Workshops and milonga’s in the weekend 

Friday

Workshop 1 Phrasing and Pausing: 19.30 – 20.45  

Changing the dynamics is one of the most important elements of the dance here we’ll focus on clean phrasing and choosing the right moment to pause the lesson will be a well balanced mixture of musicality and technique
If that was difficult to read, it’s because that thought lacks both phrasing and pausing. Let us show you how to create logical and well structured tango sentences.

Level: Intermediate/advanced level

Workshop 2 Quebrada:  21.00 – 22.15 (+ time to practice until 00.00) 

In this lesson we’ll show you one of our favourite figures which also comes in very handy at crowded milongas. Besides great circular energy you’ll also enjoy different starting and exiting steps, and embellishments.

Level: Advanced level

Price: 30 Euro pp per workshop, 2 workshops 50 Euro pp. Max 18 couples.

Saturday 20.00 – 02.00: La Roca DJ Santiago Onel (12 Euro)

Sunday June 19.00 – 23.00 (or a bit longer)  Chill-out/Farewell milonga with show (21.30) by Maja and Marko. DJ Jonas Maria Joma (10 Euro)

Maja Petrović

Maja has been dancing since she was three years old. She has a background in contemporary dance and ballet, as well as latin and ballroom dances. She attended music school for ten years, where she played the piano and flute.

She studied Spanish and German language and literature at the University of Zagreb and worked as language teacher and translator. In Karlsruhe, she worked in different departments of the Center for Art and Media Technology (ZKM).

Marko Miljević

Marko was more into sports and almost went pro in basketball. Instead, he decided to study Electrotechnics and later Physics in which he obtained a degree at the University of Zagreb.

He later continued his education and in 2014 received his PhD in Nanobiotechnology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Since 2010 we live in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Maja and Marko started dancing tango in Zagreb, Croatia in 2002 in a small group of enthusiasts curious about this “new” dance.

Some five years later they began giving regular lessons at the Tango Argentino Zagreb dance school. Their first and most influential teachers were Pablo Rodríguez and Noelia Hurtado.

Later they continued to study with Noelia and Carlitos Espinoza. They also studied with Federico Naveira and Inés Muzzoppapa, Bruno Tombari and Mariangeles Caamaño and Chicho Frumboli and Juana Sepúlveda, among others.

In 2014 they started to work with tango professionally, holding workshops and performing all over Europe (Amsterdam, Minsk, Florence, Karlsruhe, Genova, Budapest, L´Aquila, Freiburg, Treviso, Poreč, Mantova, Halle, Sevilla, Lisbon, Procida, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Reykjavik etc.).

In 2015 they had their debut in North America at Bailongo Tango Festival in Montréal, Canada. 

Now they travel over the whole world giving lessons and shows and they have an extremely popular online channel at Patreon with a huge amount of all kinds of lessons.
