Mission of Doble Ocho

 

 

Doble Ocho is a complete tango festival, totally one of a kind. The festival has a unique sociable atmosphere, where it is easy to find old friends or make new ones. It offers an innovative programme within a traditional tangofestival framework.

 

Over the years, Doble Ocho has maintained its unique formula with events like the 'Caravane Tango', an attempt at a tango dancing world record, a concert with bandoneón, double bass and church organ in
Nijmegen's St Stephen's Church, the first tango fusion night seen at a tango festival in the Netherlands and most recently the introduction of the music competition. But also the tango Fusion Music JAM is one of a kind in tangoland. Doble Ocho is not a fusion festival, but more a festival where creativity is stimulated in optima forma with a classical base. And where a good music programme is becoming more and more important.

 

So, there's clearly much more to experience than just the workshops and salons. With in the 2010 edition from march 17 to march 21 everyday LIVE tangomusic. Tangueros and tangueras who want to dance (a lot), It is Possible !! We provide plenty of opportunity to do so. In fact, in the 2010 festival you can dance for 8 days from march 12 in the classic Spiegeltent ( tangocafé's) right through the goodbye salon in El Corte on March 21.

 

 

So we welcome you for a complete TANGO EXPERIENCE with music, dance, culture and fun!!
