Levels
Level descriptions
The camp's beginner course is taught by Seita Keloluoto & Ari Sirén, and the double role group is taught by Malin Backström & Saana Kalliokoski. The other teacher couples, Maria & Pasi Laurén, Daniel Valenzuela & Anaïs Virenque and Luis Rojas & Meeri Friman, will rotate at the classes for other level groups (intermediate, intermediate, and advanced), so that each couple will have 1–2 lessons for each level group. To help you choose your level for registration, please read the descriptions of the different levels on this page.
Beginners
You have not been dancing Argentine tango before or possibly have attended some beginner courses, but it all still feels new. You are coming to get a good basis to build further learning of this dance.
Improvers
You have been dancing Argentine tango for a while already. You are proficient in the basic techniques (posture, walking, use of the core), the basic elements of the dance and your own balance. You have already tried dancing in milongas with various partners.
Intermediate
You have been practicing Argentine tango regularly for at least a couple of years. You are already confident in your own balance and you're starting to develop a mutual balance with your partner too. You hear and can dance to the rhythm and are beginning to notice and express the various music styles. As a leader you are able to wait for your follower to complete their movement before moving on yourself. You understand the difference between close and open embrace and can easily use either. You go to milongas actively and are able to dance with different types of partners with confidence.
Advanced
You are already an experienced Argentine tango dancer – we recommend at least four/five years of active dancing experience. You have mastered the basic techniques. You can keep your balance as an individual as well as in a couple and do that also in the more complex elements of tango. You are able to express the various music styles with different dance techniques and are longing for demanding exercises to develop your skills even further.
Double role group
You practice actively both dance roles in Argentine tango and are able to dance as a leader and as a follower with different partners. The excercises in this group will offer challenge for those who have danced for a long time in both roles but as everyone may use the movement repertoire they already have, also less experienced two-role dancers are welcome to join. So you don't need to be any master yet – the most important thing is a true desire to practice and develop you dance in both of the roles.
