Add-ons

venue

Since May 2019 Katharina Sigel is  owners of this huge and wonderfull farm. It includes two hectares  land, five buildings and a little pond (no swimming) in a small little forest.

The farm is located in the beautiful, agricultur area of Prignitz, exactly between Hamburg and Berlin, easy to reach from A24. 

By train you reach the farm with the RE6 from Berlin and from Hamburg with IC(E) and RE6. 

A shuttle service from the trainstation Pritzwalk will be provided.

 

The 100qm dance-floor is pretty new and specially designed for Tango. Here you have the best air condition you can imagine as well as the best sunset you can get in front of a charming wide field. Dj’s overview the dancers and floor from our famous ship. Also, for the ladies to change and prepare for dancing an extra room in our middle barn would be available.

As you can see, it’s very worth it to spend the weekend at Thanari even without Tango – but it’s way more special and a fantastic combination with it. We are delighted to welcome you to come and enjoy our small paradise.

here you see the DJs that played for us in 2022, Djs for 2023 will be pronounced later.

Nathan Leptin - Hamburg

Julian Emmerich - Berlin/Ungarn

Jan-Hendriks -
Berlin

Christiane & Timo - Berlin

My DJ journey started in 2014, when I DJed for a couple of different milongas in my then-hometown of Muenster. Ever since, I’ve collected experiences in many different places both in Germany and other Countries in and around Europe. I DJ regularly on different Milongas in my hometown Hamburg. When I DJ I feel like I’m dancing with the whole crowd. The flow of energy from and towards the people on the dancefloor gives me a passion that is just as intense as my passion for the dance and music of Tango itself. I try to balance out rythm and melody, though I must admit to be leaning towards the faster and more energetic section of tango music.

Julian, originally from Hungary, based now in Berlin, has been in the Tango world for 6 years. He is frequently seen in the Pista all around the world. While his tango life is mostly bringing him towards the Stage, which he has stepped on in multiple countries in local Milongas and Festivals, he has also sat behind the DJ pult for some hours now and made the local scene in Berlin boogie through the night.. His style of playing is mainly by understanding the energy of the location and the dancers he sees in front of him while holding the space for beautiful experiences to happen. His love for Tango can be understood by the long tattoo running over his veins which says Tango, “because it runs in my blood. Tango is like life. Everything that can be found in life, can be found in Tango.”

Jan-Henriks kommt aus Berlin. In seiner Heimatstadt, ist seine Musik regelmäßig auf Milongas und mehrmals im Jahr auf Encuentros Milongueros in ganz Europa zu hören. Als Tango-DJ wählt Jan-Henrik jede Tanda für den einzigartigen Moment aus und vertraut dabei auf seine innere Stimme als erfahrener Tänzer – und fragt sich: Würde ich jetzt zu dieser Musik tanzen wollen. Seine Vorliebe sind Stücke der „época de oro del tango“ 1935-1955 Er wird für die Milonga eine besondere und besondere Atmosphäre schaffen, indem er die Stimmung der Tänzer auf der Pista zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt berücksichtigt. Eine sorgfältig Auswahl der Cortinas rundet die Musikauswahl ab. Einfache Rhythmen mit guter Energie bis hin zu dramatischen und melancholischen Momenten führen die Tänzer den ganzen Abend durch ein Kaleidoskop der Gefühle.

Christiane and Timo are real “Berlin plants”. They started dancing tango in 2001 – very quickly it became a passion. In addition to intensive dancing at local milongas, they both travel a lot to marathons all over Europe.

In 2019, together with friends, they organized their first milonga in Berlin, since then they both regularly DJ at private and public milongas. Besides dancing, DJing has become a second great passion. The constant search for the best music and good recordings made the music library grow immensely in the meantime.

Musically, the focus is on the Golden Era of Tango – but not exclusively, in order to bring enough excitement to the dance floor. Well-known pieces are occasionally supplemented by less frequently played tangos.
Rhythmic tandas alternate with lyrical pieces. As passionate dancers, a varied dynamic and a good danceability of the pieces is essential for them.

Maestros teaching in 2023

Claudio Ceballos

Leila Reese

Raised in Palermo, Buenos Aires discovers tango at a young age through his “milonguero” uncle.
Initially he studied classical guitar, music composition and performance in Argentina and the USA with distinction. Back in his home country he dedicates himself fully to the tango again. Here he studies intensively with the best maestros of the city – Gustavo Naveira, Sebastian Arce, Javier Rodriguez, Gabriel Misse, Leandro Oliver, Demian Garcia – the tango he wants to dance and pass on himself: ‘Tango Salon’ and studies tango and folklore at the ‘Instituto Universitario Nacional de Artes’ (IUNA-BsAs).

From 2015 a permanent part of the ‘Escuela argentina de tango’, he teaches groups and individuals and starts touring and dancing shows internationally with his partner. On these paths, he meets a dance couple that, as he says, has inspired and influenced Him in a special way: Geraldin Rojas and Ezequiel Paludi. In Italy he has the good fortune to work directly with them, personally and dance-wise a very special honor.

One of his special talents is to be able to put himself perfectly in the perspective of both roles – leading and following. In this way he is able – although always with a partner – to accompany and sharpen both roles equally intensively.
Good technique leads to a natural connection. Leading and following becomes easy, fluid and precise – whether we have a lot of space or not. A bailar!

Since 2019 CCC lives in Berlin, where he teaches groups and private lessons to support tango dancers of all levels in their development through precise technique and details. He teaches alternatively in 4 languages: German, English, Spanish and Italian.

 

In Hamburg Leila first came in touch with the world of tango through a colleague in 2007. From the very first moment, she was particularly touched by the music. During the following year she attended the city’s milongas just listening and observing the atmosphere. Only after many hours of observation, she begun to participate in group courses and to take private lessons. Since then, the tango has accompanied her around the world, participating in tango events and bringing her frequently to Buenos Aires. With the same passion as in the beginning – listening and observing -, Leila continues her intensive study and training with local maestros. “Tango became my home no matter where I lived.”

Leilas investigation of movement started in young age training gymnastics, later picking up on ThaiChi and yoga, which is part of her daily routine. As a complement to tango, Leila trains regularly ballet and does bodywork with who, according to her, is one of the role figures in her life, Marcela Trapé from BsAs. She deeply investigated the body as a connected musculoskeletal system and in tango she focuses on intensive detailed work as a basis for a certain communication within the embrace.

Since 2020 Leila has been training tango and taking regular lessons with Claudio Ceballos Cruz and assisting him with courses in Berlin.

TEAM

Thana (Katharina Sigel)

I have been a passionate tango dancer for 22 years and have always traveled internationally a lot. Since 2019, with the purchase of our farm and Corona it has become quite quiet about my tango. Now I am doing everything I can to bring the tango to Thanari and look forward to your numerous attendance.

Besides the organizational activities I am a teacher, owner of the Tango Shoe Station Berlin and a visual artist. Here I am mainly occupied with the medium glass. I make unique glass jewelry and glass sculptures. Look forward to a rich offer during the Tango Event from my own workshop.

Lilia Keller

I have been a tango teacher in Berlin for 19 years. I organize milongas & tango vacations and enjoy being a tango DJ.

I first came into contact with tango in Los Angeles in 2000, and the love for tango has been burned deep into my life ever since.

Since 2015 I am at home with my classes in the Tangoloft and since the pandemic I run my own little tango salon.

I love to DJ in Berlin tango clubs like Tangoloft, Art 13, Clärchens Ballhaus, Nou-Tangolounge, Milonga Popular-DJ Candlelight Floor & Haus der Sinne.

Kilian & Josh

We are Kilian and Josh and you are going to find us most of the time behind the bar. We know each other for more than 2 decades time and been working in the event gastronomy for some years. We got in touch with Tango because of Thana, she showed us everything we know about it. But until now we’re not the most passionate dancers but that can change very fast 😉.

We were already on the last Tango event working behind the bar and enjoyed the weekend a lot.

We are looking forward to serve you delicious drinks and fresh self-made juices.
