¡Hi family!
After the success and all the excitement of last year, Tango Cardona is back! Tango in Cardona is an unconventional encounter and an experience in itself. We learn and improve to offer a free and bohemian tango experience that is magical. Attending this event is becoming part of a great family that meets annually to celebrate life, good vibes, dance and friendship. In this area of freedom, there are no limits, no timetables that penalize, or strict curtains in the milongas, unless the DJ needs a good beer. There are also no rigid formalisms. The «cabeceo» is for when you’re sleepy and decide to go to sleep. From the organization, we encourage you to come and make this something unforgettable!
Let’s dance!

teacher
Carmen María Hergos
Mexican dancer and teacher based in Barcelona. She has been working for more than twelve years on the research of a more natural and inclusive tango, with more communication possibilities of the dance partner and also the tango community. She writes, reflects and teaches dance from the understanding of both roles, and also from a role-free point, to enhance the connection with music and the act of dancing as a celebration of life. In Barcelona she works actively with her own group: Tango Natural. She takes part in the organisation of the Glorieta Milonga, has been a guest teacher at the Tangopostale festival in Toulouse, France, and the Contactango Collage festival in Catalonia. She has also taken her workshops and classes to Cancun, Merida and Mexico City. She has been part of the organisation of the first queer tango festival in Spain.
Felipe Slimobich
Dancer, composer, writer and organiser of alternative tango events, he has participated in various festivals, both as a musician and as a dancer and teacher, around Europe, Argentina, Russia, the United States and Malaysia since 2001.
The important point, according to his philosophy, is not to stay in the comfort of traditional tango, but to make creative use of it in order to build his own style, to generate new possibilities and to interact with other languages in order to expand sensory experiences and to travel with the imagination through dance.

He tours in Europe since 2007. Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Norway.

dj’s
DJ OKER

Always faithful to traditional Tango, he is a great artist opening new spaces with his alternative music proposal.
El Giócher
Ives Bourguet Caldarella | Mexico/ Italy
According to El Giócher dance is a way to play, so his musical suggestions are like a playground full of a wide ranging of emotions and surprises. For this reason his eclectic selection includes traditional tango from all periods and world music that can be danced inside the embrace of tango. By listening the mood and the ambient in the dance floor, he leads and follows the dancers movement, just like as he was dancing with all of them.
He plays in milongas since 2007. In Rome he was one of the organizers and DJ resident at the milonga Kriminal. Currently he organizes and plays with other friends at milonga del Notariat in Barcelona. He has been invited in several milongas and festivals in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Holland.

accomodation
Accommodation “Versalles Prime”
We dedicate this type of accommodation to the fact of having your own room in rehabilitated apartments where going back to the origin of materials and design has prevailed. They have ambient, and let you travel in time
Accommodation “Regular fit”
This type of accommodation is the typical apartment of the 80ies, where one still doubts if that is cool or not. We will have to wait for future times to decide. 80ies wallpaper, yes, and everything works fine.
Common spaces
You will remember the pyjama parties of your childhood.
