ABOUT US

Dear Tango Family,

Join us April 1–4, 2027, as we celebrate a major milestone: 10 years of the Southern California Tango Championship and Festival!

Ten editions of tango, music, competition, learning, friendships, and unforgettable moments on and off the dancefloor. We’re getting ready to celebrate this journey with a truly special anniversary event, bringing together our international tango community for four days of world-renowned maestros, spectacular performances, international DJs, live music, vibrant milongas, and the excitement of the championship.

Over the years, SoCal has grown into one of the leading international tango events in the United States, welcoming dancers from near and far. And at the heart of it all is what makes tango so special: the connections we create, the communities we build, and the moments we share in each other’s embrace.

We can’t wait to celebrate these 10 editions with you and make new memories together!

Abrazos,
Yuli B and the SCTC team
