On warm summer evenings Finns gather to dance waltz, humppa,
jenkka and tango in the dance pavilions located in the forests of
Finland. Tango dancing has had a long tradition in Finland ever
since it arrived in the 1920s and after Argentina, Finland is the
biggest tango dancing country in the world.
