About this Event
[Locations & Program below]
Ever wondered what’s the magic behind the deep connection everyone talks about in Tango Argentino? Experienced it already and want to recreate it more often?
Join us to discover what makes your tango functional, adaptable, expressive and alive beyond fixed roles and structures.
A Tango Weekend with special guests Irina Jabsa and Guadalupe Santiago from Argentina awaits you to unlock greater freedom in your dance.
We prepared a juicy program for you to enjoy and enhance your Tango in a very special way:
✨ Private lessons
✨ Guided práctica
✨ 4 weekend workshops
✨ And 4 milongas: Performance and live music included!
What makes this Tango Weekend unique:
We'll work with somatic awareness, communication through the embrace, adaptability and shared movement to understand how Tango Argentino fluidity emerges from deep non-verbal listening, grounding and shared balance.
The program is designed for Tango Argentino dancers who want to expand their movement skills while deepening the quality of connection, and Contact Improvisation dancers curious about doorways to a Tango Argentino approach that holds space for freedom and creativity within the embrace.
In cooperation with partner milongas in town, we've crafted a Thursday to Sunday program that can feel like a Festivalito without the exhaustion of running between activities, holding space for relax and resting, socializing, and discovering Vienna if you're visiting us from abroad.
