Join us at our GALA MILONGA with performances by Tangueros as well as the Perth Qualifying Round of the Australian Tango Dance Challenge - first ever to be held in Perth in conjunction with the organisers of the Sydney Salon Tango Festival.

Come and discover why our Milonga has become the talk of the tango scene Australia-wide.

Dance Challenge will commence before the performances from our special guests Jairo Sanchez Rivera and Amy Teuchert.

The organiser of the Sydney Tango Salon Festival, has approached us to host the qualifying round of the Australian Tango Dance Challenge (ATDC) in Perth *. The ATDC is a special ‘happening’ which will offer tango beginners and experienced students the encouragement to dedicate more of their time to working on their dance together and with their teachers.

The competition is open to all amateur tango dance couples. All participants must be at least 18 years of age.

For complete details of the Competition and logistics for interstate travellers, go to the Australian Tango Dance Challenge website or contact the organiser.

1. Pre-register - Contestants must use the Registration Form on the ATDC website under “The Challenge” to register and pay. Specify Beginner/Open Category.
2. Contestants must email their names to Champagne Tango Perth so that we know the number of couples to expect on the night.
