Please welcome our friend Łukasz from Queer Tango Warsaw who is coming to Copenhagen and will be holding a workshop on tango and connection. Please send us an email if you want to participate so you can get info about access (code for the gate), changes etc.:

Have you ever heard that the most important thing in tango is contact? If yes… great, because you already know how important it is. If not… it’s time to find out.

Contact is not only the most crucial part of tango, but also the most complex one. It includes contact with yourself, contact with your body, and even… we could say that to truly enter into contact, we need to reach a special place in our mind.

Don’t worry — this won’t be some kind of new age session. It will be a good old tango class… but maybe approached from a slightly different side.
We’ll go there step by step: moving through ourselves, down to the floor, up to the sky — and then… we’ll reach the final element where tango truly happens: contact with our partner.

The workshop will last 3 hours, with a 15-minute break during which you can rest — and I’ll tell you a bit about our queer tango meetings in Warsaw. Maybe one day you’ll decide to join us there.

A few words about me:

In 2014, I went to Buenos Aires, where I realized that besides leading, I also love following in tango. I discovered that this role feels more natural and intuitive for me. This was my way to learn how to lead.

Thanks to contact improvisation, I became aware of how important experimentation and physical experience are in the process of learning movement. I like to break things down into their elements, examine them, and then put them back together — consciously. This applies to the body and to movement as well.

I believe that before we start straightening, stretching, and activating the body, we should first find ourselves within the body. That’s when we can start searching for tango — for me, in its most beautiful form. In comfort and naturalness, a certain kind of beauty is born — and that’s the beauty I admire the most.
