Made with Natural Earth · Approximate city locations. Zoom with +/−, then drag to move. Arrow keys move the focused map; Home resets it.
Counts are unique directory listings in each city, including all topics. City counts follow the other directory filters, before city selection; a listing can appear in several cities.
Select or search something above, and results will appear here.
Every listing links to its evidence. A source listing is a starting point — confirm dates, locations, and availability with the organizer.
A BIG WORLD. AN HONEST PICTURE.
Every place
deserves a look.
Directories are the starting point. We then search individual cities in local languages, prioritizing places where the imported records have no matches. Every search and finding is saved for the next pass.

Individual city searches are in progress. No source match does not mean no tango. Search passes can find evidence or leave leads for follow-up; they do not establish that a city has no tango. The index includes settlements and city districts.

BUILT FOR THE EMBRACE
Connection, with context.
A source for every listing.
Names, locations, dates and connections come from public directories, local organizers and individual city searches. Check the source and collection date in each listing.
More than a list of links.
Follow teachers to their workshops, events to their venues, and places to their local communities. A teaching appearance does not imply where someone lives.
A living research project.
We follow directory imports with individual city searches. Search queries, source links and unresolved leads stay in the database. Past event editions remain in the archive.
