Tango Tangk Weekend Workshops.
In a beautiful
setting on the edge of the New Forest, Hampshire, passers by
will hear the sad cry of the bandoneon as tango music is played
from noon to midnight.
The Tango Tangk
concept is a weekend full of tango - a mix of private lessons,
workshops, free dancing, shared meals and an evening milonga
with spontaneous live music, as musicians who dance share their
love of tango with us. As well as dancing, there is plenty of
time and space to sit and chat, share tango thoughts, take a
nap between workshops, prepare shared meals and eat together.
It is a wonderful celebration of dance and friendship.
What
does a Tango Tangk weekend offer?
A weekend with 30 hours
of tango activities, including private lessons, dance, rhythm
and music workshops, practicas, shared meal-times and social
dancing every evening.
Previous Tangks have received much acclaim from dancers who came from all over the UK plus
some dancers from abroad! The event offers tangueros
a chance to immerse themselves physically, mentally and socially
in the dance. In order to
get the most out of workshops, dancers booking this weekend are
expected to have reached a minimum standard of balanced and symetrical
individual and partnered giros. For dancers with less experience we offer
Tango
Toolkit weekends
designed specifically for beginners to fast track their dance
skills.
At a Tangk, you can experience a variety of tango workshops and
private lessons by visiting maestros. Take a look a photos of previous Tango Tangks.

destroy the line of dance and inhibit improvisation and creativity.
