Bundanoon Soldiers Memorial Hall
Bundanoon, NSW
Join us for our fifth annual BASH Tango Weekend Retreat with two practicas, two milongas, a beginners’ tango workshop, live music, tai chi and more all in the beautiful environs of Buenos Aires in the Southern Highlands (Bundanoon, NSW).
The BASH Tango Retreat is co-presented by Tango Synergy Sydney and the Tango Social Club of Canberra. It's a great weekend for dancing with your favourite dancers as well as making new tanguero amigos (and tanguera amigas) from across the borders. Last year over 100 people from Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Bowral, Perth and Canberra attended - we expect nothing less this year!
Bundanoon is just 90 minutes drive along the Hume Highway from both Sydney and Canberra. If you're flying from interstate or overseas, the train leaves from Sydney airport and drops you right outside the milonga door - or you can get a few friends together and hire a car. Take the Mittagong/Bowral turnoff if you’re traveling from Sydney, or the Tallong/Bundanoon turnoff just after Marulan if you’re traveling from Canberra and follow the signs.
One of the attractions of Bundanoon as a destination is that it's a very small town so it's a great place to get to know other tangueros/as both on and off the dance floor - over coffee in one of the local cafes, at after-milonga parties by the fireside or with impromptu dances in the kitchen at breakfast-time ....
Ticket prices
BASH is a non-profit event which means we can keep ticket prices low - this year's prices are the same as in 2010. To add flexibility, you can choose to come for 3 days, 2 days or even just one night - though if you speak to anyone who's been before they're sure to advise you to stay as long as you can! Tickets will sell out so be sure to book and pay by the closing date of 21 October.
# Friday, Saturday and Sunday - $50 members*, $60 non-members
# Saturday and Sunday only - $40 members*, $50 non-members
# Saturday night milonga only - $30 members*, $40 non-members
# Non-dancers - $30 (covers entry to all tango events , and participation in the workshops)
Tickets usually sell out by the closing date but if tickets are available, prices for all tickets paid for after 22 October will increase by $10.
* Members rates apply to members of Tango Synergy, the Tango Social Club of Canberra, and affiliated tango clubs.
Your personal BASH mission.....
... should you choose to accept it, is to dance with at least 5 people from another state. With over 100 dancers from all over Australia in one small town and over 12 solid hours of dance time the opportunities have never been better. This is your chance to discover (or re-discover) a beautiful new tango romance (at least on the dance floor), experience how people from 'across the border' dance or just get to know someone new. There will be opportunites at the milongas for both guys and gals to ask someone from another city to dance - or give it a go yourself at practica!
For those of you who like statistics, 12 hours represents approximately 60 tandas (of 12 minutes each) and as there will be approximately 120 people at BASH, you could dance at least one tanda with everyone there! So, be adventurous, ask someone new for a dance - and followers, that applies to you as well!
