How to explain to other people what the Taboe Tango Camp was all about?
I’ve tried to, but words don’t seem to do justice to the things I experienced. In the end my friends simply concluded that I had had a really good time as I kept on smiling like an idiot with every memory, every image that popped up: the wonderful people, the lovely dances, the workshops and creations, the ‘propjes’ritual...
I’ve kept this marvelous tango-energy for days (and then there was the TangoVerde summerparty and a new strand of energy emerged...;-))
For me the camp was one big playground. This place full of creativity, imagination, sharing and love made me experience a new kind of freedom – to express myself, to (re)discover myself. I learned a lot these days, not just about tango, but also about myself. For which I’m very grateful.
When I first visited the Taboe salon in May, one of the very first things I noticed were all these people coming in and not simply greeting each other, but hugging – intensely as I may say. I wondered what that was all about. Nevertheless, in spite of this obviously incrowd thing, I felt very welcome, danced with a lot of people and had a splendid night.
Tomorrow I’ll be without a doubt one of those hugging people – yes, I consider myself incrowd now ;-). I know now how such a wonderful experience as the Taboe Camp can bond people together.
My hopes are that this lovely, crazy, openminded, loving and caring Taboe community will welcome new tangodancers as warmly as ever. And that all of you angels keep on sharing with others and multiply the Taboe spirit!
With love, Eline

the time after.....
The time after.....after taboe tango...how is that?
...memories,
lots of gooooood memories passing by,
...the shoulder massage rups, someone starts, the YES -let;s do THAT virus! carries on and in no time you have a massive fun line and caring stroking fingers in your back and neck. great!
The saying good buy line: beautiful and terribly emotional as well....all these eyes , memories of moments and dances shared together---I felt so happy, so sad and vulnerable all together
the cleaning of the dormitories: to the sounds of gotan project a broom brush tango trio evolves in the moment, instant composition with stoffer and blik, no discussion, just do and dance in one go, wonderful! (the ones I shared that with will remember..)
Playing with Paula, (this GORGEOUS angelito!!!) being in nature, smelling the woods, the wet leaves after the rain,
greeting the earth and meeting the sky in the morning with Roberto in the qui Gong circle,
sharing fun whilst waiting for the coffie or doing the dishes,
the encounters on the dance floor: each time touching upon a different energy, entering into another personal bubble of body-story, exploring, stumbling upon sometimes, laughing, being carried together into the flow of the music,
Most of all: experiencing the dynamics of people, their laughs, their ways, their energy.
open the heart and spread the vibe, be an angel everyday!
I felt my angel already today and the wings touched upon me...hmm.

It was wonderful!

A dream came true !!
I ended my first year Tango dancing in Antwerp.
And I wanted to stop completely with Tango dancing !
It was to difficult, to technical … and I also experienced most of the time the same “socializing” as if we were on a “normal” party.
To much seriousness and superficial contacts, also in the lessons. Not enough intimacy and joy.
But now I discovered the one and only Taboe Tango Camp!!!
The melting of all worlds …
Milonga/tango, Smokefree parties, Biodanza, 5 rhytms, … Tantra courses …
The All In One Happening Austerlitz July 2008!!!
THANK YOU XXX
Yes, suddenly without taking one single extra lesson I could dance Tango ten times better, deeper, sweeter, more intense and intimate then ever before!
The energy field that was created again and again during the workshops, the daily togetherness, the incredible wauwing kick-offs made my heart sing and my body light and made much more possible then usual. I was flying over the crowded dancing floor, without the normal crashes!
Now I even start dreaming about a real Tango Community !!!
Imagine a place where we live together and where the Tango Taboe Dance is our life style, our daily food !!! Yes Paul and Paras, if we can create what we want, what are we waiting for???
Who joins me to build further on this idea?
But before flying to high, let’s keep the feet on the (dancing) floor.
I want to “repeat” it all in December with you, my brothers and sisters … my untamable wives and wild men!
So my beloved Paras and Paul please note the registration from me and Arjun for (y)our 6 days long and still to short amazing Taboe Camp during the end of this wonderful year 2008!
Note for the ones who are interested in the Intimate/Sex tango issue:
What to do after a close embrace dance … ???
After a few endless minutes that our heart melts,
and our whole bodymind longs for more,
while (s)he is already in the arms of somebody else,
dancing towards the ever changing moving clouds of happiness … ???
Well, just say … Zeg gewoon:
Ik dank jou …
met een tranend hart dat voluit lacht
zoals de warme zon die door de koele regen schijnt
Tussen ons is niets versmacht
’t maakt eerder een regenboog
wat een pracht
Tot dansens Jo Grolus

Angels all around
So I cherish my memories and feelings for you, with whom I joined in taboe camp
I hold you in my hands, my heart, my feelings.
Being with all of you in the world of Taboe camp was wonderful.
Coming home I felt as in heaven....do I know?
Well I felt down to earth, a happiness and quietness had come into my body.
I went home visited by angels, send home with light and sweet lovely music in my heart!
Cleaning the home next day the house became shiny while I danced the most beautiful tangos.
Shopping felt like meeting many angels. I felt connected with the people around me.
Back at work I realised I am surrounded by many angels, I will caress them even more.
So many angels, some with wings, one of us already had full blown wings, she must be very wise! Some with aureoles, some with a B in front....
thank you all
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Waaaauuuuuuuuuwwwwww
This was a great 4 days gathering of wonderfull people. A new generation of angels has been born. This camp was again better than the last, because it was more a creation of us all together. And see what we created... I think, no I am sure, that we are not the same anymore after the camp. Each of us has experienced what happens when you come out, show your self and free your creative energies. We can do anything we want.
If you want to share something on this weblog, please do so. If you have photo's or video's, put them on the net and send the link. We will put them on the log.
It is now as a dream somehow. It feels strange to accept normal life again, but it helps to know that in december we will all meat again. In between we only have our Taboe milonga (every last friday of thje month) to offer.
Thank you all for being so beautifull.
Paul and Paras

Tango is
Tango is luisteren naar de muziek van de lichamen,
in het oor, door de huid, naar de handen,
de omhelsing doorstromend naar de voeten,
Tango is lopen naar de toekomst-samen
moment voor moment in het nu
als denken ophoudt begint de dans
........
Tango is listening to the music of each others bodies
in the ear, through the skin, to the hands,
flowing through the embrace down into the feet
Tango is walking the future- together
Moment for moment- now
as thinking stops the dance begins
By Claudia Kratzheller

But I heard a romour that if 100 hundred people at the same time whish for nice weather, it will happen. So ... here we go ... one ... two ... three,
Great and thanks to us all we can dance and eat outside.
