  • eternal topic: technique and musicality
    • (deepening) the fundamentals of bodywork and communication technique
    • learning about musical structure of tangos and investigating our own musicality
    • applying the technique to musical interpretation: for us, technique is at the service of musicality!
  • beautiful venue
    • the mansion of Marianum Institute Veržej (also the home of Festivalito Rural)
    • our very own dance hall for classes, practice and milongas

Venue

Tango Holidays take place at the Marianum Institute Veržej, a Salesian cultural, spiritual and handicrafts centre specialized in work with youth. The centre includes a pension (like a hostel, but each room has a bathroom) and several rooms for seminars — most important for us, also a lovely dance hall.

Address: Puščenjakova ulica 1, Veržej, Slovenia; GPS coordinates: 46.5796381,16.156821.

Holidays

    • double or single rooms
    • rooms and meals in the same building as the dance-hall

  • every day enough free time for non-tango activities; so, what can you do in Veržej?
    • relax in a nearby hot springs spa resort Banovci (walking distance!)
