Because we all love Spain and because Spain is joining the double-role dancing community more and more …. Totally in Tango just had to create the opportunity for us to reunite with our Spanish friends.
It is a weekend where you will share your dances, get new insights, experience Spanish folklore, and visit some of the most famous Spanish heritage. A fun, action-packed time with friendly, like-minded dancers in a friendly, open atmosphere.

Extra, Not Included
On Thursday evening before the event, for those that come early, we go to see a Flamenco show in the city center. The price will be communicated later, but count around 20-30 Euros, transport not included—departure from the hotel around 21.00 by taxi.
On Friday, we organize a guided walk in the city center with a passionate local guide. Departure at 11.00 in the hotel lobby. The total duration will be 3 to 4 hours with a lunch stop at a local eatery. Count 10-15 Euros for the guide depending on the group size.
On Saturday evening, we organize a “night” guided tour in English of the World Famous Alhambra castle. Even if you have seen it already during the daytime, the evening experience adds plenty of new layers to the site. Pre-booking for this experience is mandatory, as tickets are hard to come by. You can do so during the registration process. Departure around 18.00, return around 22.00. We will organize a taxi shuttle to the Alhambra site. Count on 45-50 Euros for the excursion, transport not included.
The Teacher: Ana Temblador
We are delighted to have Ana Temblador as our teacher for the weekend. She will guide us into the Flamenco world by sharing “her” Granada places and teaching us “Sevillanas for beginners” so we can enjoy the musical cortinas during her DJ set to the fullest. We will also have a chance to fine-tune our milonga dance skills under her tuition. We know Ana as she is living in our hometown now.
What Ana says about herself:
All my life I have been in love with dancing.
I grew up in the province of Cadiz, where the flamenco was born. In Andalusia, friends and family celebrate many activities with flamenco.
Since childhood It has been inside me, in my way of living-
Granada became my second home for more than 20 years. There, I graduated in Flamencology at the University of Granada.
Sevillanas are the most social part of Flamenco, as it is used to dance in couples in the "ferias" and family/friends gatherings.
In 1997, during the Tango Festival in Granada, I fell in love with tango. Granada was one of the first cities in Europe to organize such an event.
Since then I have been travelling a lot for tango including twice to Argentina and also to Uruguay.
In 2018 my life took a turn and I dedicate my time professionally to tango; I teach in Bruges where I live with Alain, we organise tango holidays and I DJ at all kinds of tango events.
I’m glad to have the opportunity to share my roots with all of you. In the Sevillanas class will introduce you to the different rhymes. The classes are accessible to all levels. There is no need for any prior knowledge.

Travel tip!
Granada has very few direct flights.
A cheaper, and sometimes faster alternative is to fly direct to Malaga, and then take a bus to Granada. The buses are inexpensive and very frequent. Some leave direct from the airport of Malaga to Granada. The trip takes a bit over 2 hours.
Have a look here and search for your bus connection.
Registration will open on 01 June 2024
at 18.00 Belgian time.
