Why should I become a member?As a member, you have the opportunity to participate in tango lessons and various events organized by Amigos del Tango. The association mainly offers tango lessons in connection with festivals. The association's annual events are Tango Frostbite and Kesäleiri festivals and Helsinki Milonga Weekend - to participate in all of these you must be a member. As a member of the association, you will receive a membership letter in your email a few times a year. The membership letter contains information about tango events and the activities of the el Ático dance studio. As a member, you get a discounted price to el Atico's weekly milongas. The association's Dance Hall is at your disposal for training around the clock, as long as you have paid the training fee!

How much does membership cost and where exactly does the payment go?The membership fee is currently 25 euros per calendar year. For example, if you participate in a milonga 9 times during the year, the membership fee has already paid for itself for you (milonga membership price 7 euros/others 10 euros). Membership fees partly cover the basic activities of the association. The membership fees cover, for example, the dance studio space rent and Teosto fees.
