| We have the pleasure to introduce for the first
time in Norway: Silencio Tango Quartet from Basel,
Switzerland. They will first play one set for concert at 20 pm, and later play two long sets for dancing.
All the instructors will dance a performance. The price for the whole evening is 150,- kroner.
Silencio Tango Quartet consists of four young professional musicians from Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Europe. What they want most, is to play good music for dancing. Most of the members are themselves passionate tango dancers, and are often seen in the local milongas. Silencio was in a way formed in a milonga. The pianist and the original violinist got to know each other on the dance floor. Together they had the idea to form a band that plays tango for dancing on a high level. In style, Silencio plays music like the well known orchestras from the forties, with special emphasize on the style of Carlos Di Sarli. See also: www.tangosilencio.com |

Jørn & Sissel, Unni & Mike |
| E | Embrace and posture | How to use the embrace to
get connected in different ways, and to change between different embraces. |
Luca & Pamela |
| F | Musicality | The floor is the main music
instrument of tango dancers. It can't be heard, but can be felt in the couple. |
Luca & Pamela |
| G | Improvisation | You know already know a good deal of figures but still have the feeling of dancing always the same stuff over and over again? We will help to break patterns and create new possibilities. | Unni & Mike |
| H | Inner rhythm | Tune in to the rhythm of the couple. Become "one with your partner" and state your shared inner rhythm clearly against the driving rhythm of the music. | Unni & Mike |
| I | Weight and grounding | How to use the weight to be
light and relaxed, to lead and to follow. And to be together in every moment. |
Luca & Pamela |
| J | Ochos in suspension | Do we have to close the legs
every time we do an ocho? Of course not. Very difficult, but we love it. |
Luca & Pamela |
| K | Baridas | On of the dancers "hooks" the foot of the other, and moves it to another place. It can be exactly that, or it can be an illusion. We show you how. | Jørn & Sissel |
| L | Boleos | Is it possible to do a boleo
very slow? Yes! If we can do that, we can do it in every way: slow or fast or slow and fast at the same time. |
Luca & Pamela |
| M | Turns for the salon | Turning in a crowded salon without bumping into other couples? We show you some nice and smooth solutions that keeps your dance flowing! | Unni & Mike |
| N | Milonguero style | We just enjoy to do very long steps in a close embrace. | Luca & Pamela |
| O | Milonga 1 | How to be able to dance milonga and do quick movements in a very relaxed way. | Luca & Pamela |
| P | Milonga 2 | We work with quick repetitive steps, also called "Milonga traspie". | Jørn & Sissel |
| Q | Vals | Dynamical turns in the wonderful vals feeling. | Luca & Pamela |
| R | Alterations | Sudden and often strange changes of directions. It takes maximum awareness from the couple but always gives a new twist to the dance. Alterations are the secret manoeuvre tools of advanced dancers. | Unni & Mike |
