The Venue
Tango club Corazón is our home for this edition of Totally in Tango. They exist for 25 years now and are very happy to support a double role tango event in their community.
The venue has a high-quality wooden dance floor, a good sound system, and a bar. Daylight streams in through big windows. There is a 'garden' area for us to cool down in between dances. I'm sure we'll have a great time.
You will find local travel information to the venue on this page.
A small warning to all coming by car, the city of Freiburg has a 30 km/h policy on the whole territory. There are many speed cameras installed, and they work at all times of the day.

* 19 November is the National Day of Mourning (Volkstrauertag) and is an occasion to remember all victims of war and tyranny. Like the Sunday of the Dead (Totensonntag), the National Day of Mourning is a “silent day” - this means that in some regions of Germany, music or dance events are prohibited. While National Day of Mourning is not a public holiday, it is categorized as a silent day (stiller Tag) in all or part of Germany. In some states, special restrictions may apply for certain types of activities. Depending on the state, businesses may follow normal or restricted opening hours, or they may be closed for the day.
