Summer tango camp
4.-6.8.2023 Solvalla, Nuuksio
Welcome to the 20th Summer Tango Camp organised by Amigos del Tango, in Solvalla, Espoo 4.-6.8.2023! 🌿 The Summer Tango Camp is meant for dancers of Argentine tango at all levels, including beginners. We arrange workshops at four levels: beginner, improver, intermediate and advanced. For the first time, this year there will also be a workshop group for double role dancers. 🌿 You're not dancing tango yet? No worries! On Saturday and Sunday we offer a full beginners course on Argentine tango with an introduction lesson on how to dance in a milonga – this is a great way to start this wonderful hobby. Welcome to join! The beginners' course is taught by Seita Keloluoto & Ari Sirén. 🌿 The teachers for the improvers, intermediate and advanced classes this year are Nina Krook & Alejandro Herlan, Carina Quiroga & Arttu Artkoski and a third teacher couple that will be announced soon. 🌿 The double role group is taken care of by Andrea Ehses & Sandra Hoyer from Germany. The teaching is in English. 🌿 You can register at the camp either with a partner or alone. If you register alone, your spot at the camp will be confirmed as soon as there's a suitable partner available among the other registered participants. In the double role group you register without a partner. At all classes there'll be a strong recommendation to change partners but naturally you can also practice with your own partner if you wish so. 🌿 You can join the camp either with a Full Pass that includes workshops (1 x 60 min and 4 x 75 min), milongas, sauna sessions, meals and accommodation, or with a Camp Pass that includes the same but without accommodation and breakfasts. You can of course attend only the milongas if you like! 🌿 There will be four milongas: evening milongas on Friday and Saturday at Solvalla hall and day milongas on Saturday and Sunday at Nature Centre’s Haltia hall, with a scenic window overlooking lake Pitkäjärvi. Come and enjoy wonderful summer days full of tango, surrounded by forests and lakes! Dj's will be announced soon. 🌿 This year we will fully enjoy Solvalla’s fine lakeside saunas: both morning and evening sauna sessions are available for camp participants on Saturday and Sunday. Due to the limited size of the saunas they are only available for participants attending the workshops, teachers plus camp volunteers. 🌿 With the exceptions of the beginner course and milongas, participation on the camp requires a membership of Amigos del Tango. You can join the AdT association here (annual membership fee 25 €): tango.fi/jaeseneksi 🌿 The camp is produced entirely by volunteers working for free, with the exception of fees for maestros and DJ’s. Join the troops! 🌿 The camp venue is Solvalla Sports Institute located next to lake Pitkäjärvi and Nuuksio National Park. Street address is Nuuksiontie 82, 02820 Espoo. The venue is easily accessible both by public transport (direct bus route 245 / 245A from Espoo centre train station) and by car, and there is plenty of free parking space available! 🌿 The registration ends 21.7. The earlier you book your place, the cheaper it is! NB: milonga passes and single tickets to milongas are sold only at the door, payment by card – no pre sale. All camp infos and the registration form are found at the website: 👉 www.kesaleiri.tango.fi/en Questions? -> kesaleiri@tango.fi See you in Solvalla in August, to celebrate the 20th time this delight is made to happen!
