Dear friends,
It would be great if our lovely tango organisers could check the TangoNut Calendar entries over the Christmas – New Year period and let me know if events need to be edited at this time so our community know what exactly what is on. Thanks!
From Alma de Tango:
Thanks to Fabio's initiative on bringing in the Queen of rhythm back to Australia, collaborating with other cities, Noelia Hurtado's Brisbane leg among her 2026 Australian tour is currently set from 9th April to 14th April 2026. (subject to change)
From Esther:
As I am on annual leave this December, DJ Roland will step in and not only do the monthly GoTango Practica for me on Wed 17th Dec, 6-8.15pm NSW time! but also an extra GoTango Practica the week before, on Wed, 10 Dec, 6-8.15pm NSW time!
Then, between 18 Dec - 6 January, GoTango is having a break.
All classes will resume from Wednesday 7th January 2026.

Byron Bay Tango Festival - 6 – 8 March 2026 NEWS!
1.This year the immersion class (Red pass) and workshops class (Blue pass) are filling up super-fast. The feedback I'm getting is that Andres' Molina and Natacha Lockwood are awesome and keen dancers like yourself don't want to miss out on their classes. Don't you miss out.
2. All passes, including for single follow/lead and milongas-only are now open. However more follow-only have booked, so we'll be halting this option very soon to allow lead-only bookings to catch up and maintain lead: follow balance. The message here is that leads may like to secure their place a little earlier this year. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
3. Did you know that numbers at the festival are limited to avoid overcrowded milongas? This festival provides a stress-free environment for learning and dancing.
4. Finally, the cost of passes are sooo.. reasonable and the Early Bird prices incredible for such an iconic festival in such a spectacular destination.
5. The festival is now organized by a team (myself, Sammi, Glen and Yulia) and "the team" is looking forward to your company.
