Byron Bay Tango Festival: The Australian home of alternative lifestyles and of artistic innovation, is the setting for the annual Byron Bay Tango Festival from 8th to 10th September 2006. From its inception in 1998, this festival has pioneered the "Master Class" paradigm of immersion learning where a group of dancers journey together through an intense series of workshops under the guidance of a master teacher. Surrounded by the beauty and esoteric ambience of Byron Bay, the arduous journey of the group inexorably leads the individual dancer a little closer to the threshold of that sublime connection which we crave for, and know to be the essence of Tango.
