Life is Tango – Festival
Festival celebrating Bryndís and Hany’s 30-year tango dance anniversary, October 2–4, 2026
The festival Life is Tango is held to celebrate 30 years of dance and music – a passion that became Bryndís and Hany’s profession and has shaped their lives as well as those of countless other artists around the world. To mark this occasion, a three-day festival will be held where dance, music, and the community of those who love tango take center stage.
The program includes two three-day workshops/seminars for new and experienced dancers, a milonga on Friday evening, and a festival evening on Saturday with performances, tango shows, and a tango DJ playing into the night.
Special guests are the dancers Sabrina Veliz and Alejandro Lencina from Buenos Aires, who are internationally recognized as top-tier dancers and teachers. Sabrina and Alejandro will teach at the festival workshops and perform at the festival evening along with Bryndís and Hany.
