The Championship will provide winning tango couples with the opportunity to represent Australia in the VI World Tango Championship being held in Buenos Aires from 16 - 26 August 2008.

The accompanying Tango Festival is the perfect excuse to interact with other like-minded people from interstate and overseas. The Festival is being run by  tango dancers for  tango dancers. Register Workshops Milongas, Merchandise
