NEW: The TangoCamp for TangoFlow
Tango Argentino at Café Basico, Kreuztal, 5–11 July 2027 in North Rhine-Westphalia.
With Isabella & Iwan and Elie Golgevit & Sophie Lecomte — four teachers, one group, one shared week.
Escapade Tango Camp is the most open format we know: all levels, all roles (including Double Role),
all music styles — contemporary, traditional. Nobody has to commit to one fixed role — but you’re welcome to. Everyone is free to dance everything, if they want to.
Café Basico is no coincidence as a location. Warm hospitality, wonderful dance floors, a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere the hosts have created there. We’ve already held Eros Tango Logos there 7 times, and it’s a highlight every year. Now they’re adding another large dance hall — which gave us the idea to bring our brand-new format here. Different accommodation options for every budget, from camping to apartments. An outdoor dance floor, a river for swimming, a forest lake — that’s the space and atmosphere where tango can truly breathe. A summer week that slows you down, opens you up, and brings you together.
For dancers who want to rethink tango. All levels welcome.
ESCAPADE TANGO CAMP: A collaboration between Elonga and Graphia Corpus
Isabella & Iwan dance for you together with the creators of the Franco-German association „Graphia Corpus“: Sophie Lecomte from Brittany and Elie Golgevit from Southern France. All four guide you alternately through this experimental tango journey. Sometimes Elie & Sophie lead the entire group through a teaching session, then Isabella & Iwan. The four teachers teach in synergy, complement each other, inspire one another – and become students themselves during the others‘ sessions.
Two worlds, one language
Not dividing, but connecting. Not thinking in roles, but in dance connections. At the forefront is authentic tango dance – to all musical styles from all eras. Main Role, Double Role and off Role… All tango dancers are welcome, regardless of their dance experience. You’re invited to experience both roles, but you don’t have to. You’re completely free!
We work individually and in couples. We explore intention and listening. We discover how autonomy and connection don’t contradict each other, but condition one another. A dance as a space of imagination, where everyone becomes a co-creator of the danced moment.
Four voices, one passion
Isabella & Iwan
A dance and love couple since 2008, they continuously explore their organic, contemporary dance style. Their approach: creating an inner body sensation through imaginations and images, aligning from within, rediscovering one’s own feminine and masculine essence. Inspired by yoga, Cantienica, the Franklin Method, and collaboration with physiotherapists, contemporary dancers, and in stage and project work.
Graphia Corpus Projects:
• NeoTango Landscape 20/21
• Tango tout Terrain 21
• FlowTango 24/25
Sophie Lecomte | Saint-Avé For about ten years, Sophie practiced contemporary dance in a company before tango opened a new dimension for her 15 years ago: that of a shared creative space where interpretation arises from constant dialogue with the other. For her, otherness is not a burden but an opening to the unknown. Even as a follower, never passive: using, transforming, dialoguing. Each encounter becomes an invitation to take the other into one’s own world while simultaneously living in theirs.
Elie Golgevit | Montpellier Originally a musician, Elie found rebirth in dance – through contemporary dance, contact improvisation, and finally tango, which he has practiced for years in Double Role and off Role. His vision: tango as a triangular relationship between the two dancers and the music. Each responsible for their own relationship with the partner and with the music. From this grows autonomy, mutual listening, and dance created together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Escapade Tango Camp · Kreuztal · NRW
What is Escapade Tango Camp — and what makes it unique?
An experimental tango week with four international teachers: Isabella & Iwan (elonga, Germany) and Sophie Lecomte & Elie Golgevit (Graphia Corpus, France). Four perspectives on the same tango — a depth a single teaching couple could never reach alone. All levels, all roles (Double Role), all music styles.
Who are Sophie Lecomte & Elie Golgevit from Graphia Corpus?
Sophie and Elie are French tango teachers and bodywork experts. Their approach, Graphia Corpus, blends Tango Argentino with somatic bodywork, contact improvisation and contemporary dance. Together with elonga, this creates a unique, cross-border teaching format.
What's included in the TangoCamp — how is the week structured?
The exact programme and pricing will be confirmed soon. Planned: intensive teaching sessions with all four teachers, milongas, and plenty of room to dance — on the outdoor dance floor, by the forest lake, or in Café Basico's large hall. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when booking opens.
What is Café Basico in Kreuztal — why this location?
Café Basico is no coincidence for us: we've already held Eros Tango Logos there 7 times — warm hospitality, wonderful dance floors, a relaxed atmosphere. Now the venue is adding another large dance hall, which gave us the idea to bring Escapade Tango Camp here. Outdoor dance floor, forest lake, accommodation options from camping to apartments — here, tango can truly breathe.
Who is Escapade for — do I need prior experience?
All levels welcome. Four teachers mean four different approaches — beginners are gently guided, advanced dancers go deep. Double Role: no one needs a fixed role, everyone dances everything. Solo dancers and couples equally welcome.
When can I book — and how will I hear about it?
Booking opens soon. Sign up for our newsletter and you'll get notified the moment the programme and prices go live.
How do you teach — is it mainly about figures?
No. We dance with every one of you ourselves — that matters to us. Clear body language, real communication and real connection in the dance matter more to us than figures and sequences. Those still happen with us — but they come from within, out of the moment, never as memorized step patterns.
How big is the group?
We work deliberately in a small group — a maximum of 44 people — so we can really dance and work with each of you personally.
