What is it like to be at Winter Tango Napoli Festival?
Four days of intense emotions, tango deepening and plenty of fun, attending the historical milongas of Naples. Afterall, Tango is inside the milongas…
A rich program and as intriguing as our Naples, a city full of contrast: vulcano and sea, ingenious and dissolute. A city to love and discover.
Unforgettable embraces are waiting for you in this beautiful tour of all the Neapolitan milongas: Salon Baires, Quater, Majestic, Salone Margherita and La Milonga Portena, all with parquet floor…
Price: Starting at €61 for 5 Milongas and going till €172 for the complete pack (7 milongas and 6 classes)
Max number of participants: 350
Gender balance considerations: Gender balanced classes, but not milongas
Edition: 6th

TJs:
Susanna Arbitrio
Susanna Arbitrio – artistic name “Susanna e I suoi Vinili” – is a passionate Vynil collector and Vynil Tango DJ participating at several International festivals and marathons.
She loves djing with original Argentinian tango records because she prefers to watch a real painting instead of a printed reproduction. She likes to listen to the music recovering all the instrument’s “brushstrokes”. Vynil has a vibration that can touch emotionally and create a warm atmosphere.
One of the reasons Susanna loves djing is to share her big collection with many dancers that appreciate this sound. She loves tango from the 40s with some touches of the 30s, 50s and 60s

Madia Annese
Madia has been dancing tango for thirteen years, and for the last nine she got deep into the Argentine music, very carefully proposing pieces that reflect a particular sensitivity. She has performed in major Italian festivals and milongas, and she prefers the great traditional Tangos: the Tangos that excite. She is creating “Tandas” rich in rhythm and melody that inspire couples to an intense interpretation of passion and spectacle: the right balance between the interpreters of the music and the original songs.

Ilias Selalmazidis
Μy mother used to say “this kid danced first, then walked”. Tango met me unexpectedly 14 years ago. The best part of dancing Tango is the interaction between the couple on the dance floor and the way we communicate during the tanda. This interaction is what I am looking for while DJ-ing, but in this case the interaction is created between me and all the dancers. I try to capture moments, signs, expressions of the dancers, or even if it’s possible, feel the energy on the dance floor so I can harmonize it with the next tanda. I have plenty of songs to share that deserve to be heard, and wait to be danced, and I am always curious to see how they could be interpreted through the art of dance.
My preference is songs from the Golden Age. Favorite orchestras: Biagi, Donato, Troilo, Pugliese, D’Arienzo. People have described my music as Seducing, Intense, Rythmic, Flowing, Impossible to sit!

I can’t wait to see Lucila and Joe again! And Suzanna’s vinyl Djing again! It’s unique. Maybe I shouldn’t be asking this here, but are there any suggestions of what else to do while being in Napoli? (during the day obviously) Also, anyone had experience with the hotel Cristina before? We always look for places that we are not treated like tourists.
Thank you for sharing your questions Olivia! Related to suggestions of what else to do in Napoli, we contacted the organizers, to see if they can help. We are looking into obtaining information about accommodation as well.
Hug, and let go,
the T.A.F. team
Hey all! A bit more info on what the vendors will bring would be nice. I put the event in my calendar, and I hope I can make it this year, I am looking forward to see Noelia dancing again! And I haven’t danced for a long time now… :-/
