Venue
Tango Holidays take place at the Marianum Institute Veržej, a Salesian cultural, spiritual and handicrafts centre specialized in work with youth. The centre includes a pension (like a hostel, but each room has a bathroom) and several rooms for seminars — most important for us, also a lovely dance hall.
Address: Puščenjakova ulica 1, Veržej, Slovenia; GPS coordinates: 46.5796381,16.156821.
Holidays
- half-board accommodation

- rooms and meals in the same building as the dance-hall
