Our programme

For us, Tango on holiday means: 20 hours, and when in conjunction with a cultural city programme, workshops comprising 12 hours. Because switching off and recuperating is one aspect, learning something new is the other. Naturally in beautiful and interesting surroundings, and with lovely people and good teachers.

Our holidays are designed in such a way that they offer sufficient space for individual arrangements, besides dancing together and having meals as a group. We offer travel brochures on site, make available country and hiking maps on a loan basis and will gladly provide you with many useful tips.

The position, facilities and style of the hotels make for a perfect framework. Our teachers always enjoy the holiday week tremendously themselves, and it is very important to them that their students take home with them good progress in terms of their dancing and wonderful memories of a relaxing yet intensive dancing session.

Our programme 2012

In 2012 our classes in holiday courses remain - mostly - unchanged at 20 hours. And: We offer again a city tour to Buenos Aires. New is a holiday with moduls and two teachers in winter in the middle of Switzerland and a course with only 12 hours of classes in autumn. We’ve provided an overview of themes, teachers, hotels, prices and dance levels for you.
