Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre, together with the project partner, the city of Jablonec nad Nysą, invites everyone to participate in Polish-Czech Argentine tango workshops.
Leading Argentine tango instructors in Poland have confirmed their participation in the project. The first classes will begin on the weekend of 18 and 19 March, and the instructors will be: Agnieszka Stach and Tymoteusz Ley.
The project was conceived by the Bolesławiec and Jablonec communities of ballroom-dance enthusiasts: the “Cafe Tango” Association and the “Tango Bolesławiec” Association, as well as people associated with the “Topdance” dance school in Jablonec.
Applications for the project are accepted during “Cafe Tango” classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 20:30 to 21:30 in the dance studio at BOK – MCC. On the Czech side, applications should be sent to: libor.jager@topdance.cz.
Approximately 25 couples from Poland and the Czech Republic will take part directly in the workshops. During the monthly meetings, additional people may join the project, and participants may be exchanged, allowing more people to benefit from the classes and helping avoid attendance problems caused by unforeseen circumstances (the expected total number of participants is more than 50 people from Poland and the Czech Republic).
A translator will be present in each group during the workshops to ensure that the classes run smoothly. Each workshop will end with an evening milonga in the Forum cinema foyer—a joint gathering of all the couples and an opportunity to put the skills acquired during the classes into practice. Among other things, the milonga allows participants to try out the techniques and steps learned in lessons, dance with different partners, and exchange experiences with people who have a similar or considerably greater amount of dance experience.
