lastango en

1st - 5th July, 2026

About

Probably the most relaxed tango event on the coast. It couldn't be any different in the totally summer atmosphere of an exotic island in the middle of the Adriatic. Everything is there - sun, sea, tango, starry sky, good company, tango hugs,... And besides dancing, there is also the will and time for excellent workshops and enjoying tango concerts. This is an event not to be missed and should be booked in time due to great interest and limited accommodation capacity.

Teachers

Samantha Dispari & Santiago Fina LasTango 2026
Samantha Dispari & Santiago Fina

Tango dancers and educators with a profound connection to the Tango heritage.

Having had the privilege to learn and grow under the guidance of some of the most renowned Milongueros, they carry their legacy with pride and passion.

In their workshops they prioritize techniques and mechanics that make movements work within each couple and in the context of social dancing.

For them the movements are an excuse for work in connection, balance, musicality, social dance and more.
