About this Event

To be more PLAYFUL than ever we will have two special guests: The Argentine neotango teacher based in Berlin Gabriela Pereira and the Spring flowers! โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿคฉ 4-6 April at De Uelenspieghel in Uffelte. ๐Ÿ”น Theme: More Playfulness in Neotango After the fantastic Neotango Weekend about Playfulness we will play a little more. We will learn new possibilities and get deeper in the same subject because it was so inspiring and fun! A very important aspect of neotango and tango in general is the possibility of playing. It is being able to make movements, lead or steps that are original, surprising, fun from a visual and/or musical point of view. These also generate connection, motivation and positive emotions between the dance couple. In neotango this possibility is deeply rooted since it is like a playground where we can have fun and experiment. Of course it is important to do these movements with quality, connection, musicality, taking care of the dance line and the space with the other dancers on the dance floor. During the weekend Ezequiel & Gabriela will teach different possibilities of how to play more with neotango in an elegant and musical way. ๐Ÿ”น At the Neotango Weekend you have every day workshops with Ezequiel & Gabriela, every evening neo milongas with the international DJ Eze & guests DJs, every afternoon neotango practicas, delicious food and you also have free time to walk in the forest or to go to the lake. So, come and join us at this very special edition ๐Ÿ’ฅ ---------------------------------------------------------- ๐Ÿ”น The teachers: At this edition we will have the honer to welcome the Argentine neotango teacher Gabriela Pereira!
