Adelsö – Sweden
Summer Retreat “Tango på Adelsö” with
Katrin Urwitz & Jorge Frias
Welcome to the 3rd edition of Tango på Adelsö! We will dance, eat good food, and swim in Mälaren at Sättra Gård on Adelsö, outside Stockholm.
This retreat is for those who are comfortable dancing in their roles as intermediates and advanced dancers with a minimum of 2 years of experience dancing Tango.
This year we offer 2 options :
• 3 day retreat – Full room and board.
• Saturday night! – 1 class, 1 dinner and milonga.
All classes will be conducted in English by Katrin Urwitz & Jorge Frias with the assistance of Malin Backström & Annika Pahlén
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).
