4. Sonntag / Monat ​Wir laden dich ein, Tango zu entdecken oder bei uns zu üben, wenn Du schon tanzt - egal, ob Du führen, folgen oder nur eine Rolle ausprobieren willst. Warum TANGO? Tango ist eine soziale und körperliche Aktivität, die uns aus der digitalen Welt in die physische und sinnliche Welt zurückführt wie Yoga oder Tai-Chi, was hilft, die Verbindung zum Boden, zu uns selbst und zum Anderen spüren - für gute Laune, Selbstwirksamkeit, digitales Detox. Und: Musik durch Bewegung auszudrücken, mag fast jede/r. 1️⃣ 18.30 ✨ Technik-Deep-Dive: Wir starten mit Basics. Für Anfänger oder Tänzer, die ihre Technik polieren wollen. 2️⃣ 19:30 💃 Praktika zum Üben für Altes und Neues, mit und ohne Partner. Musik ohne Cortinas. 3️⃣ 21:00 🔄 Circular Moves: Ideen, für Bewegungen, wie sie für das soziale Tanzen mit wenig Platz möglich sind. ✨ Open Role, solo oder mit Partner/in: Wir empfehlen zu wechseln, aber das ist keine Verpflichtung. Wohlfühlen steht im Vordergrund: Einladungen können abgelehnt werden: Hi Google, was ist ein Cabeceo? DE / EN We invite you to discover Tango, whether you want to lead, follow, or simply try out a new role. If you already dance, come by to practice! We embrace the classic Practica spirit: a space to learn from one another. Tango is a social and physical activity that brings us back from the digital world into the physical and the sensory realm. Much like Yoga or Tai Chi, it focuses on our connection to the ground, to ourselves and to one another. And let's face it: expressing music through movement is something almost everyone loves. Your hosts are Davide, Nacho, Pietro and Rafa. ✨ ​Wir freuen uns über einen Beitrag zwischen 5 € und 25 €. Limonade, Bier, Wein sind vorhanden. ​Da unsere Türen nur einmal im Monat öffnen, geben wir gerne Tipps, wo ihr in der Zwischenzeit tanzen und üben könnt. Clase: Rafa Hosts: Davide, Nacho, Rafa
