Tango Tangk tango weekends - a celebration of tango dance and friendship

"I have seen the dance being used as a means of communication between soul and soul - to express what is too deep, too fine for words."

Ruth St Denis

Milongas every night - no need to book - just turn up for the evening activities at 8pm. Please note we are unable to admit any casual callers during the day.

"The philosopher's soul dwells in his head; the poet's soul dwells in his heart; the singer's in his throat; but the soul of a dancer inhabits all his body."

Kalil Gibran

"The most wasted day is that in which you have not danced, nor laughed"

ARE YOU NEW TO TANGO TANGK? Please note that Tango Tangks are NOT suitable learning environments for beginners and improvers. Tangk workshops assume dancers have achieved these dance skills. Tango Tangks now start with registration for dancers we don't know. This will include an assessment of your ability to dance the minimum dance skills. If you have not reached the required minimum standard, we will ask you NOT to change partners during the weekend.
1	Advanced booking. For couples wanting to book all 3 days, booking opens a month before the event. Watch this website for exact dates. Email Debbie with your requirements - she will give you a link for payment online. We have made these places available for people travelling from outside the area who want to make a weekend of it. A list of local B&Bs is available online.
2	General Booking. All remaining places are made available when general booking opens. These places can be booked by couples OR individuals on a daily basis (you do NOT need to book all three days). See TT19 programme for daily formats.
3	Payment can be made online but only after sending your requirements to Debbie via email. To make the workshops as effective and enjoyable as possible we need an equal number of men and women. Dancers booking without a partner are placed on a waiting list until we have a partner to allocate to them.
4	Payment for general bookings can be made in a number of ways - we will advise you of these methods by return email when we confirm your place. Payment is due as soon as your place is confirmed.

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.
