"Duality in movement "
on Naxos island
A recreational vacation
plan based on Tango Argentino music and dancing
Our
Tango Argentino program is mostly aiming to absolut
beginners, but can be adapted to serve dancers with up to two years of experience
as well. Our workshop's structure permits beginners and slightly advanced students
to happily co-exist in the same program, without one group being a burden to the
other.
