The Concept behind the Berlin Tango High ... August is prime time in Berlin. The connoisseur enjoys this beautiful season in the city, while tourists trample their feet on overflowing beaches around the world. Sweetening the 'summer in the city', we celebrate the "Berlin Tango High", an alternative Tango Festival, every year in August, since 2007. International teachers are there for you to imbibe Tango at its' fullest. Our studio transforms into a Tango-oasis. It will be open and welcomes everyone during Workshop hours. The bigger one of our two rooms (100sqm) will host the classes, the smaller one (60sqm) will be available for use to practice. Furthermore, the Salon offers couches and chairs to relax and meet like-minded Aficionados. The bar will be open throughout Workshop hours. When Workshops are done we will go out together to dance at Berlins’ nicest and hippest Summer-Milongas. There will also be one or the other ‘Hit&Run’, where we will dance in public places. Up to date information will be posted here.
Information
- frequently asked questions and their answers...
1) Do I have to register? - No. The Berlin Tango High follows a "drop-in" system: registration is not required, you can just come, dance and enjoy.
2) Can I participate as a single dancer? - Yes, singles are welcome. The Berlin Tango High is also a social event and wants to create a space in which meetings are possible and likely to happen. All teachers will encourage partner changes in the Workshops, they use this as an effective pedagogical method; however, no one will be forced to change. Please note: we can not guarantee a partner!
3) What's the level of the Workshops? - Experience has shown that a clear division in Dancelevel and Workshop doesn't work well. There are two possibilities: the teachers follow the assigned level, or they adapt to the level of the majority of the participants. Both ways lead to frustration. Since many years we are discussing this problem, and we think that there is not one solution to it. For the Berlin Tango High Festival it has prooved to use two stages: Fundamentals and Immersion. Both are open for everyone. In the Fundamentals stage teachers introduce their specific view on a theme, which is also very interesting for more advanced dancers. In the Immersion teachers go into an exploration at greater depths, they will discuss technical finesse and more complex coherence and combinations, which is also interesting and can be constructive for not yet experinced dancers.
