Milonga
The atmosphere of the Night Milongas is unmistakably one of the most magical in the marathon.
We dance until dawn on the beautiful tandas chosen by our already very appreciated TDJs.
Tango Cafe
Relaxing indoor day milongas, Tango Cafes are the perfect occasion to enjoy an after-lunch coffee in tango ambience, to dance and connect with each other.
Guerilla Milonga
It has always been one of the main attractions of our marathon: dancing outdoors, in the center of the city, with wonderful surroundings, beautiful weather (even if that means a magic summer rain sometimes) and, of course, tango music.
In Romania, the concept of Guerilla Milonga was introduced for the first time by Tango Brașov ®, in 2009 at the second edition of the international Argentine tango festival – Transylvania Tango Fest (TTF), in Brasov.
Fashion/art corner
Gabriel Alexe
Fashion DesignerGabriel Alexe
Tango fashion also need accessories! Isn’t that right ladies and gentlemen?
So, this year’s fashion corner at Transylvania Tango Marathon® is enriched with beautiful leather handmade items, brought to us by Gabriel Alexe.
Gabriel started his production as a hobby, in 2021, and now works towards making it a family business. He creates bags, belts, card holders, even knife sheaths and, soon, wallets. All his
accessories are made of natural leather and sewn by hand.
Both ladies and gentlemen will have something to choose to go with their tango outfits, so we can’t wait to enjoy the experience together at TTM 2024.

PainterIulian Mîță
Dear tango friends,
Our 15th anniversary of Transylvania Tango Fest/Marathon® will also have an amazing art corner composed of our dear friend Iulian Mîță’s paintings. Not to mention Iulian will be there as a tanguero too, so you can have first hand discussions and dance.
„Iulian Mîţă’s creation, like many contemporary artistic trends, proposes a stylistic ambivalence, an organic destructuring of the personality that creates beauty in an apparently irreconcilable duality: cognitive paintings and graphic gesturalism, the demonstration of strength and dynamism that he achieves in the spontaneous surprise of movement through nervous but firm touches of elegance also remind me of the metabolic pretense of lyric expressionism.” (Dan Tudor Truică, artist)
See you all soon!
Mara Blaj
JewellerMara Blaj
Tango looks so much more elegant with the right accessories, don’t you think? That’s why this year at 15th TTM® we’re going to have exquisite, handmade, unique glass jewellery from Glass Tree by Mara Blaj.
„I’ve been making jewellery for five years now. It is a way of expressing my unique vision and creativity. It is also a pathway to growth.
It inspires me because I love the effect that wearing a piece of beautiful jewellery can have on one’s confidence and day. Also, jewellery can be the perfect way of connecting to a significant moment in your life depending on when or where you bought it or you wore it last. It can be a magical charm and can infuse the present moment with joy and positivity.
I am drawn to glass due to its simplicity, elegance, unpredictability and at the same time transparency. It is this elegance and this unpredictability that in my mind reminds me of the tango dancers.
I am looking forward to taking part in the TTM15!”
