Immerse yourself!During one week, we will explore the intricacies of dancing social tango in both roles. We will use simple means but aim for a high quality of movement and a strong bond with our partners and the music. Apart from dancing, we will spend many hours connecting to ourselves, each other and tango in a wonderful setting that will further our holistic approach.
Each morning, we will prepare our bodies with exercises from yoga, spiral dynamics, ballet and other approaches to movement. After some leisure time and a light supper, we will spend the afternoon, working intensively on your tango dance.
A three course menu awaits us in the evening, that will be extended with tango practice, films and discussions about what tango means to us and how we can improve our wellbeing in this beautiful dance.
The participants:
This retreat is for women only, no matter their level of dancing, even beginners. We welcome everyone who is willing to share this week of intense work and bonding.
