The overall satisfaction rate of the responses to the 2024 evaluation questionnaire was 19.1 out of 20, so we are renewing the formula in 2025, taking into account the suggestions made.

You have asked us to offer longer stays. We are therefore proposing stays of 5, 4 or 3 days.


What are the strengths of this event, which takes its inspiration from the ‘encuentros’ while modifying some of their characteristics?

Above all, it allows a real meeting between passionate tangueros coming from many countries and knowing, for many, the tango of Buenos Aires where the project was built over the course of the tango nights.

A “turnkey” weekend including, in a single registration: up to 8 milongas, on-site accommodation, buffet meals, soft drinks and snacks during the balls, travel assistance for participants arriving by plane and train, a car-sharing application for people who want to come by car.

A weekend truly among tangueros because the 98 accommodations in the holiday village and all the associated facilities are reserved for us (swimming pool, gym, bar, park) from Friday in a magnificent region (Saint Raphaël and Sainte Maxime nearby), Saint Tropez in 20 mn by shuttle boat… See the map: HERE

160 participants maximum for great conviviality with leaders/followers parity while accepting individual registrations. Gentlemen dancers coming solo, you are more than welcome!

Find out more about the artists : DJs, musicians, teachers?

 

DJ CyberChris (France) will keep you dancing on Thursday evening

He’s one of those people you don’t forget once you listen to them. DJ CyberChris takes to the stage like an orchestra conductor who grabs his baton and launches the concert with a gesture. A modern-day troubadour, each time he performs he offers the very best in musical compositions for milongas where dance and music become ‘the queens of the night’.

 

 

 

 

Gaspar Pocai (Argentine-France) will keep you dancing on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening.

Argentine musician (bandoneon, guitar and vocals). A nomadic artist, he has developed a rich and popular universe through his travels and encounters. With his milonguero repertoire still in his pocket, he waltzes at the heart of the ball with the great classics and contemporary orchestras. A game of listening, improvisation and complicity with the dancers who guide the milonga.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DJ Andrew OLDROYD (Angleterre) will keep you dancing on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.

Andrew is a solidly traditional Tango DJ with over 20 years experience in the U.K. and increasingly in Europe.
He aims to keep the dancing energy high by playing the A sides drawn from the Golden Age, 1935 to 1955, with only little chosen outside this period.
He keeps the dancers on the floor by frequently changing the energy and mood generated by the music between the tandas. The mood within each tanda however is kept consistent

 

 

 

 

DJ Kane (Argentine/France) will keep you dancing on Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening

Enjoy the best tandas with Kane. Resident DJ at the Catedral Club in Buenos Aires, he has also performed in the best milongas in Argentina and worked in the Argentine Tango World Cup among other events. He will go through different eras and styles! You’re going to vibrate, you’re going to dance!!!

 

 

 

DUO DE MON CHAPEAU (Argentine/France) plays on Saturday evening.

To the fire the scores to set the dancefloor ablaze. Since 2008, these two companions have been playing a varied and milonguero repertoire with mischievousness. Their music mixes the intensity of the tango, the simplicity of the milonga and the elegance of the waltz with the dirt and popular phrasing in the service of a traditional tango of today.
Julien BLONDEL: piano
Gaspar POCAI: bandoneon, vocals and guitar

 

 

 

 

 

Roland GRITTANI (Canada/France) will play several times during the Encuentrito..

Roland has been dancing Argentine tango since 1996. He has performed at many international tango festivals and milongas (Buenos Aires, Paris, Lisbon, Toronto, Vancouver, Belgrade, USA, etc.) and for many tango couples in improvised moments of sharing the joy of tango. For him, it is always a pleasure to play the music that gets the dancers moving in our mutual expression of tango.

 

 

 

 

 


As in 2024, Encuentrito will be proposing tango classes (optional and subject to registration, €15/person, €25/couple) and introductions to the chacarera and zamba (free, subject to registration) given by two renowned teachers: Kane Nieves & Barbara Borrelli.

Kane Nieves et Bárbara Borrelli are an Argentine Tango couple who have toured around part of the world. Born in the land of the 2×4, Kane is a dancer with a prolific career in his country endorsed by renowned Argentine institutions and associations: Grupo Copes, Trabajadores del Tango Danza, Milongas con Sentido Social (Miseso), Catedral Club, etc. Bárbara is a dancer trained around the world with teachers of high international renown, she has a wide pedagogical scheme. Together they give workshops, seminars and courses on tango, milonga and vals. They show the different orchestras, traditional and new dance forms, introducing us to this wonderful dance

On Sunday, they invite you to discover zamba, a dance that evokes nostalgia and connection with the land and culture of northern Argentina! A dance of freedom, of seduction with a strong connection. Topics: use of the headscarf, forms and musicality.
The following day, they will be leading a practica where you will dance the zamba as well as the chacarera – an emblematic rhythm of Argentine folklore music, which reflects the energy and passion of the people of northern Argentina! Joy and complicity will be fundamental elements!
