Traditional Etiquettes
-
We encourage the traditional social tango etiquette in the marathon and invitation by mirada and cabeceo.
-
You may try to ‘chat-eceo’ or 'grab-eceo' at your own risk, only if he/she is your best friend!
-
As experienced social dancers we urge all participants to respect others with considerate floorcraft.
Please note:
-
Participants behaving in any way which the organisers seem as anti-social, and which may affect the enjoyment of others may be asked to leave the marathon.
-
As with all tango marathon, entry is by registration/acceptance to the weekend – no day passes or partial passes are available.. Please do not make travel arrangements until you have received an email confirmation of you place, and your registration and payment have been processed.
​
Please respect others and we we will ensure you have a splendid time!
