Tango Laboratory (daily 6:30 -7:30 p.m.):

With our tango lab, we want to provide a platform for exchanging tango knowledge and ideas. Let's puzzle and practice together! Ask any clever or stupid question and/or explain your own tango concept!

Every evening there is a lab in the main hall. Parallel a body work lab takes place in the small hall - with tango-related topics. 

The lab is free for all camp participants!

Who leads what? Who follows how?
Easy and playful role change. Giving impulses: clear, precise but smooth. Refining perception: permitting a more subtle and enjoying dance. 
Allea Jacta est... les jeux sont joués...:-)

Iyengar-Yoga
Contrary to widespread ideas, Yoga was a soft relaxation practice, Iyengar Yoga is an intense challenge for body and mind. We start with a meditation to collect ourselves, followed by Asanas for outer and inner balance, collecting and connection as well as a flexible body. At the end, we expand our awareness by a relaxing journey through our body arriving completely in our selves.

Chacarera
Argentine Folk Dance No. 1, is danced in pairs face to face, is wonderfully spirited and cheerful, with some hints of flamenco and wild roaring pampa bulls ...                   www.chacarera.de

Partner Massage
Being touched by a person is often very healing and relaxing. Carried by your own awareness for yourself and the other person, too, I, a trained masseur and rebalancer (structured body therapy), will show you how some simple techniques enable you to pamper another person with a high quality of touching. Please bring a matress and a partner ...

Belly-led Tango

Where to put the belly in Tango? 
How can I use it?
And how even enjoy it?...

Cantienica
The Cantienica method is a deep muscular training and structured body work. The deeper muscles are activated by aligning to the optimal posture. Body perception will be refined and flexibility increased.

Led Shimmies
Shimmies are little bottom shakes, which can be used as a nice, playful accent in Tango. If possible the followers should have/wear a scarf of heavy fabric....

Women are Always Right
How do us poor, hard working and considerate men know when our beautiful women dance partners are right? We know they are always right, but how, what, when and by how much?
How do we beautiful women dance the music and tell our handsome partners what we hear and what we are dancing? What can we do to inspire our men partners?
How can we always be right? because we are!

From Earth to Heaven
Starting from the floor level we want to explore the different levels of the (dance)space and its possibilities for movements. Skipping fix combinations of steps and dancing between the heaviness of the floor and the airiness of flying.

Stop & Go
Inserting creative stops with musicality - for one partner or both. What can happen? How can we really dance stops even if the crowded milonga forces us to do them? No matter if luxurious pause, start or exit of playful steps....

Pilates
Pilates, named after its inventor, is a perfect holistic body training including elements of Yoga, Tai Chi, dance and Western endurance sports. Deep muscles can be relaxed, stretched and even improved by using a paticular breathing technique. It's a real 'wake up' for body, mind and soul that also boosts condtion, circulation and body perception.

Feel the Wave
As a Cranio-Sacral therapist I am working with moves that can have only the size of 40 millionth milimeters(less than half the thickness of a sheet of paper!!). We will sharpen our perception merging Tango and Cranio. Ride the wave!!
Anika Mackenrodt & Helge Lüddemann (Oldenburg)
Tactile Tango 
Still thinking or already dancing?

Using body language everybody can immediately grasp the elements Earth, Water, Air and Fire and feel them. Being led by these 'sensoric terms', we can refresh old patterns and find a new balance between stability and flexibility, power and easiness, retard and speed-up, impulsivity and flow.
