This time Tango Port Tallinn really represents a PORT for tango people. We invite you to different places near the port: to milongas in the middle of seagrass, dancing IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA on Sunday – in a fairytale under boats and next to a real submarine!

It is the 2nd international Argentine tango festival in Tallinn, a city that hides thousands of secrets in the romantic medieval old town, at the seaside and in many other unique places in the heart of Tallinn. This year the festival is co-organised together with Tallinn Maritime Days.

The dancers of classical tango and tango nuevo meet to have lessons and milongas with live music and world famous tango performers and teachers such as Cecilia González (Argentina) & Somer Sürgit (USA/Turkey), Inês Gomes & Rui Barroso (Portugal) and Kaja & Martin Keil (Estonia, Germany).

A special musicality class to all levels is given by German musicians Frank Schulte (piano) and Christian Gerber (bandoneón).

Live music is played during Friday, Saturday and Sunday concert-milongas. The artists include musicians from Estonia (Kirill Ogorodnikov – guitar, Jekaterina Danilova – accordion/bandoneón, Nele Suisalu – vocals), Quinteto Ángel from Germany (with Christian Gerber on bandoneón who played both in Trio and Sexteto Stazo Mayor at Tango Port Tallinn 2011) and duo Aires de Finlandia – Petri Kaivanto (Finland) & Alejandro Polemann (Argentina).

Milongas are DJ-ed by DJ Kaia Hüva, DJ Kaja Keil (both from Estonia), DJ Nemanja Sonero (Serbia).

In their classes they put the focus on a comfortable joyful dance with a delightful contact in the embrace, which gives room to various improvisations, away from the mere memorizing of steps.
