Summer “Tango på Adelsö” retreat with
Katrin Urwitz & Jorge Frias
August | 1st to 3rd | 2025
Adelsö – Sweden
Welcome to the 4th edition of Tango på Adelsö retreat!
We will study and dance Tango, eat good food, and swim in Mälaren at Sättra Gård on Adelsö, outside Stockholm.
Far enough from the busy city, close enough for a short escape.
This year we are lucky to have a special guest on the team, Stine Helkjær Engen. Bandoneonist player and part of the Andariega orchestra.
You can join for the full schedule program of 3 days, from Friday to Sunday or the special Saturday evening that includes a Tango class with Katrin, Jorge and Stine, beautiful dinner buffet and Milonga with live music and argentinian DJ.
This retreat is for those who are comfortable dancing in their roles as intermediates or advanced dancer with a minimum of 2 years of experience dancing Tango.
All classes will be conducted in English by Katrin Urwitz & Jorge Frias. Annika Pahlén will give us somatic movement sessions in the mornings to nourish our bodies. This years program is especially curated in collaboration with Stine to give you a weekend filled with Tango: music, poetry and dance.

Why Adelsö?
Sättra gård is a wonderful place located next to Mälaren and the forest. Katrin’s sister, Karolina Lallerstedt, and her partner Johan Norberg live at Sättra gård and run the stables there. They also run Club Social Adelsö in the old Storköket, which is a large house with many possibilities and a big dance floor. This is where we will have our activities.
Adelsö is about an hour’s drive from Stockholm city. It is also possible to get there by public transportation, by taking the subway to Brommaplan and from there taking the bus (travel time is 1.5 to 2 hours).
