Dance the tango in church
About the event
Discover Argentine tango in the beautiful Willem de Zwijger Church. Everyone aged 18 and over is welcome to attend a trial lesson led by passionate artist Marijke de Vries, whether you have experience or are taking your first dance steps today. The Joy of Tango
Marijke de Vries is a visual artist and has been organising events and activities in the field of Argentine tango for 30 years, often in a mix with other disciplines: performances, lectures, visual art exhibitions, and other dance forms. In the past, she organised the now-famous international Tangomagia festival in Amsterdam. As a visual artist, she became known for, among other things, winning a silver Prix de Rome and for exhibitions at home and abroad.
The trial lesson is intended to introduce you to Argentine tango in a fun and accessible way. You will also receive more information about the monthly free activities at Alma del Sur in the Willem de Zwijger Church.
In the Alma del Sur program, which takes place on the third Sunday of every month starting July 19, 2026, her vision takes 'wings' in a rich and varied program for participants from home and abroad, especially from Amsterdam South. People with and without experience, of all ages, are welcome, alone or as a dance couple.
Practical information:
• From 18 years old
• Start 15 minutes before the start of the lesson
