Schedule:
SATURDAY 4 th of JULY
1-2pm
Tango Taster Class Kamila & Raul
Seminar 1 - TANGO: Foundations to play and create - Soothing clarity &
expressive communication.
2-3.30 pm
Part 1) Giros & Sacadas with Intention – Circle, Space, and Dialogue.
Giros and sacadas are explored as a spatial dialogue. The active role of both
partners is central. The focus is on axis, timing, and clear intention so these elements can be connected fluidly, precisely, and
organically.
3.45-5.15pm
Part 2) Rebotes & Changes of Direction – Using Energy in music.
Rebounds and changes of direction as a source of dynamics and musical
expression. We work on absorbing energy, redirecting it linearly or circularly, and applying it in harmony with rhythm and flow.
6-7.30pm
Pre-Milonga-Workshop: MILONGA!
Milonga – Rhythm, playfulness & the floor
Milonga demands presence, grounding, and rhythmic clarity. We work with small
steps, clear directional changes, and conscious articulation to develop security and vitality in this dance style. Get up and enjoy that next Milonga tanda.
7.30pm-midnight Milonga with Performance by Sayaka Higuchi & Joscha Engel, DJ Anthony Cronin
SUNDAY 5th of JULY
Seminar 2: Vals - Flow, circularity and the pulse in your embrace
3-4.30pm
Part 1) Vals – Flow, Circles & Continuity
In tango vals, flowing movement is central. We explore circular movements, dynamics, and musical phrasing to strengthen continuity and connection in the dance. Discover your base rhythm within the flow.
4.45pm-6.15pm
Part 2) Vals & The pulse of the embrace – Connection & dynamic through the whole body
How does connection arise beyond the arms and upper body? This workshop focuses on the pulse of the embrace as the result of two bodies meeting: the whole body creates the embrace. We explore elasticity and compression as a living connection from which clear impulses and a new quality of shared dance emerge. A joyful way to create dynamics in you Vals.
6.30-11pm Milonga with Live Music by Los Perros Viejos & Performance by Kamila Lukaszewicz & Raul Bullon, DJ Olga Sannikova.
Booking in couples is advised, otherwise mixed roles, and changing partners are a possibility.
Private classes can be arranged on Saturday and Sunday morning.
