WELCOME BACK TO ATF 2018
We are glad to announce that this year all our events will take place in the same building, the beautiful Zaal Athena, including Sala Athena for the evening milongas, Sala San Telmo for workshops and after parties, Sala Caminito for workshops and apero milongas in case of rain and El Patio La Morocha, outdoor courtyard for our apero milongas en asado, Argentinian BBQ.
Another big advantage is that very close to Zaal Athena, there are lots of hotels ( 1 to 4 stars) and apartments to rent for short periods, as well as restaurants of all types and prices.
For the tangueros coming from abroad, in Brussels Zaventem Airport there is an underground railway station ( -1) and it takes 35 minutes to get to Antwerp Central Station. Zaal Athena is only 500 meters away !

Aníbal & Valeria, as an Argentine couple of dancers and teachers, represent the traditional style of Buenos Aires with great personality and a youthful touch. They belong to the last generation formed by real milongueros and grandmasters. Their lessons and personal style have led them to traveling around the world with different shows or as teachers at prestigious festivals.
For 12 years now they they have developed a teaching method aiming to simplify the difficult, comfort, hug and encourage naturalness, although without neglecting aesthetics. Their curiosity made them take classes with many teachers and discover very different styles, making them experience different types of hugs, energy, techniques and interpretations that are now very useful to harness the talents and capabilities of each student.
