“Intimate tango encuentro in Rome's magical Crypt”
About el Abanico Encantador
El Abanico Encantador is a cozy tango encuentro in Rome's elegant Prati district, 27 Feb–1 Mar 2026. Held in a beautiful historic Crypt near the Vatican, it features five international DJs and a full buffet included.
El Abanico Encantador returns to the heart of Rome for a warm, intimate tango encuentro from 27 February to 1 March 2026. Described as a 'piccolo encuentro' — a little gathering — this festival is all about genuine connection, heartfelt embraces, and the pure joy of dancing tango.
The event takes place in La Cripta, a magical and atmospheric venue in Prati, one of Rome's most central and elegant neighbourhoods, just a short stroll from the historic centre and the Vatican. The setting is as enchanting as the dancing itself, offering a uniquely beautiful backdrop for every milonga.
Five internationally celebrated DJs — Philippe Gonella (France), Lilijana Maric (Slovenia/Austria), Dele (England), Katya Waltz (Italy), and Paola Palaia (Italy) — will guide the music across six milongas spread over the weekend: an opening milonga on Friday evening, afternoon and night milongas on Saturday and Sunday.
The Full Pass (120€) grants access to all milongas and includes a savory and sweet buffet, wine, beer, and soft drinks throughout every session. Whether you spend your days exploring Rome's timeless streets or dive straight into the tango from early afternoon, El Abanico Encantador promises a weekend of warmth, beauty, and unforgettable dancing.
