The Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre, in cooperation with the project partner, the city of Jablonec nad Nysą, invites you to take part 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 initiated by the Bolesławiec and Jablonec communities of ballroom-dance enthusiasts: the “Cafe Tango” Association, the “Tango Bolesławiec” Association, and 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 pairs from Poland and the Czech Republic will take part directly in the workshops. During the monthly meetings, it will be possible for additional people to join the project, and workshop participants may be exchanged, allowing more people to benefit from the classes and avoiding attendance problems caused by unforeseen circumstances (the expected total number of participants is more than 50 people from Poland and the Czech Republic).
At the workshops, an interpreter will be present in each group to ensure that the classes run smoothly. Each workshop will conclude with an evening milonga in the foyer of the Forum cinema: a joint gathering of all the pairs and an opportunity to practise the skills acquired during the classes. Among other things, the milonga makes it possible to practise the techniques and steps learned in the lessons, dance with different partners, and exchange experiences with people with a similar or considerably longer dancing background.
