💜🌸 SAVE THE DATE! 🌸💜

Friday, December 6th — from 7:50 PM

A dance social interlacing TANGO and CONTACT-IMPROVISATION dance, preceded by an introduction to both dances.
(also any slow-beat dance are welcome, like zouk, blues, fusion, solo dancing)

Dear friends! After Berlin, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Paris and more, join here in the US this unique meeting of 2 dance communities. We are creating and inventing together new artistic partner dance spaces.

Tango and Contact are a like wine and cheese: If you would mix it together you’d get an unappetizing paste, but tasting a little bit of one after the other is a wonderful alchemy. They are the only 2 partner dances in the world without a fixed rhythmic pattern. We’re inventing a freer and more authentically improvised way of dancing, embracing the true spirits of tango, and CI, to make it more inclusive and exciting for everyone.

🍃 Dear tango dancers: Contact-improvisation dance will bring a new philosophy/energy in your tango. And releasing during the contact-dance moments interlacing between the Tango moments will liberates unique energies in your dance.

🍃 Dear contact dancers: You are by definition the best tango students ever. With your contact dance skills you will be surprised how Tango is just a very special way to dance contact. And it will bring you new mouvement inspirations in your contact-dance.

🍃 New to both tango and contact? You’re warmly welcome to join us! Our fluid dance methods will help you learn both styles super quickly and enjoyably!
