Welcome to the Abrazos Tango Festival! My name is Mariela Franganillo and I’m the artistic director of the Festival. With the help of master teachers, dancers, and musicians, I hope to bring to life the picture of rich possibilities offered by Argentine culture, dance, and music. Simply performing steps is not enough. Connecting with your partner and the music is where the art of tango truly lies. I have found that technique is a way to get there, but not the end result in itself, and in this festival you will have the opportunity to experience all three of these critical elements.
