The "XIII. Ball Tango Argentino" in the fantastic atmosphere of the great ballroom of the "Historische Stadthalle" in Wuppertal is one of largest and most popular dance evenings of its kind in Europe and the central event of the year for dancers and "aficionados" of the authentic Argentinian tango. The first Ball took place at Pina Bausch "Tanztheater Wuppertal" 20. anniversary in 1998.

The "XIII. Ball Tango Argentino" forms part of the "Int. Tango Festival Wuppertal", which will be held from 22. to 27 September 2009.

The Wuppertaler Tanztheater of Pina Bausch, many of whose members are tango fans, and the town’s pulsating dance scene have given Wuppertal a title to fame which extends far beyond the region. The "XIII. Ball Tango Argentino" in the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal is the absolute climax of the "Int. Tango Festival Wuppertal".
