Attention: Workshops WS-8 "Barridas y tomadas", WS-12/WS-21 "Milonga II", WS-24 "Vals II", WS-19 "Volcadas", WS-20 "Sacadas" and WS-29 "Colgadas" are full.

Due to too few registrations for WS 10 (new milonguero style) and due to too many registrations for the parallel WS 8 (barridas and tomadas) we agreed with the trainers to CHANGE THE TOPIC FOR WS 10. The new topic is called "Atrapadas - playing with feet and legs". Atrapadas are the "nearest" structure towards barridas and tomadas and we hope participants will be satisfied with this too.

We kindly ask all participants who do not have a place in WS 8 to choose the new WS 10, which is close in topic and dancing level (3-4). We also kindly ask participants of  WS 10 to inform us if they can accept the change and will still participate in the WS 10.

Attention: the programme was modified on 21 May: Workshop 15a is new, Topics of  WS 5,6,15 and 15a have been defined, for  WS 23-29 the order in the schedule has changed. For registration please use the actual numbering. If you have registered beforehand we will contact you and clarify the courses you want to book.

Milonga I a and b (WS2 and WS 18) is a Double Course with the topic "Milonga-Traspie", it is ONE topic over TWO courses in sequence. Milonga IIa and b (WS 12 and WS 21) is a Double Course with the topic "Rhythmic tricks and games in the Milonga" , it is as well ONE topic over TWO courses. These courses are meant to be booked as double course.

For the WS 13, 22 and 26 (Tango for beginners) persons can register without partner, no matter if  leader or follower.
