Florence Tango Festival 2008

The sixth edition of the Firenze Tango Festival will take place in one of the most important theatres of the city: Teatro Saschall, easy to reach and with big parking.

Lessons will take place at Saschall and in the theatre Otel, with wood floor, 5 minutes distance from Saschall.

The 6th edition of the Florence Tango Festival is scheduled for 24th through to 27th April 2008 and the venue is the Saschall Theatre with its 2,500 square metres of floor space. There’s therefore ample room and functional facilities for all coaching and dancing activities. Amenities include waiter table service in the evening, bar open throughout the milonga, dining at the theatre restaurant, and much more besides. That’s why thousands of tangueros who expect the highest quality standards in services and artistic performance, like ourselves, will be coming to the Festival. More room, greater comfort, great ambience, top performers and above all more milonga!
