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

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes, it was amazing,
I can still feel the incredible angelic energie!!!

Thank all you ANGELS again and again and again for our fabulous Tangohappening.

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
love Hendrika

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

Weather report

I'am sorry to say, but it does not look like a real summer time next week. The weather is a mix of sun and rain, with average temperatures (around 20 - 21 degrees). 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.

Just some update

At the moment we have 88 participants coming from countries like Japan, Russia, Iceland, Serbie, Danmark, UK, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands. We still have 10 lovely ladies on the waiting list. If we all hase some men they also will be able to participate. Lets go for it.

We also need some people to help us decorate on Wednesday morning. So let us know if you can help.

Till dance,

P & P

Who is who?

If you look to the right you see the who is who directory. Now only P&P are displayed quite lonely. If you have a website or a blog or a flickr page, then add it to the list or send us the info or ask us to become editor and do it your self. It will be fun to get to know each other better allready.

Love Paul

Video clip and more

Yesterday we had a team meeting and were again full of ideas. We came up with some creation-workshops ideas for the first day. One group will be making a Tango video clip, another is going to do someting with giving and receiving feedback and another will learn more in a Tango laboratory. We are so excited.... if anybody has ideas about workshops it's is welcome. If we like it as much as you do, you could even lead that workshop yourself (if you want of course).

Love P & P

65 campers so far

So far about 65 people are visiting the camp. Just 3 kids, which I find a bit strange, because the camp is really a nice place to combine familly and Tango. But who knows what next weeks will bring. We are still looking for some single man for some ladies on our waitinglist.... and more dancers (and kids) are welcome. So feel free to promote the camp to dancers who like to smiule while dancing.

Love Paul

Taboe Volleyball

Taboe Volleyball

Yesterday a new idea was born (Christa & Jasper) as a nice kick-off game for the evening milonga’s: Taboe Volleyball. We, Paras and Paul, are well know for promoting a loose leg for the follower. So why not doing something useful with the leg. So let's play volleyball. So, if you want to become the Taboe Champ, you can already start to practice.

Taboe Teenagers

Hi, my name is Laura and I'm coming to Taboe Tango from Iceland with my 15 year old daughter Kinnat. I'd love to hear from other participants with teens or from young participants coming on their own. Among our interests are photography, design, social networking, art, crafts, and dance. Kinnat has tried a bit of tango with me, but is more interested in freestyle dance. I will be bringing a camera and laptop to the camp, and perhaps that is something I can share with this age group if they want to create something. I welcome your comments!

Our new motto?

A colleague of mine just gave me the right words:

“You need to share before you can multiply.”

And this is exactly what we are aiming at. At the camp, but also at this blog. So if you want to share something, please let us know. We can give you access as an author or we can post your message.

Think of your website, a poem, some thoughts, whishes or your excitement.

Let create together,

Paul

Tango whisperer

Inspired by the camp we already had a try-out with a new idea. During the last Taboe milonga we introduced the Tango whisperer. It was a strangely dressed man (Hans) who you could ask to pass a message to another dancer. If you like anonymous.

It was great to see that suddenly many women dared to ask those man they never trusted themselves to ask and visa versa. Many compliments where exchanged and even new relations seems to develop. Hi hi hi, it was again such a fun to make Tango more than just a dance.

Love to all

Paul
