 25-31 July – tango Milonguero – Corine and Martin   €495,- (20 hrs of lessons)

The summerweeks are the best opportunities to work deeply on issues that
we take from our dance-experience in Buenos Aires: Our aim is that you
find the subtle complex where we are one-self in the dance, being
sensitive for the partner and moving effortless together in the most
musical way. Experiencing tango in this way is SIMPLY GREAT.
Corine (Amsterdam) and Martin (Bonn/Germany) are teachers of tango in
their hometowns for more then ten years.
They organize regular milongas like "La Bruja" in Amsterdam, "Milonga a
los amigos" in Bonn and "Palais" in Koblenz.
Since the beginning of 2008 Corine and Martin started working together and
are celebrated teachers in the Netherlands and in Germany.
In July 2007 they taught for the first time a tango-holiday-week at Haarlo.

Martin and Corine share their passion for the typical "Buenos Aires way"
of dancing - the "milonguero" style -.
They practised with teachers like Tete Rusconi, Susana Miller, Cacho
Dante, Javier Rodriquez and Geraldine Rojas, Carlos Gavito and Maria
Plazaola, Pablo and Noelia, Andres Laza Moreno and others. Annual visits
to Buenos Aires keep their dancing fresh and provides them with new ideas.

The tango is never just a relation between "leader" and "follower", but
two individuals, that share a moment and a movement. You can create and
experience poetry at the same time because you share the music with
someone else. Being together and enjoying each other, still as two
sovereign persons, is the great gift tango has for us.

Our teaching is always connected to the music, the orchestras of the
40ies, the singers and in general the tango characters of the old times,
their ideas and the stories of their lives. We want you to melt into this
music when you dance, and that you connect with the personalities and the
culture in the background.

And yes! Of course we teach "steps" - and very nice ones, too! With
rhythmical steps we dance to orchestras like D'Arienzo, Biagi or
Rodriguez, with softer and slower ones to Pugliese, D'Agostino or Caló.
But of course we mix them quite often as well. Nice steps make us feel
light and easy when we dance, they make us fly, even when we pause.

This is the poetry of tango: being free and together, melting into the
music and feeling you FLY!

We hope to see you in "Erve Veldink", the place to be to learn and enjoy
tango!

The tangoweek takes place from 25th of july till the 31st of july, 10 lessons of 2 hours.
Teachers: Corine Groenewegen and Martin Ottmers.
