We enjoy for the second time a complete feeling in the midst of nature just for ourselves, diving deep and with ease into Tango, Contact, and ContactTango. Barnin is surrounded by meadows and forests- There is a private lake space, a fire place and sauna. We can dance the warm summer nights outside, on the open-air dance floor under the starry sky. Nature and dance can connect with the lightness of summer. The group size of no more than 40 participants creates a relaxed and familial atmosphere, providing space for us to deeply engage in dance and exchange. The festival focuses on promoting lively exchanges about Contact Improvisation, Tango, and ContacTango. In addition to the annually changing international highly experienced ContacTango teachers who share their diverse influences, there is ample space to engage intensively with a group of wonderful people- We create connections, experiment, cuddle, play, explore body awareness, and flow together. The festival offers space for dancers of all levels to experience the fusion of Tango Argentino and Contact Improvisation, finding joy, intensity, and freedom in this symbiosis. *FULL PACKAGE:* 6 days of classes, research, jamilongas, exchange etc plus mostly organic food Tuesday evening -Sunday lunch Early Bird till June 5th 515,-€ after 555,-€ plus Hotel room 35,-€ – 60,- €/night.
