It is an opportunity to exchange ideas, this is why this event is not called a festival but a 'laboratory'.
Last year's teachers were Gaston & Mariela, Sigrid & Mazen and Daniel & Anna. Their performances are on YouTube ( http://fr.youtube.com/user/tangodj).
To get an impression of the event you can visit the last year's website.
More information for 2008 have published on http://www.tangolab.ru.
For foreign dancers this is an opportunity to meet Moscow and St.Petersbourg's best tango dancers, visit the city and enjoy Russian hospitality.
