Your tango guides : Fredrik & Patrycja

OUR APPROACH:
Leaders- bring the romance back!

Have you ever used 45 seconds lead a «sandwich»? Come for a class not to study another set of sequences but to bring what sits deeper in you and bring it to the surface! It is not enough to bring a lady to the dance floor to make her happy.
Offer her your time while dancing. So she will be able to explore more tango.
Offer her elastic embrace not a shield. Surprise her not with a new figure but a new dynamic in your dance, a new rhythm. Do less, but with more quality.
Do not take women for granted and do not be a «verdulero» - a dancer who adds to the dance to many «verduras» = vegetables = figures.
Give her space and you will see that she will come closer to you without you holding her to strongly. Lead with care and not with ego. Use 45 seconds to a lead «sandwich» - women, do not like fast food but slow cooking!

Followers- stop following and take control.

Require your space by changing the embrace whenever you need it. Decorate as often as you wish but make sure you own your boleos! Ladies we are responsible for keeping us on our 2 feet. We need to work on our balance to be able to be free in our dance. The guy won’t do the whole job for us. Stop saying « I’m sorry « for your mistakes and see them as challenges. And grow a «tanguera» inside of you - strong, self confident tango dancer who dances whenever she wants not whenever she is asked to do it!

After the classes we will have:
Beginner friendly milonga 20:00 - 20:30
(no cortinas and you dance as many songs together as you like)

Milonga 20:30 - 23:00 with cortinas and traditional music

PRICE:
Kr 350 - class + milonga
Kr 170 milonga

From 3. of March there will be a new course starting "Romantic tango under control - secrets of the leaders". More info coming soon.

ABOUT THE TEACHERS:

I am from Poland and Fredrik is from Sweden but our hearts were crafted in Argentina. We have been dancing since 2012 and will do it forever! Patrycja will " polish" your tango and Fredrik will make it "sweed".

Patrycja lived in Buenos Aires, danced in Europe and now is teaching in Oslo. She is the organizer of Kristiania Tango Festival and Milonga Esa. She will teach you tango and introduce you to Argentinian culture since her heart belongs to Argentina.

Fredrik has danced for many years and not only he teaches very well but he has plenty of tango stories and dry jokes to share with you.

As Fredrik always mentions: we are not a couple, we are just friends who loves teaching tango together! We assume that since u want to dance tango, you like to hug people. For us tango is more about friendship and passion than about drama and being « proper». Join the party and find a tango dancer within you!
