Agua dulce – encuentro milonguero de enero 2027

Agua Dulce 2027 is an intimate encuentro milonguero in Ravenna, Italy, 22–24 January 2027. Held in a 15th-century noble palace, it offers 6 milongas for up to 120 dancers in a strictly traditional milonguero atmosphere.

Agua Dulce – encuentro milonguero de enero 2027 invites you to Ravenna, one of Italy's most breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage cities, for three days of pure milonguero tango from 22 to 24 January 2027. The venue is Palazzo Bracci-Minzoni, a stunning 15th-century Venetian-style noble residence now known as Albergo Cappello, where the elegant Sala Yachting becomes the dance floor for six milongas across the weekend.

The encuentro follows a strict traditional code: closed embrace, tandas and cortinas, cabeceo, no back steps, and seating divided into separate leader and follower sections — no mixed seating. With a maximum of 120 participants and a careful balance between roles (no more than 10% surplus of single followers), every dancer can expect a focused, respectful, and deeply social tango experience.

Between milongas, Ravenna itself is the reward. Its cobblestone streets, Piazza del Popolo, the Basilica di San Vitale, and the world's greatest collection of ancient mosaics are all within walking distance of the venue. The historic Mercato Coperto, just steps away, offers local gastronomy at its finest. Optional lunches and dinners at Ristorante Cappello are available, along with partner accommodation at La Reunion ApartHotel, just 350 metres from the dance floor.

Organised by Enza Stagnini for Luoghi di Tango ASD (Milan), Agua Dulce is a labour of love rooted in community, tradition, and the joy of sharing tango in beautiful places. Registration is mandatory and individual; spaces are strictly limited.
