For this series of workshops we asked a number of leading & inspiring international teachers to develop a very special concept for us. During the class they will take you to the how and why they do what they do, to their 'Core Philosophy'. This makes this series already unique in its kind. In this first series we have both Michael Christensen and Patch Adams! Thanks to both of them, our profession has seen the light! Discover the teachers here:

CLOWN & TANGO
Have you always dreamed of dancing tango, but never dared?
Or do you already dance and do you want to find more freedom in your dance?
Bart Walter & Joy Winistoerfer
In these weekends you're invited to search,
under professional guidance, for your inner clown through Tango! You will learn to improvise in a cheerful atmosphere, to laugh at your strengths and weaknesses, to dance and enjoying being foolish. Let yourself be inspired by the atmosphere of Tango: the passionate music, beautiful costumes, the ‘abrazo’ and your own male and/or female side.
The music as well as the stylized form of Tango will inspire you to see the humor in tragedy. You will experience closeness as well as distance. You’ll learn to lead and to follow. You will overcome boundaries by embracing and hanging on to the opposite, and by this find your own balance. You’ll discover your own unique way of dancing Tango!

Waltz
Romance for clowns
25 & 26 nov 2023, Brussels
The Waltz, the whirling dance full of spins, 1, 2, 3, swirling closely together through space, romantic, until passion splashes off. Tango is a dance of seduction, attraction and rejection. The moments before and after the dance, the silences, the licks are wonderful opportunities to explore as a clown.
Milonga
The rhythm of the fool
2 & 3 March 2023 BXL
A rhythmic dance in which the partners seem to fly across the dance floor. The name is also used to indicate occasions where tango and milonga are danced. We dive into the tango codes that hang in this place, from how to invite each other to a dance, to what goes on behind the scenes. And we dance the milonga, exploring how rhythm can feed your clowning game
