In the last 10 years the Argentine
Tango became very popular through all the world. Actually it is danced
in over 70 countries from all latitudes.
Since the visit of the maestro Fransisco Canaro in 1961, the Tango
has had high popularity and reputation among the Japanese people for
the last 40 years. The dance, also loved in Japan, it started 20 years
ago and now is danced all over the country.
In the year 2003, for the first time, the National Television (NHK)
sponsored a 9 weeks tango teaching program inviting exclusively the
ATDA, making the tango boom in all Japan. The ATDA pioneer show TANGO
LIBERTAD, performing for 19 years, also was televised for National
Television in the year 2003-2004. In 2006 a new tango program started,

to take place in the Festival. The competence will have judges not
only from Argentina, but from all over the world, making it a high
