Boot Camp

8-10 November, 2024.

Theme: “Shining Stars”

Fellow Tango Devotees,

This Tango Boot Camp is not about mastering steps, but about mastering ourselves! Picture the exhilaration of every dance becoming a mesmerising journey, where your skills and confidence radiate like a shining star, bringing joy not only to yourself but also to your partner.

This course serves as your gateway to unlocking the secrets of personal empowerment on the dance floor. Instead of assigning blame, learn to seize control of the dance dynamic. Discover how your growth as a dancer enriches the partnership experience. It’s about harnessing your potential to lead, to follow, to communicate effortlessly, ensuring every moment is imbued with synergy and magic.

Embrace the thrill of knowing that you have the power to make every dance extraordinary, regardless of who shares the floor with you. This weekend transcends mere steps—it’s about empowering yourself to create unforgettable dance experiences for both you and your partner.

Let’s all light up the dance floor together!

Things to bring:
* Comfortable clothing and shoes.
* A device to record information such as a phone, or pen and paper.
* Water and small snack such as chocolate or nuts, to keep energy levels up for the mind and body.
* A willlingness to mess it up, try gain, and have a laugh in the process.
