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 was a successfull first Edition.

400 visitors

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

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.

An intimate first experience, 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 next edition ...  a MUST in the INTERNATIONAL TANGO FESTIVAL SCHEDULE... FITA '10

Every year ABANERAZ proposes you first week of September in PARIS an INTERNATIONAL ARGENTINIAN TANGO FESTIVAL.

Far from a BLING BLING FESTIVAL, 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 2nd year, all friends or friends of friends.

TANGO INTERMEDIATE and 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 SESSION.

So we decided to make a special offer this year to make it an even bigger succes.  

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 OPENING EVENING.

Finally 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 '10

Will be present for the occasion 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
