SPRING BREAK Tango Party 2023
About
In 2023, thanks to the holiday Monday the Spring Break Tango Party will take place in a looooong weekend: we’ll dance from Friday afternoon to Monday afternoon (no warmup or after marathon), so the basic packages will include three nights in an all-inclusive formula, not two as usual.
​
The marathon is an optimally sized event: role-balanced, friendly atmosphere, perfect dancefloor (floating wooden laminate with 5mm absorbent mat), relaxing social area, and lots of windows to have the full day and night experience!
Participants will be hosted a few meters away from the dancefloor, in the double, triple/quadruple rooms of the Torre Marina Residence. This is not luxury accommodation, but you will find all you need to spend relaxing time between a tanda and… another one!
The package is straightly ALL-INCLUSIVE, so the marathon price includes:
-
4 DAYS OF TANGO PARTY with afternoon, evening and night milongas from FRIDAY 28 April to Monday 1 May (music will stop at 20:00), with snacks and beverages during the event.
-
3 NIGHTS ACCOMMODATIONS IN ALL-INCLUSIVE FORMULA (in rooms with private bathroom) comprehensive of 3 dinners (Friday - Sunday), 3 breakfasts (Saturday- Monday), and 3 lunches (Saturday-Monday).
We look forward to hosting you at our super blossom party on the Tuscany Seaside!

A BIT OF HISTORY
The tower named Torre Balilla, Torre Fiat or Torre Marina, was built in 1933, in just 90 days and with the work of 1,000 men, commissioned by Giovanni Agnelli (owner of the FIAT industry) and created on a project by Vittorio Bonadè-Bottino. The tower, which represents a strong visual signal of landscape, was conceived as a giant helix that rotates around the a central well formed by the ramp of stairs. The foundations are based directly on the sand.
Placed in the Apuan pine forest, the complex of the colony was destined to summer holiday of FIAT employees' children. Over time, the Colonia Fiat has not undergone major transformations external. Saved from the bombings of World War II, was used as a military hospital. Between 1991 and 1992 were carried out renovations in order to host the Residence Marina Tower.

REGISTRATION METHOD
Couples: If you are a couple, both of you must fill in the form separately, specifying the name of your partner in the box at the moment of registration (is not possible to do it after!). Couples do not take precedence. It is not possible to change a couple registration to a single registration.
Accommodation: As the marathon is residential, in the registration form you have to choose the type of accommodation you prefer.
Double and twin-bedded rooms will be assigned only to couples.
People registered as single will be automatically confirmed in quadruple rooms and matched with same-sex dancers.
We point out that, except for those who subscribed as couple and share the same room, we can not ensure that the roommate you suggested in the registration form will be the effective one... clearly roommates that we will assign will be of your same-sex.
Change room: If the places in the accommodation you requested are no more available, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with the accommodation that we can offer to you (eg. change from a double to a quadruple room), so pay attention to read carefully our confirmation email before do the payment.
Confirmation: We need two weeks to process all the requests and after this time, you'll receive a message from us telling you whether your registration is confirmed or if you've been put on a waiting list (depending on the number and balance of registrations). The confirmation to participate is strictly personal and therefore cannot be transferred to another person.
PAYMENT METHOD​​
If your registration is confirmed you will be invited to pay the marathon cost. You can attend the event once you have paid the cost and received a confirmation from us. Please consider that if you register as couple but you will pay separately, you will be finally declared "in" only when both payments are received. Payment must be done by bank transfer within 7 days of our registration confirmation. If you do not pay this on time, it causes a lot of extra work for us and so we would really appreciate your co-operation in paying on time. If you have a problem paying on time, please contact us to say when we should expect to receive it or we may cancel your subscription without any warning. Details regarding payment will be given in the confirmation e-mail. Please make sure that you cover all the costs of the bank transfer (if it is a European International one you have to state it explicitly while asking it) as we quoted for the fee a net cost.
