Thierry Le Cocq, launcher of the ABANERAZ project, and Alessia Lyndin, dancers, teachers...organisers of the well-known CABARET TANGO in PARIS, parents of the lovely little Eloïse and Louis.

Besides dancing, teaching and organising in Paris and luckily all around the world, we wanted to create a FRIENDLY TANGO FESTIVAL  in the CITY OF LIGHTS.

And WE DID IT...FITA '09, '10 were success full stories.

400 visitors

90% of friends, coming from France,  all over Europe (Spain, Poland Sweden, Russia, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, Hungaria..) and even further from Columbia, Russia, United States.

Masterclasses fully booked.

Danceable Concert with a very jazzy Tango Club atmosphere, seducing listeners.

Crowded Milongas and spectacular shows with real complicity between dancers and public.

Intimate first experiences, where everyone have felt like dancing home, surrounded by friends or family.

So, WE now count on YOU, FRIENDS, to make it even better for this 3RD edition ...  a MUST in the INTERNATIONAL TANGO FESTIVAL SCHEDULE, FITA '11....MOONLIGHT SERENADE

Every year ABANERAZ proposes you, the third week of September in PARIS an INTERNATIONAL ARGENTINIAN TANGO FESTIVAL, called FITA.

This  TANGO FESTIVAL is made of FRIENDSHIP, OF LIVELY CONVERSATIONS AROUND A NICE DRINK, WARMFULL ENVIRONMENT, MUSIC LISTENING, AND FROM TIME TO TIME A GOOD WALK where are gathered the time of a few days in a common place the best and most authentic milongueros of the Tango planet coming from the four corners of the sphere specially to celebrate this peculiar moment.

A FESTIVAL with HUMAN SIZE limited  ..... to 250 people for this 3rd year, all friends or friends of friends.

MASTER CLASSES will be proposed, high level workshops, MIN. 4/5 years of dance and intensive practice.

The invited MAESTRI will animate 3 hours duration workshops.... a PERFECT formula to install real interactivity through which everyone, Teacher and Students, manage to enjoy and profit from the richness of this endless proximity.

Subjects are proposed on site considering the necessity of the students during very INTERACTIVE CLASSES.

We also have the desire to promote Argentinian Culture through a FOLKLORE EXHIBITION, as we decided not to propose anymore Folklore Classes, not a big succes so far.

Like next year, it will also be the occasion to propose FREE INITIATION WORKSHOPS to allow the new entrants to take the full measurement of the accessible pleasure but also of the field realities of this amazing dance.

Once again, everyone will be able to benefit from warm sonorities of the invited LIVE ORCHESTRA at the time of the MAIN EVENING, just before the MILONGA to allow people to choose to attend or not the concert.

And finally, like the previous years, each Milonga, will have the privilege to welcome a DIFFERENT DJs among the bests on earth.

BEST QUALITY DANCERS, NICE FRIENDLY PEOPLE and RESPECT on the dancefloor ... are the 3 ways of the FITA '11

This year, we will open the Festival with a Tango WELCOMING APERITIVE with ALL MAESTRI to create the perfect mood between all of the participants of those 4 crazy nights, while projecting a MOVIE, and close  it with a FAREWELL MILONGA where all the guests will be able to eat ARGENTINE FOOD and have a drink before enjoying the LAST MILONGA of this MOON SERENADE TANGO FESTIVAL

Will be present for the event SEVERAL COUPLES of TANGO MAESTRI, a FOLKLORE DUO, a LIVE ORCHESTRA and 4 DJs coming from all Europe (Italy, Germany, Greece, France, Hungria, Turkey, Sweeden...), and Argentina

And of course you'll be able to buy TANGO SHOES,  and CDs :
