Embracing presence: a Dance of Renewal. Tango Embodiment Retreat in Lanzarote

Pause for a moment and imagine.
Imagine fully inhabiting your body and your sensations. Feeling connected to your breath and moving with a sense of lightness and presence.

Imagine being able to learn how to access this state of fullness and joy, feeling alive and present in every movement.

Now, imagine exploring all of this through dance and movement, surrounded by the elements of nature, in a beautiful and wild place where it’s always spring.

Good. Now you can open your eyes and stop imagining, because all of this already exists.

We are Emilio and Giorgia, and we believe in movement and dance as tools for profound self-discovery and transformation.
This is why we want to offer you the opportunity to spend 7 days with us in the magical atmosphere of Lanzarote island.

An immersive experience where you can rediscover and explore new parts of yourself in a playful and creative way through somatic practices, but above all, through dance—the central focus of this retreat.

Tango lessons, along with Folklore and special seminars dedicated to Latin Fusion, will provide you with the tools to connect with different facets of your energy and various ways of communicating with others, going beyond words.

The morning somatic practices, inspired by methods such as Feldenkrais, will help you become familiar with your body and move closer to fully being who you truly are.

All of this will be framed by the remote and intense landscapes of Lanzarote, a volcanic island in the Canary archipelago; a place where you can be mesmerized by the power of nature while being pampered by the mild temperatures all year round.

What we’re offering you, then, is a fully sensory and immersive experience. We’ve chosen to keep it intimate, open to only a few selected participants, so that we can give each one great attention and care.

We are excited to imagine you with us, and below we’ll share more details about the retreat program.

Your teachers for this trip :

Giorgia Milano: Born in Bari, in the heart of the Mediterranean, she began her exploration of dance at the age of 4, ranging from Ballet to Modern-Jazz, and moving through Latin, Caribbean, and Oriental dances, until she discovered Tango and Argentine dances at the age of 20. Her curiosity and passion for movement eventually led her to delve into theories and methods of training and somatic awareness through the study of Pilates and – later on – the Feldenkrais method, becoming a teacher of both disciplines. For years, she has lovingly dedicated herself to teaching and sharing her research, both personal and professional, with the aim of helping people improve their self-awareness and quality of life through movement and dance. Her work takes place on an international level, both in-person and online.
