Dates: from 30th October till 3rd November 2008

Arrival: Thursday 30th October between 13h and 19h
Departure: Monday 3rd November before 11h

Location: Abano Terme (Padova, Northern Italy)

Abano Terme is considered the most important thermal resort in Italy and among the first in Europe. The town is located on a plain close to a range of low green hills, the Colli Euganei (Euganean Hills). The 'Terme' part of the name means 'spa'. 

The waters come from the Dolomiti mountains, sink three thousand meters deep into the ground and resurface mineralised at a temperature of 85-87 °C, where they are collected in thermal pools. Here their curative and beneficial actions combine with those of volcanic mud. Mud represents, together with water, the basic resource for a large number of health and beauty treatments. Nearby cities Padova, Verona and Venezia are worth a visit.

While taking care of your body and relaxing your mind in this thermal resort, the purpose of this tango holiday is a full immersion in Marisa and Oliver's personal tango style. An in-depth view of our basic techniques: posture, walking, turns, following and breaking the codes, in- and out of axis, rhythmic interpetation...
