Join us to walk the paths of Buenos Aires through its music and dance with many years of history and culture, TANGO.

Argentine Tango first developed in the area of Rio De la Plata in Buenos Aires, emerging different styles from various cultures.

It is an adaptable band with great dynamics and a wide range of repertoire, striving to perform authentic pieces. 
The unique sound of the bandoneon... the interpretation of the musicians, electrifies and excites the audience, spreading the passion and emotion of this music!

Intense character and soul distinguishes the sound of this orchestra.

✻✻✻

So, we will be waiting for you, in a remarkably enjoyable night with a sense from Buenos Aires!

"Στην Αργεντινή του ’40, δεν υπήρχαν χοροδιδασκαλεία για το tango. Υπήρχε μόνο ένας απίστευτα τυπικός τρόπος να μάθει ένας άνδρας να χορεύει.

Όταν λοιπόν ένας νεαρός γοητευόταν από το γυναικείο φύλο, αντιλαμβανόταν πως ο μόνος κοινωνικά αποδεκτός τρόπος να το πλησιάσει, ήταν χορεύοντας tango. Στις αίθουσες χορού, γνωστές και ως milongas, οι άρρενες πλειοψηφούσαν. Έτσι αν κάποιος πήγαινε γνωρίζοντας ελάχιστα, θα απορρίπτονταν εύκολα και η εκάστοτε ντάμα θα επέλεγε έναν επιδέξιο χορευτή.

Πού θα μάθαινε όμως να χορεύει ;

Θα έπρεπε να επισκεφτεί μία practica (πράκτικα), μία καθαρά αντρική εξάσκηση χορού. Για ένα διάστημα μόνο παρακολουθούσε τους έμπειρους χορευτές να χορεύουν. Έπειτα, κάποιος από τους παλαιότερους αποφάσιζε να του δείξει πώς να ακολουθεί, να παίρνει δηλαδή το ρόλο της ντάμας. Έτσι μάθαινε την γραμματική του tango: την τεχνική, που αποτελούσε και αποτελεί τη βάση – πώς στέκεσαι, πώς περπατάς και πώς τα σώματα επικοινωνούν μεταξύ τους."

απόσπασμα από "ο θεσμός της practica" || Tango Almagro

Η practica μας σας περιμένει φέτος στο Arte Libre, στη Στοά Τέχνης του Πολυχώρου Τσαλαπάτα! Ραντεβού κάθε Τετάρτη στις 22:00!

Σας περιμένουμε να εξασκηθούμε, να λύσουμε τις απορίες μας, να χορέψουμε!

Για όσους από εσάς είναι μέλη μας, υπάρχει έκπτωση στο bar με την επίδειξη της κάρτας μέλους!

We would like to invite everyone to live the experience of getting in touch with the advantages of our city

         Volos is located in the heart of Greece. It adorns the central and eastern part of the country, as it is located four hours away from Athens and two hours and a half from Thessaloniki. Because of its geographic location in the cove of Pagasitikos bay, as well as, in conjunction with beautiful mountain Pelion, it is well-known as one of the most beautiful destinations in Greece.

         The greatest asset of our city is, probably, the combination of the sea breeze with the view of the Mountain of Centaurs. There is no doubt that every visitor would love to take a walk in the famous port of Volos, which is surrounded by beautiful cafes and traditional taverns that serve tsipouro, the most popular drink in town. Plenty of them would love to offer some intervals of rest (tango breaks) from the workshops and the happenings of the festival.

You would have the opportunity to organize excursions to the picturesque villages of Portaria and Makrinitsa which are within driving distance of 15 minutes from the city of Volos  (see HERE routes).
