Dear Tango Family,
Join us March 26–29, 2026 for the 9th Edition of the Southern California Tango Championship and Festival (SCTC) — the premier international tango event in the United States!
Get ready to experience the excitement of competition, the joy of learning, and the magic of new embraces. SCTC 2026 will once again bring world-renowned maestros, spectacular performances, international DJs, vibrant milongas, and a thrilling championship — all in one unforgettable event.
Our mission is to unite people and communities through a shared passion for Argentine Tango. In each other’s embrace we are one, and in our differences, we find the true beauty of this dance.
Abrazos,
Yuli B and the SCTC team
