Argentine Tango is in the spotlight for four days at Le Gosier, on the occasion of the second edition of the Guadeloupe Tango Festival. On the program, conferences, shows and dance classes. A Latin dance that appeals to many Guadeloupeans.
The Guadeloupe Tango Festival is celebrating its 2nd edition this weekend. Among the two hundred participants, some are new to the discipline and others are more experienced. For France-Lise, who registered for the second time, after courses in Argentina and Spain, to appreciate such a dance, it is essential to know how to let go.
As we have not mastered the dance, we always have the impression of being in an evaluation situation. When we let go, it's magnificent. We get completely carried away. For me, that's great.
France-Lise Pineau, intern
And to improve, three pairs of maestros come to share their knowledge with these apprentices, thanks to lessons given every morning. European champion, multiple finalists of the Tango Worlds in Argentina or even choreographers, with technical precision and elegance recognized worldwide, all feel a real enthusiasm among Guadeloupeans for this Tango culture.

Guadeloupeans welcome this dance in a very natural way. It is part of their culture, of their desire to dance. In this way, Tango has been returning to Guadeloupe for many years.

And if every evening, a dance ball is open to all within the hotel grounds, the organizers were forced to refuse people for the prestige evening on Saturday evening. Victim of its success, the Guadeloupe Tango Festival? We can affirm it. Let the disappointed be consoled, the Festival will return for a third edition. However, we will have to wait until 2026.
