Editorial Guidelines

(Last updated 12 September 2026)

Welcome to TangoEvents AU! Our aim is to provide a high-quality platform for tango organisers and schools to promote their events with clarity and consistency. These Editorial Guidelines are designed to ensure that our website remains a valuable and reliable resource for the Argentine Tango community.

Who is Eligible?

All Argentine Tango schools and organisers are welcome to submit their events to our website. To help ensure the integrity of our platform, we require basic identity or registration information to be provided or otherwise established with our administrators.

An ABN, ABR record, incorporated association registration, registered business name, or another recognised state or national registration may be accepted as evidence of organiser identity. The registered or publicly identifiable name should demonstrate a reasonable connection with the organising school, association, business or entity.

Sole trader or personal ABNs may be accepted where there is a reasonable and publicly identifiable connection between the individual and the relevant Tango school, organiser or event.

Please note that an event must be identifiable as an Argentine Tango event involving Tango music, structure and dancing, including traditional and nuevo Tango.

Our 'Free Listing' service is available to all eligible participants.
Contact us for more information about our other paid services.

Approval & Publishing

All submitted events are subject to review by the TangoEvents AU Administrator. Once approved, events will be published promptly on our website calendars. While our goal is to expedite this process, please allow up to 3 business days for approval and posting.

Submission of an event does not guarantee publication. TangoEvents AU may request clarification, supporting information or amendments before approving a listing.

TangoEvents AU retains editorial control over all material published on its website and calendars.

Updates to Events

All events must be kept accurate and up to date. TangoEvents AU may periodically contact organisers and ask them to review or confirm their published events.

To request changes, simply contact us using our contact form or email us at admin@tangoevents.au.

Organisers should advise us as soon as reasonably possible of cancellations, postponements, venue changes, changes of date or time, significant changes to prices or booking arrangements, changes of teachers or performers, or any other information likely to affect a person’s decision to attend.

Repeated failure to provide necessary updates, or failure to respond to reasonable requests to verify event information, may result in the temporary suspension or removal of affected events.

Sponsored Events/Paid Advertisement

Paid or sponsored content remains subject to editorial approval and our Terms & Conditions. Payment does not guarantee acceptance of particular wording, graphics or promotional material.

Contact us for more information about our current advertising and promotional services.

Event Categories

Tango events posted on our website are categorised into two groups. The first is for Regular Events, such as Milongas, Practicas, classes and workshops. The second is dedicated to Special Events, such as musical performances, festivals and visits by internationally recognised maestros. The requirements and acceptance criteria for each category are presented below.

Regular Event Guidelines

What can be posted?

Under this category, we allow regular Argentine Tango events to be posted, including:

• Milongas;
• Practicas; and
• Classes and workshops.

These events are posted on our regular calendars for cities and states throughout Australia.

Posting Requirements

For the ‘Free Listing’ service, the post must include:

• Event title: normally limited to 30 characters, using appropriate title case and subject to editorial approval.
• Event description: limited to approximately 900 characters in plain text only. Hyperlinks, graphics, images, emoticons, venue details, organiser details, references to private lessons, unrelated commercial promotion or other information duplicated elsewhere in the listing are not permitted within this section. Blank lines should not be used in the event details section.
• Organiser details: each organiser profile may contain no more than one telephone number, one email address and one official website address. Social media pages or profiles, including Facebook, Instagram, Linktree and similar services, are not accepted as official organiser website addresses.
• Venue details: a complete and accurate venue address must be provided. A link to its location on Google Maps is generated automatically by our system.
• One event per entry: each submission must represent one individual event only. Do not combine different types of events, such as Workshop + Milonga or Practica + Class, in a single listing. Each workshop, even when part of a series or weekend program, must be listed as a separate entry.

Please ensure that text used in posting your event follows basic English grammar and is clear and easy to understand. Help us maintain the quality and consistency of published events.

We have a dedicated Online Form available for participants to submit their events. To modify existing events, please use our Contact Form or email the required changes to admin@tangoevents.au.

Special Event Guidelines

The Special Event category is reserved for significant Tango-related events that offer unique value to the community. These may include festivals, special themed Milongas, workshops with visiting maestros, musical performances or one-off cultural events that enrich the Argentine Tango landscape in Australia.

To maintain the quality and relevance of listings, all Special Events are subject to editorial review and must meet the general submission standards outlined in these Guidelines.

What can be posted?

To be eligible for posting on the Special Tango Events Page, an event must belong to one of the following categories and satisfy the relevant criteria:

1. Tango Music Performances: Performances substantially or entirely dedicated to Argentine Tango music and providing an authentic and culturally relevant Tango experience.
2. Australian Tango Festivals: Australian festivals should normally span multiple days and include a substantial combination of workshops, Practicas, Milongas, performances or other Argentine Tango activities. Events consisting only of a series of Milongas will not ordinarily be eligible for inclusion under the Special Event category.
3. Visiting Maestros from Argentina: Visiting maestros of recognised professional standing may qualify for Special Event presentation. Particular recognition is given to maestros who have achieved distinction through the Campeonato Mundial de Baile de Tango, including Mundial champions, runners-up or recognised finalists, and maestros formally appointed as official judges of the Mundial. Formal appointment as a Mundial judge is regarded by TangoEvents AU as a significant indicator of recognised professional standing within the international Argentine Tango community. Other internationally recognised maestros may also be considered based on their merit, professional history and contribution to Argentine Tango.

Posting Requirements

1. A Graphic Banner: The banner should contain limited text and have dimensions of approximately 1600px in width and 900px in height, or the same aspect ratio at a higher resolution. The preferred format is PNG or JPG.
2. Event Title: Titles are normally limited to 60 characters and should use clear English. Titles remain subject to approval by the TangoEvents AU Team.
3. Event Details: A concise general description of the event, normally not exceeding approximately 300 characters. Hyperlinks are not permitted within this section. Event details remain subject to editorial approval.
4. Related Activities: All related activities, such as workshops, Practicas and Milongas, should first be created according to the preceding criteria for free listings before the overall event can be included on the Special Tango Events Page.

Additional Editorial Conditions

In addition to the general editorial requirements, the following conditions apply specifically to Special Events:

• TangoEvents AU may prioritise events that align with and support the broader interests of the TangoEvents AU community and the objectives of the Australian Argentine Tango community.
• Where TangoEvents AU or the Association of Tango Dancers NSW Inc. is holding a significant community event, overlapping promotional placements or Special Event submissions for the same locality and date may be subject to additional editorial consideration.
• Editorial discretion will be applied reasonably to ensure that published Special Events contribute positively to the collaborative, inclusive and social nature of the Argentine Tango community.

Preferred Venues and Venue Collaboration

TangoEvents AU and the Association of Tango Dancers NSW Inc. may maintain collaborative relationships with venues that support Argentine Tango activities and the wider Tango community.

Some venues may be identified as preferred venues because of established relationships, negotiated arrangements, community access or other forms of cooperation.

Where TangoEvents AU or the Association assists an organiser with access to, introduction to, booking of or use of a preferred venue, the organiser is expected to:

• comply with the venue’s booking requirements and conditions of hire;
• respect any arrangements communicated by TangoEvents AU or the Association;
• provide accurate information when dealing with the venue;
• use the venue responsibly; and
• avoid conduct that could reasonably damage an established relationship between TangoEvents AU, the Association and the venue.

Organisers should contact TangoEvents AU before making arrangements involving a venue where TangoEvents AU has indicated that an established collaboration or preferred-venue arrangement exists.

Material misuse of a venue arrangement facilitated or supported by TangoEvents AU, significant non-compliance with venue requirements, or conduct that reasonably jeopardises an established venue relationship may result in refusal, suspension or removal of associated event listings.

Where reasonably practicable, TangoEvents AU will contact the organiser and provide an opportunity to address the issue before taking such action. Immediate action may nevertheless be taken where reasonably necessary to protect an established venue relationship or address an urgent issue.

Editorial Review and Editing

TangoEvents AU may make reasonable editorial changes to submitted material without seeking separate approval for minor amendments.

This may include:

• correcting spelling and grammar;
• standardising formatting and capitalisation;
• shortening or clarifying descriptions;
• removing duplicated information;
• selecting or changing event categories;
• standardising organiser or venue names;
• removing inappropriate hyperlinks or contact details;
• adjusting submitted graphics or images; and
• correcting information that is demonstrably inaccurate.

TangoEvents AU will endeavour not to materially change the intended meaning of a submission without a reasonable editorial or compliance reason.

Important Notice

TangoEvents AU hosts Special Milongas and other events throughout the year. These events may occur in Sydney or in other locations. Income generated from these activities helps support the maintenance and development of the TangoEvents AU website and promotes Argentine Tango within the wider dance community.

From time to time, TangoEvents AU may designate particular dates for significant TangoEvents AU or Association activities. Where a significant TangoEvents AU event is scheduled, competing promotional placements or event submissions for the same locality and date may be subject to additional editorial consideration.

Any such decision will be made reasonably, taking into account the nature of the events, existing commitments, the purpose of the calendar and the interests of the wider Tango community.

We strongly value respect and professionalism within the Tango community.

Abusive or threatening communications, harassment, discriminatory or defamatory conduct, deliberate provision of false or misleading information, impersonation, repeated misuse of submission channels, or other conduct that creates an unreasonable risk to TangoEvents AU, its volunteers, venue relationships or the integrity of its calendars will not be tolerated.

Serious or repeated conduct of this kind may result in submissions being declined and existing event listings being suspended or removed.

Please also review our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. These Editorial Guidelines should be read together with our Terms & Conditions. If there is any inconsistency between these Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions, the Terms & Conditions will apply to the extent of that inconsistency.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Thank you for contributing to the TangoEvents AU website and calendars.
