I can´t wait to meet and dance with you and the fabolous crew! We will have so much fun!
I already caught Mike Godyla as Dj for Saturday Night Jamilonga - and more will follow.

This year we offer you Workshops with 10 international teachers. - for some details and the TIMETABLE please scroll down.

All of the teachers are familiar with Contact Improvisation and Tango - partly more specialised in Tango and partly rooted deeply in contact Improvisation or the fusion. All of them provide a deep wisdom in movement and body language. We have teachers trained in Somatics like Feldenkrais and Body-Mind Centering ® as well as Authentic Movement, Qi Gong, Contemporary Dance, Clowning and more.
All this knowlegde will support ContacTango, find joy in our dance and our community.

Luckily we can offer the same service as the other years and provide some (limited) accomodations. See below.
