Welcome to the Terrapin Tango Festival Homepage


You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive. ~Merce Cunningham

The Terrapin Tango Festival has become an annual pilgrimage for numerous tangueros. The first festival was held in 2010, marking 2013 as the fourth festival.
