The Tango Weekend Intermediate is a follow up of our beginner weekends. Of course, dancers who learned the basic technique and steps of the Argentine tango in weekly classes are also very welcome to join us. Even more experienced dancers often join our beginner and intermediate weekends to improve their basic technique.
The venue of the weekend is dance centre de Veste in Apeldoorn, which has a very nice dance hall and a bar where we have our lunches and tea/coffee breaks. The surroundings of Apeldoorn are beautiful, with heath and forest. Perfect for a nice weekend together or a longer stay.
If you participate in the weekend, then we assume that you know the beginner technique and steps, or that a quick refreshing at the beginning of the weekend will suffice. If it’s been a long time since you participated in a beginner weekend or course, then it might be better to first participate in a beginner weekend (again). You can also try to refresh your own tango knowledge and skill by dancing a few times at milongas (dance events) before the weekend. A very handy site to get an overview of milongas in the Netherlands is tangokalender.nl. If you select a date and city, it will show you the nearest milongas.
