WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE FESTIVAL
Body awareness & fluidity
Musical Awareness & Expression
Body awareness & fluidity
Our classes will help you understand body movement both as a solo dancer or in a couple, so that you can develop greater confidence and fluidity in your dance.
Control of axis
Musical Awareness & Expression
Body awareness & fluidity
Control of our axis is crucial to a relaxed and connected dance. In times when we can't dance socially, it is important to work on axis & balance. We've designed the festival classes to help you keep your axis strong and movement balanced.
Musical Awareness & Expression
Musical Awareness & Expression
Musical Awareness & Expression
- One of the (few) benefits of current restrictions is the opportunity it gives us to gain a deeper understanding of tango music and we can use this to give greater expression to our dancing.
For Solo Dancers & for Couples

Music with Marcelo - a milonga with a difference
We can never create the intimacy of a milonga online. That's why we've invited Marcelo as our DJ. As well as being a tango DJ on the international festival circuit, he is also a tango radio DJ who will pick music that you'll love to listen too as much as to dance to.
Conversation & Connection

Throughout the festival there'll be opportunities to chat, both with the teachers and each other. And during the evening's music with Marcelo, instead of conventional Cortinas, we'll have snippets of tango knowledge from the teachers and a chance to talk to each other.
