The next Camp theme is:
contrast shapes the vital line
Balancing contrasts and enjoying moving from one into the other. Nothings is fixed and all is flowing.
Every camp has a central theme as a focus and inspiration to the teachers and the participants. We had many inspiring themes such as:
Music - Stillness - Contact -Contrast - Space- Time - Creativity - Intimacy - Dare- Trust - Play - Pure - Imagine - Change - Balance - Intention - Diversity.
See here the workshop schedule of for next winter camp and the daily program. And all workshops titles last winter camp 2018 just to inspire you. As soon as we have all titles we will share them here too.
We promote musical diversity, which means that our DJ‘s can play almost purely traditional music (90% or more) but they are welcome to play a 50-50% mix and everything in between. We create different evenings with different atmosphere with the different music and as our dancers have a wide preference from trad. to nuevo, everybody can have ‘her/his‘ favorite musical night.
If we have the chance we invite professional orchestras to play. We had often live music by Beltango Quinteto (Serbia), El Cachivache (Argentina), Tango Harmony Orchestra (Hungary).
This fresh, energic band from Buenos Aires band has strong traditional roots however spiced up with own jazzy tunes and many own compositions.
Their goal is to play the most danceable music and keep the floor packed :). Over the last two years - since living in Europe - they visited more than 20 countries and about 10 000 dancers enjoyed and danced to their music. (just as we did when met them and has ‘fallen in love‘ with their music directly!)
At the camp we offer 12 to 15 workshops a day for you free to choose. We ask the teachers to be inspired by the camp theme. This way we get often the most refreshing or magical workshops. We really want the camp to be a social event. So we encourage you to take classes and dance with many different partners. Teachers will invite you to swap partners at the workshops, but only if you like.
We will help you to find partners during the day and evening. We even have a wall with photos of each participant so you easily can identify partners you are looking for.
Tango can be more than dancing and having fun. Often we also encounter more ’inner’ issues, such as ’intimacy’, ’how to be playful again’, ’saying yes or no’, ’showing more of yourself’, ’how to change your patterns’, ’becoming more open or receptive’, ’how to take care of yourself in a group’, etc.
Once a day everybody who likes it is coming together and Paras will guide the group through these kind of themes. Often with a smile, sometimes crazy and possibly very touching and more silent. You never know. We like sometimes to come together at the end of the gathering to share in smaller family groups. For many participants these gatherings are one of the highlights of the camp.
Private classes are a great way to work on those things that can boost your dance. Each Tango teacher on the Camp – except Paras and Paul 😥 – is offering privates at a special Camp price.
When the weather allows we go one day to a nearby lake and have an outside milonga in the water.
Just hanging out, making fun, have a workshop in the water and dance in the lake.
A great start & finish of the day with stretching, relaxing, nourishing and softening yoga, contactimpro, Feldenkrais etc. classes.
We will have different bodyworkers offering treatments to you.
Unfortunately Sacha Roberts - Siatsu- is not joining us anymore after 15 camps.
We are glad that Réka Horosz (HU) will offer her magical multi treatments again next camp.
