    Kamila Lukaszewicz brings a multidisciplinary approach as an artist and holistic therapist, rooting Argentine Tango in healthy and sustainable tango principles and artistic expression. She studied Tango extensively in Europe and Buenos Aires since 2007 with renowned masters of the contemporary tango scene, including Dana Frigoli, Eugenia Parrilla, Chicho Frumboli, Julio Balmaceda, Sabrina y Ruben Veliz, Sayaka Higuchi, and Joscha Engel, among many others. Kamila applies a multidisciplinary, holistic, and artistic approach to help dancers find their unique way of dancing, fostering a deeper understanding of the body and movement within tango.

    Raul Bullon, an Argentine passionate about tango culture, honed his skills over a decade in Buenos Aires, learning from esteemed masters such as Daniel Unquilla, Dana Frigoli, Sebastian Achaval, and Jonathan Saavedra, and performing in vibrant milongas. He has been teaching Tango in Dublin since 2022, leading both group and private classes. Raul contributes enthusiasm, precision, and genuine passion to the dance and Tango community.  His teaching approach focuses on giving personalised assistance to students, adapting feedback to individual needs.

"LA MARIPOSA DELUX"

LA MARIPOSA Tango Retreat July Edition
with Sayaka Higuchi & Joscha Engel

Join us for a beautiful day of Tango with community spirit, wonderful music, lovely embrace, and a serene natural environment to inspire, relax, and explore your Tango adventure. 

When: July 4th and 5th 2026 

Time: All Day Event

Location: Cedar Lodge, Longwood, Co. Meath, A83PY95

Spread the word and bring your friends! We can't wait to share this special day with you.

  • The tango of Sayaka Higuchi and Joscha Engel emerges from the immediate resonance between two people in an honest encounter. It is an ongoing dialogue — between two bodies, with the music, and with the space. Resonance reveals itself as the ability to listen and respond in the very moment.

    Their different artistic backgrounds merge into a shared language shaped by presence, clarity, and improvisation. Movement becomes interpretation, relationship, and the visible trace of inner awareness. Silence, change, and openness are as much a part of their dance as precision and energy.

    Internationally, Sayaka Higuchi and Joscha Engel are appreciated for this contemporary and deeply connected interpretation of Argentine Tango. They regularly teach and perform at festivals worldwide and are known for their clear technique for a sensitive, body-aware, and musical approach.

    SATURDAY 4th of JULY

    2-3.30 pm

    Part 1) Giros & Sacadas with Intention – Circle, Space, and Dialogue.

    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.

    6-7.30 pm

    Pre-Milonga-Workshop: MILONGA!

    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.
