We are incredibly honored to have one of the greatest tango composers and pianists of today, Julian Perialta, joining us for three days, along with four other incredible musicians. This is Julian’s only engagement on the East Coast, and we are humbled and fortunate that he has made time to teach and perform at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School.

Activities take place Monday through Wednesday evenings, replacing our regularly scheduled events. Please take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity. Whatever your level of Argentine tango dance and/or music involvement, you will learn A TON and have a great time.

ALL LEVELS of tango dancers and musicians welcome, including those with no experience of any kind.
