Tango Holidays with Alja & Sašo – winter 2020 edition

Veržej, February 13 – 18, 2020

Tango

almost 8 hours of tango per day
- 4h classes (morning and afternoon)
- 1.5h privapractica (individual work with each participant during practica)
- 2h milonguita (both socializing and practice)
for any dancer
- maximum eight couples: a small group guarantees rapid progress
- for all levels except complete beginners
- also suitable for participants of the previous tango holidays
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.
