Winter Tango is back to where it started, Kulturhuset Banken in Lillehammer. The weekend 7 - 9 March, is all about good music and a great social atmosphere, where everyone will get to dance “a lot with many”. Think of an intimate milonga setting where understated dance movements are more appropriate than high boleos; this event will suit everyone who likes to be able to dance in harmony with the other dancers on the floor. Rather than classes, there are practicas during the day and milongas in the evening, all with music provided by two DJs.
We are so happy to invite Jessica Carlesson from Sweden, and Andreas Gierstorfer from Germany to serve us excellent music!
Sunday we have invited Tigertango - orquesta típica - from Oslo, it will be the third visit to Lillehammer. They play dance music, and will alternate with the DJ, so do not worry, you will be able to dance a lot.
We will organize a nice skiing event for those who like on Friday. We go by bus directly from the train station to Sjusjøen or Nordseter, from there we have a lot of options before we go back by bus, or by ski. If you rather like to practice tango, privat lessons with Nico Botega is possible, only on friday.
It might also be possible to skate on the lake Mjøsa or have fun in the snow: Lillehammer snow park - Olympiaparken
