Beltango quinteto was founded in Belgrade, Serbia in 1998, by professor, bandoneonist, and composer Aleksandar Nikolic.
Beltango quinteto presents all abundance of the tango repertoire, so that, apart from traditional tango numbers, as well as compositions of tango-nuevo trend of Astor Piazzolla and modern tango, it also includes its own compositions from „Balkango“ opus.
Depending on the possibilities and requirements of a specific stage, Beltango quinteto is equally successful in performing on large concert podiums, symphonic halls, theater stages , chamber halls, tango and jazz events, as well as in other exclusive halls, where, the spirit of tango revives.
They played with great success at many international festivals and in famous concert halls and theatres, around 1.200 concerts in many different countries: Argentina, Germany, France, Sweden, Canada, China, Vietnam, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Malta, Austria, Holland, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechien, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Portugal, Lithuania ...
Beltango quinteto is the only tango orchestra from Europe which is invited by Ministry of culture of Buenos Aires to perform at most prestigious „World Tango Festival – Buenos Aires 2007“.
Originally from Argentina, now based in Madrid, Mariano's Tango style is characterized by creativeness expressiveness and power of dance. Together with Alejandra, their unique dance as a couple is based on a foundation of ballet, modern dance and jazz. In addition to their very recognizable style, they bring that special something every time they come out on stage. You can be sure to be taken on a magical journey unlike anything you have ever seen before.
Extraordinary pair of dancers.
Passionate and expressive, they explore all the possibilities of Tango and are a contemporary inspiration for the entire tango community all over the World, with its elegant and vibrant approach.
Maurizio Ghella and Martin Maldonado are teachers, choreographers and artists who through technique are looking for expressive interpretation, dance and - consequently - the "excuse" to dance feelings.
As performers they want to captivate the audience by bringing them into their own inner world in the couple, sharing with them every emotion generated in their work. Sometimes with a deep sad feeling, sometimes with a playful game where the most important thing is to play together allowing people to be part of it.
Santiago is an Argentine tango dancer, teacher and choreographer with over 25 years of professional experience. He has shared the stage with the greatest artists of the genre and has performed around the world (Japan, India, Argentina, Russia, Europe,…) His dance is characterized by elegance, creativity and musicality. His pedagogy revolves around musicality, technique and communication. He participates in the biggest festivals in Europe and in the creation of several shows.

High energy mixed with romantic and melodic tandas. Always with the dancers in mind and making the wave continue the entire evening.
Playing with Vinyl records is an amazing experience for the dancers, who not only can feel and hear the difference in sound. The vibrating sound of the needle, makes it more like a live music experience. Anything can happen since the needle on a turntable can jump!
A Tango aficionado with a penchant for old technology.
From historic vehicles to jukebox and record player - the main thing is the analog rotation …
Dieter likes to share his passion for tango music - as a dancer on the dance floor and as a DJ at the turntable.
DJ Le pera …pulsating and melodic….conected to de dance floor, offering a nice flow with orchestras from 40s to today.

DJ EL FAMOSO - Dragan Mikic has been a keen and passionate collector and researcher of tango music for the past 25 years. As a tanguero, milonga organiser and a DJ, he uses the music he plays as a tool in creating the tango environment and atmosphere that builds up the energy of the dancers and inspires them to express their interpretation of music on the dance floor. His versatile repertoire ranges from 20′s and 50′s tango to modern orchestras with pronounced danceable rhythms.
Thomas Lotte and Alex Beltango are brothers at heart. Since 10 years they spent so many events together in Germany and in Rovinj/ Croatia.
Even more they are happy to showcase all night events at Beltango & Friends Festival together, side by side !!!
ETHNO VILLAGE STANISICI is located in the heart of Balkan, out of the present time and space, it takes us back to our ancestors and nature and awakens an admiration towards simplicity of ancient lifestyle. By listening to the burbling of the streams and churning of the water mill this is a perfect spot where one relaxes the eyes and soul and awakens its own wisdom and nobility.
Location near to the river Drina, and to the meeting point of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia offer us a perfect place to make huge tango embrace for all of us: local people, tango people from Balkan region and a lot of international guests.
Beside the tango you can expect vacation and pure relaxation in beautiful LEONIDA WELLNESS & SPA.
