# Tango Wien

> Argentine tango community calendar for Vienna, Austria. Lists milongas, practicas, courses, workshops, concerts, festivals, and the people behind them. Primary content language is German; URLs use German slugs (e.g. `/veranstaltung/{slug}`, `/veranstalter/{slug}`). Hosted at https://tango-wien.at.

Tango Wien is a non-commercial community platform maintained by the Vienna tango scene. Events are submitted by approved local organizers — schools, milonga hosts, festival producers, and visiting maestros — and curated for accuracy. Every public event, organizer, venue and person page ships rich Schema.org structured data: `DanceEvent` with offers, organizer, location and performers; `EventSeries` with weekly occurrences; `Organization`, `LocalBusiness`, `Place`, `Person`, `CollectionPage` + `ItemList`, `BreadcrumbList`, and `FAQPage` where applicable. Listing pages emit `CollectionPage` + `ItemList` so they are eligible for Google's event-carousel rich result.
