Friends, Fjord and Tango 2012

The two first editions in 2010 and 2011 happened to be very cheerful events. Our little and cosy festival is now back the last week-end of August. The concept is to gather tango friends and get a lot of opportunities to dance and know each other in a very relaxed atmosphere.
