Tango Fortuna Helsingborg

Survivor weekend is the concept of a dancing marathon loaded with learning and challenges, from physical resilience to stress management and issues of self-appreciation, a roll-a-coaster of emotional states and human interactions. If you read this, you are probably one of us, master of survival all that 🙂

Welcome to another weekend full of tango: wonderful meetings and intense learning!

We start with a potluck/knytis at the regular 2nd Friday milonga which takes place on, well, Friday 10/5 at 19.00-23.00. The cost is either a contribution to the table: a dish for a few people, or a SEK 150/100 fee (respectively non-members and members of Tango Fortuna, Tangorama, Tango in Elsinore or Project Pocket).
Then it gets hot in the shoes and head.

For the third time we have a priviledge to welcome Cristian Petitto with a non-conventional but efficient teaching style, as he reveals secrets of techniques and key elements for us.

As Cristian arrives already on Friday there is a chance to book a private class with him that day, please contact us for more details!

This time we address a challenge of continuity, to prove and train that managing the flow has common principles in all kinds of tango, including milonga and wals. So the topic of the weekend 11-12/4 is:

The Seamless Flow:from continuity of interactions in vals to change of speed in milonga.

The schedule loooks like following (workshops time include a break)

See you!

Det är så himla kul med allt flera som träder in i den fascinerande världen av tango! Det är flera kurser på gång, genomförda och planerade.
För er som hade precis gått en kurs: de första par månader är värda flera år av dans! Att stanna kvar i regelbundet övning ger avkastning direkt. Att inte glömma vad man precis hade lärt sig, är mycket pengar sparade på nya workshops.

För er som är med i kurs just nu: passa på att öva det ni har lärt er innan detaljerna suddats ut från minnet, det är alltid detaljer (!) som avgör resultat, och det är alltid bra att kunna fråga läraren vid nästa kurstillfälle om vad som inte funkade och varför.

För er som bara funderar att gå (eller inte gå) en kurs. Det är kul, roligt och fascinerande att kunna träffa människor som redan är hopplöst beroende av tango, höra deras historier och råd. Tango är framförallt socialt, men också terapeutiskt och meditativt. Alla har sin väg dit. Vilken är din ingång?

Torsdagar mellan 19.00-22.00 har vi praktikor. Behöver ni komma in tidigare, bara hör av er. Är ni medlemmar i föreningen kan ni få tillgång till nyckeln tidigare och passa på att öva innan anda droppar in.

Pris för praktikan är 50 kr, te och kaffe brukar finnas och det är alltid välkommet med att ta med sig middag/snacks, för egen eller delad förtäring.

We are happy to welcome back our friend and colleague, Cristian Petitto from Argentina/Spain!
As always with our survival weekends, we target ultimate secrets or techniques, details of the devil that release free, comfortable and creative use of various elements, by both partners.

This time we deconstruct block chains… no 🙂 but chain interactions with high dynamics in close embrace and mutual execution: ganchos, barridas, sacadas. How to remain essential stability, radiate sense of safety and comfort and be as adventurous in close embrace as in vivid and wide tango nuevo performances? How simply not to fall and not to stress when legs of the partners are swirling around each other and musicality pushes the limits.

Welcome to join the 4 workshops that will take place on the weekend of 23-24 March, at Project Pocket (Västra Sandgatan 6, inside the block). This time we put the program in a ruthless but efficient-learning way, with as much impact on your skills as possible.

For this season, we have planned following:

Thursdays: Practicas between 19.00 – 22.00. Any level, also curious friends are welcome to join. There is a projector if you need to see some videos on a bigger screen, and we are democratic about the music choices 🙂 There ususally is coffee and tea available but if not, you are welcome to bring your own food and drink and have a smooth transfer from work to rest. Price: 50 SEK for members of Tango Fortuna and 70 for everyone else.

Fridays: Once a month, we hold a milonga! More specific 2nd Friday of each month, until May. Entrance fee is 70 SEK for members, 100 SEK for the others.

Course To-Be-Continued: for those who had beginners lessons last season, we reserve time on Sundays 16.00 – 18.00, sets of 4 lessons with a start on 11 of February. Price is 500 kr per person for all 4 occasions and we start a group if at least 4 persons registered for the same set.

Beginners course: also Sundays, right after the continuation course: between 18.00 and 20.00, all curious beginners are welcome to join the club! Family, cult, labyrinth… we all find different highly personal thrills in tango.

Private lessons: as a present to someone, a group activity with more or less reflexive depth or just a treat to yourself. Price is 300 kr/person and an intensive lesson goes as long as you can keep up the concentration (which is seldom beyond 1,5 hour).

Yes! It is a right time to start your tango journey, if you think that best learning to swim is in the storm!
