While this Belgian city is unlikely to conjure up images of couples passionately dancing the tango, it is the setting of the Antwerp Tango Festival. Performers, teachers and musicians fly over from Argentina for the four day event, which features shows as well as workshops for audiences to participate in. As well as performances featuring up and coming talent, established dancers perform to live music and there are lessons for small groups. All the action takes place in the magnificent Zaal AthenA, situated on the top floor of one of the famous buildings of Antwerpen City.
