The venue of the intemediate weekend is dance centre the Veste. It is in the city of Apeldoorn, which is surrounded by the most beautiful heath and forests of the Netherlands. The Veste has a big dance hall of 170 m2 with a perfect wooden floor and a cosy small cafe next to the dance floor.
This weekend is a follow up of our beginner weekends. It is, of course, also for dancers who learned the basic technique and steps of the tango elsewhere. Even more experienced dancers often join our intermediate weekends to improve their close embrace technique and to learn to dance some of the basic steps like ocho’s and cortes with more ease.
We start the weekend by a quick refreshing of basic steps, such as the cruzado and ocho’s. If it’s been a long time since you participated in a beginner weekend or beginner course – and if you haven’t danced since then – we advice you to first participate in a beginner weekend again.
Teachers
Jacqueline Kips and René Heeskens
