OUR CONCEPT
Tango Mania is a festival within a marathon!
We create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who is crazy in love with tango — a place to share joy, connection, and endless tandas and living in la vida loca !
Throughout the event, we ensure gender balance, offering equal opportunities for leaders and followers to dance and connect.
The lineup features some of World's most admired tango couples — artists deeply connected with the community, known for their authenticity, artistry, and warmth both on and off the floor.
Tango Mania combines quality, inclusivity, and accessibility — making it the most affordable tango event in Istanbul, where world-class dance, music, and friendship come together in one magical experience.

Our lovely gathering will start on Wednesday, the 22th of April with a pre party and will end on Sunday Night Milonga, the 26 th of November. We will dance more than 50+ hours in 4 days.
