Big Sky Summer Meetup – With Tomás
Missoula 2026 • July 3rd-6th

Stay tuned, more info coming! Save the Date!

A Community-Centered Approach

Our summer event this year will offer a different tango experience. We will focus on community, fostering connections between dancers, and creating a welcoming environment. The weekend will have no performances or galas. We want to put social dancing at the center.

Throughout our workshops, we will integrate a team of tango facilitators who will provide support to all participants. This approach aligns with our commitment to community building and inclusion.

Every workshop will have something for dancers at all levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. This is to encourage community integration with mutual support among participants. We look forward to welcoming you at Big Summer Sky with Tomás.
