What is the Intensive Tango Training?

​

The idea behind the Intensive Tango Training was born from the desire of several tangueros to explore more deeply the unique movement concept of Diego Calarco, rooted in the principles of biodynamics and biomechanics—the natural movement of our bodies. While most maestros from Argentina visit Switzerland only once a year, real and visible progress in dance requires continuity. Diego Calarco is in Europe every year for 6 months and comes regularly to Bern.

This now offers a unique opportunity to learn over an extended period from a highly skilled dancer and teacher, allowing you to sustainably develop and deepen your tango.

 

Who can participate?
This offering is designed for experienced dancers who want to elevate their technique, body awareness, musicality, and precision with an exceptional teacher and performer. The focus is on depth, continuity and personal growth in tango.

Participation is by invitation to ensure a harmonious, cohesive group.

Are you curious about how two bodies move together in space and music—without any strength or effort? Are you open to new approaches, willing to be challenged and receptive to feedback? If this resonates with you, the Tango Intensive Trainings are for you!

What can you learn?

Diego’s dancing is defined by effortless elegance and exquisite musicality—free of tension or force, yet full of presence, clarity, fluidity, and connection. Every movement is precise, expressive, and naturally organized. Want to see him dance? Klick here!

How does this sense of ease arise?

It is Diego`s method of movement based on the principles of biomechanics and biodynamics that makes it all possible!
