Festival de Prayssac

This beloved summer gathering has earned a reputation for its unique teaching formula: maestros are chosen specifically for their pedagogical qualities, ensuring dancers of all levels experience genuine and measurable progress throughout the week.

Workshops are offered in 6-day and 3-day formats. Each 6-day stage consists of six 90-minute classes focused on a single theme, developed progressively from Sunday to Friday - giving participants real depth rather than a superficial overview. The 3-day option offers flexibility, whether you can only attend half the week or wish to combine two 3-day stages for greater thematic variety and exposure to different maestros.

The evening milongas are a highlight in their own right, with a different DJ each night - including both resident DJs and the maestros themselves. Several evenings feature live music: the ensemble Sin Vuelta, orchestra Picotango, and ensemble Hyperion all perform during the festival, accompanied by demonstrations from the teaching couples. A special open-air apero-tango on the town square adds a festive community spirit.

All stages and milongas take place at the Espace Maurice Faure and its adjoining rooms. On-site vendors offer tango shoes and clothing throughout the week. Organized by Association Le Temps du Tango, Festival de Prayssac is a warmly curated, educationally serious, and socially vibrant event not to be missed.
