Frequently Answered Questions

 

What's up with the Coronavirus?

We'll do the event in September is allowed technically possible, and ethically acceptable to us.
Currently we're a "go" but that may change. We'll make the final decision in mid-August and at least until then you can register - or remain registered - knowing that you can get all you money back, no questions asked.

What's the focus of the seminar?

It's communication and technique. We consider that to be the basic of tango.

What's the level of the seminar?

It's an easy advance level. Will be building up the level slowly through years. We expect that most of the students will be coming back most of the years. 

We don't consider you current level to be very important, but we do expect that you're ready to work hard. We know Chicho and his seminars - everyone will be learning a lot and for everyone there will be some difficult moments, too.

Do I need a partner?

Yes, for the seminar you do need a partner. We hope that many people will return each year, for us it's more a community or a movement than an event.

Do I have to sleep at La Colonia?

It's better if you do... but no, of course you can sleep wherever and with whomever you want ;)   We'd like the seminar group to spend as much time together as possible. The idea is that we learn and share together. So even if you don't sleep in the community you will have many happy hours in the ballroom and on the sunny terrace, or on the beach. In any case you'll probably want to eat with your seminar friends in Hotel Bor.

Can I only book a room without the full-board?

Yes, you can. The prices that we got from the resort include a mandatory full-board; this was a condition for the group discount. If you wish to have a room only or if you prefer to sleep in Hotel Aria you can book the accommodation directly with Debeli Rtič (for normal prices). 

Can I join the seminar for only one day?

Sorry, that won't work. We actually hope that the same group of people will be with us through many years. We're making a commune here. But... see below:

Can I join even if I am not attending the seminar?

Sure, we'll love that. Come to the Saturday night milonga with a show of Chicho and Juana - and with DJ Janja Frank. You can't register for the milonga only, just come to the door and dance. Welcome. Note: the show will be around 23.00. Don't be late.

How many participants will you accept?

We would love to make the seminar available to anyone, but of course that's not possible. We plan to accept 30 couples +-a few. Of course Chicho and Juana usually work with larger groups, but we want the group to know each other. On the other end, having less couples would make the price too expensive and we really don't want that.
