Our Vision:
Totally in Tango @ Bern will be a dance-focused double-role Argentine tango weekend.
We aim to bring together dancers from Switzerland and surrounding countries for a weekend of sharing, discoveries, new experiences, and local flavour.
The DJ’s will be local and international, bringing different styles of tango music, and always very danceable.
The Location:
Club Viento Sur is a true tango venue, managed by Sonia and Mario with an eye for aesthetic harmony and comfort for dancers. It used to be the presentation room of the famous Toblerone factory. We are very happy that Totally in Tango will take place at their venue.
Bern is the legislative capital of Switzerland, big in many aspects, but still on a human scale. Known for its relaxed charm, it features a UNESCO-listed medieval old town surrounded by the River Aare. The city boasts over 6 kilometers of covered shopping arcades (the Lauben), historic fountains, and iconic landmarks like the Zytglogge clock tower.
A quick breakdown of what makes Bern unique:
- The Old City: Rebuilt in local gray-green sandstone after a 1405 fire, it remains one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cityscapes.
- Key Landmarks: Includes the Federal Palace of Switzerland (home to the Swiss government), the Bern Minster cathedral, and the BearPark, the city's famous symbol.
- River Culture: During warmer months, the River Aare transforms into a popular, natural urban swimming experience.
- Panoramic Views: The Rose Garden (Rosengarten) sits on a hill overlooking the old town and the Alps.
We offer the opportunity to discover some of its beauty together with the other participants (see below at the ‘extra program’ section).
