SUMMER TANGO CAMP
1.-3.8.2025 SOLVALLA, NUUKSIO
Welcome to the Summer Tango Camp 2025, organized by Amigos del Tango!
We will dance the Summer Tango Camp 2025 from
August 1st to 3rd, in Solvalla, Espoo – right next to Nuuksio national park. Come and enjoy wonderful summer days full of Argentine tango!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all new and old participants, our teachers and the DJ´s!
The organizing work for the camp is in good speed, but we are still looking for volunteers to help out with some work on-site. If interested, please let us know through the registration form, or by emailing: kesaleiri@tango.fi.
Summer Tango Camp is meant for dancers of Argentine tango at all levels. We arrange workshops at four levels: beginner, improver, intermediate and advanced. There will also be a group for double role dancers.
You're not dancing tango yet? No worries! On Saturday and Sunday we offer a full beginner course on Argentine tango with an introduction lesson on how to dance in a milonga – this is a great way to start this wonderful hobby. Welcome!
There will be three teacher couples for the improvers, intermediate and advanced classes: Sofia Victoria Mira & Fernando Waisberg, Nina Krook & Michalis Georgopoulos and Carina Quiroga & Arttu Artkoski. The beginners' course is taught by Seita Keloluoto & Ari Sirén. The double role group will be taught by Heini Soutamo-Kohlrausch & Saana Kalliokoski.
You can join the camp either with a full pass that includes workshops, milongas, sauna sessions, meals and accommodation, or with a camp pass that includes all the same except for accommodation and breakfasts. Please take advantage of our Early Bird - prices, which are in effect now.
All passes include classes of one group: one on Friday and four over Saturday and Sunday. For regular classes, the registering is done with a pair - both participants do however need to register individually.
NB! For the double role group no partner is needed.
The event partner search Facebook-group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1738967260350618 has a section for partner search.
As we'll be surrounded by wonderful Finnish nature, we'll enjoy Solvalla’s fine lakeside saunas after the classes on Friday and Saturday. Due to limited size of the saunas they are only available for participants attending the workshops, teachers and camp volunteers.
For residents of Finland, participation in Summer Tango Camp requires membership of Amigos del Tango ry (except for the beginner course and milongas). The camp is organized entirely by volunteers. You can join the association here, membership fee €25/year: tango.fi/en/liity
You can of course attend only the milongas if you like! There will be four milongas: evening milongas on Friday and Saturday at Solvalla hall and day milongas on Saturday and Sunday at Nature Centre’s Haltia hall. The venues are situated in buildings next to each other. On Saturday before the evening milonga there'll be a milonga etiquette introduction for new dancers in the Solvalla hall, and milonga guests are welcome to join as well.
Solvalla's restaurant is only for the camp attendees but Nature Center Haltia's restaurant serves the milonga visitors. In evening milongas snacks will be sold for affordable prices. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic basket and drinks. We do not serve alcoholic drinks but you can also bring your own bubbles!
The Summer Tango Camp is organized at Solvalla sports institute, surrounded by forests and lakes. The address is Nuuksiontie 82, 02820 Espoo. You can easily get there by public transport from Helsinki (direct bus 245 / 245A from Espoo train station) or by your own car – there is plenty of parking space. You can explore the campsite on Solvalla's own website.
See you in Solvalla in August!
