Her music is inspired by her dancing, and she chooses her tangos from the Golden Age repertoire, with frequent detours into the Guardia Vieja and the early 1950s. Between joyful and playful tangos, intense and full of emotion, she is careful to vary the orchestras to suit the energy of the ball.
Crossing France in a truck to attend folk balls, flying to Belgium on a whim, or driving to Frankfurt and back for 2 milongas... for 15 years, we've been sharing our passion for dance, with a little excess and a lot of good humor, always in search of magical, sometimes cosmic, connections. Today, we're lucky enough to dance to our hearts' content at a host of magnificent events, so in return, we're keen to help create these bubbles of happiness, these spaces for sharing and exchange. Welcome to our world!
Domaine du Lazaret welcomes us to its century-old pine forest, with direct access to the beach so grab your swimsuits ! We'll enjoy a beautiful 330m² air-conditioned venue. We'll be able to dance for hours in comfort, thanks to our friend Philippe's real wood floor, specially designed for dancing: the “Parquet Rebote”.
You can sleep ON SITE! Domaine du Lazaret offers single, double/twin and triple rooms. With its sea-view terrace, Le Lazaret offers all-you-can-eat buffets for lunch and dinner, with enough variety to suit all diets.
Full board in a “Confort” room:
Nicknamed “the Venice of Languedoc”, Sète is a beautiful, colorful fishing town, with the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Etang de Thau on the other. Take a stroll through its narrow streets, harbor, fish markets and numerous canals, and enjoy its sandy beaches.
You can register alone or as a couple. The order of inscription will not be a determining factor. We'll create a group of 180 passionate tanguer@s, with perfect role balance. We'll try to encourage conviviality, new discoveries, and diverse geographical horizons, with the emphasis on quality and respect for the ball. We will also pay particular attention to full-board registrations. See general conditions.
