Tango Summer School is a 4-day intensive learning program (4 days à 3 hours) for intermediate and advanced tango dancers which takes place during Summer Tango Festival Heidelberg.

With our Summer School we want to give tango dancers who cannot attend our monthly Seminars the chance to work with us during a longer period of time intensively. Of course, the Summer School is also open to local tango dancers.

The focus of this year’s Summer School lies on dynamic dancing in Milonguero and Nuevo Style. We will deal with dynamic closed embrace, Milonguero embrace, open style and beyond. Moreover, will translate these to both traditional tangos and Neo/Non-tangos.

Summer School follows an integrated approach to tango: We look at a topic from different perspectives, i. e. musicality, technique, connection, aesthetics. We will give you plenty of material, well-founded information and concrete personal feedback – all of which is based on more than 30 years of tango expertise and teaching experience. With this approach we want to enable you to reach a long-lasting effect on the quality of your dance.
