“Open-Role Close Embrace: Dance Both Sides of Tango”
About Dos Corazones - Open Role in a Close Embrace
Dos Corazones is a festivalito in Saarbrucken, Germany celebrating open-role dancing in close embrace. Dec 3-6, 2026, featuring workshops, top DJs, and a welcoming community for double-rolers.
Dos Corazones is a unique festivalito dedicated to open-role dancing in close embrace, held at the Acting & Arts school in Saarbrücken, Germany. Now in its 4th edition (December 3–6, 2026), it brings together dancers who love to switch roles, dance cross-role, or simply thrive in an environment where every person in the room is a potential partner.
The event is hosted by Melina Sedó and her dance partner Detlef Engel, two internationally respected teachers who have long championed role fluidity in Argentine tango. Their students from across Europe and the USA form a warm, experienced community that sets the tone for the weekend — civilised rondas, respectful mirada & cabeceo, and beautifully curated traditional music.
The programme spans four evenings of milongas with five accomplished DJs — Marina Mondini, Lua, Meeri Friman, Melina Sedó, and Elke Schauf — plus a Saturday workshop and the signature Milonguero Bootcamp on Friday evening. The Bootcamp is a perfect icebreaker focusing on abrazos, movement, and ronda survival, open to newcomers and returning guests alike. Thursday's pre-milonga is open to the general public.
The all-inclusive registration fee of €160 covers the Bootcamp, the workshop, and all drinks and snacks during milongas. Dancers register as leaders, followers, or double-role dancers, with 15% of places reserved for gender-typical role dancers. If you want deep connection, musical tango, and a community that truly gets open-role dancing, Dos Corazones is your event.
