Tango aux Frontières
This border location reflects the Franco-Belgian spirit of the association - and a love of meeting people and sharing beyond borders.

It all starts with a meeting: Véronique and Grégory ('Greg') Demerville met at a tango ball in Brussels. Passionate dancers, they quickly wanted to bring their home and their passion for Argentine tango together.

Not long after, they settled at the heart of the Lille – Kortrijk – Tournai triangle, in a building with real potential - meaning, a lot of renovation work - right next to the old 'Risquons-Tout' customs post.

Moyens financiers limités, créativité et débrouillardise : l'ancien atelier se mue peu à peu en milonga personnalisée. Aujourd'hui, une terrasse ensoleillée, l'air conditionné et un parquet en chêne posé sur 10 mm de caoutchouc accueillent les danseurs pour de longues soirées avec une ambiance musicale des plus chaleureuses.
