Dear Tango Family…. SCTC is back!!!You are cordially invited to the 9th edition of the Southern California Tango Championship and Festival, the grandest international tango event in the United States! Mark your calendars, March 10th -12th, 2023 and get ready to experience the thrill of competition, the wonderment of learning, and the magic of new embraces!The organizer of SCTC, Yuli B, along with her dedicated team, will once again work relentlessly to bring back this unforgettable event and offer up tango delights like never before. From world renown maestros, incredible milongas and performances, international Dj’s, to a heart stopping competition. This dynamic event has something special for everyone… we strive to continue to evolve and bring to you an event that is unforgettable. Our Jack and Jill category was such a success that it is now an entry in other competition in the US. With the same spirit in mind, we have added a category; a pro/am tango de pista category…. It is going to be a jaw dropper! Our mission stands strong: to unite people and communities through the shared passion for Argentine Tango music and dance… in each other’s embrace we are one and it is in our differences that we bring out the beauty of this dance!
