Tango Monterey Bay Marathon is designed for experienced social dancers who feel comfortable navigating a crowded dance floor. There are no formal auditions; however, participants are expected to have solid social dance experience and good floor awareness.

No. This is a dance-focused marathon, not a festival. There are no classes or workshops—just dancing, music, and community.

There is no strict dress code. We recommend comfortable, elegant tango attire and shoes suitable for long hours of dancing. Please be mindful of personal hygiene for everyone’s comfort. On select evenings, we will host themed nights. Participation is optional and meant to add a playful, festive touch—feel free to interpret the themes in your own way.

Access to the dance floor and marathon spaces is limited to registered participants only. This helps us maintain a safe and comfortable environment.

We aim to create a balanced and inclusive environment, though exact balance cannot be guaranteed.

No. Activities such as whale watching, hiking, or wine tasting are optional and not included in the marathon pass. Details will be shared separately.

All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by the event organizers. Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your situation.
