Dear friends, hurry up to book up in your calenders the plan for 2025 midsummer, as we are preparing a second edition of tango festivalito in Helsingborg!
Just like other events by our little community, this is expected to be not too big but super cosy, with a lot of good vibes and stories exchanged, new friendships made for life and first of all of course, experience of summer in the pearl of Öresund, city of Helsingborg!

Entrance fee is 110 kr for booking online/early payment until 30/10, and 150 kr if paid at the door, on Saturday 2nd of November.
We meet as usual at our lair Project Pocket, Västra Sandgatan 6. If you come with your non-dancing friends, they will only need to pay for the snacks/drinks. For Milonga visitors snacks are included in the price.

Välkomna till teknikträning, en finslipning för era tango färdigheter! Med början den 24 oktober, torsdagar innan praktikan.
För det är inte komplexitet som avgör huruvida vi är duktiga dansare utan förmåga att lyssna och förmedla.
Drop-in så ingen förbokning eller registrering krävs, en lektion kl 18.30 som övergår till en praktika kl 19.30.
Bra att ha en partner med men om man vill jobba ensam eller förlita sig på universum för förar/följare balans, varmt välkommen även utan!
Kaffe och té finns det men ta med egna snacks om ni vill ha.
För frågor vänligen smsa Tania på 0761665626.
Vi ses på parketten!
PS: Pris: 100 kr för både lektionen och praktika.
Välkomna!

Tillfällen i hamnen.
Kom som du är. Nyfiken icke-alls-dansare, nybörjare eller en avancerad artist: solnedgången och havet är där för alla. Likaså musiken och plastgolvet som vi lägger för lite bättre glid. Arrangemanget är ideellt och anordnas av vem än tillgänglig i gruppen, klart är vi tacksamma för frivilliga bidrag om sådan infinner sig.
Vi siktar på att ha vatten och filtar att sitta på med oss men bäst förberedd är den som tar med eget 
Bra att veta att det inte finns någon toalett i anslutningen till evenemanget.
I fall av regn senast en timme innan evenemanget, flyttas dansen till Project Pocket (15-20 min promenad från Dunkers). Även om det är härligt med doft av salt och söt vatten blandas i luften i hamnen
Vid frågor kontakta gärna Tania på +46761665626.
Tillfällen i parken.
Välkomna till sommarens bästa tillfälle att lära sig tango och möta hösten som en fullfjädrat tangodansare!
Varje onsdag ses vi i Furutorpsparken mellan 18-20. Då kan en nyfiken nybörjare ta en kort lektion eller tips för sitt tango. Gratis och öppet för alla.
Om vädret är ostabil: En halvtimme innan dvs 17.30, går vi efter väderförhållanden. Regnar det så går vi till Project Pocket och dansar där!
Det funkar bra med att ta picknick med sig, eget vatten och dylikt. Toaletten finns inte i direkt anslutning till scenen men nog på gångavstånd.
Underlaget är trä men vi täcker den delvis med plastmatta.
Vid frågor ring gärna till 0761665626.
Dear friends, it is time to sum up our learnings with Cristian in the season of Spring 2024, and dig deeper to understanding and mastering of powerful communication, subtile moves and complex engineering of instant choreography that we didn’t know we were capable of.
Welcome to join the bubble of a tango camp. From Thursday 11 July till Sunday 14th, we take workshops in both dance technique but also body and communication awareness.
Here are the topics of the weekend that Cristian will focus on:
– Meaning of ”to be in tango”: connection with emotions.
– What do you radiate? Courage to be yourself, embracing other one.
– Walk is not equal to Go. Dimensions and directions of movements.
– To find a shared inner peace, listening to each other.
– When embellishments come naturally inside the movement and musicality.
And here is what you can engage yourself into in workshops with Tania:
– Transitions between tango and psychology,
– Elegantly encourage what you like and stop what you don’t,
– Honest talks on tango behaviours.
The event exists on facebook so you can easily follow and share it: https://fb.me/e/22G4vA7oN
