Tango Escape Greece 2026 is an eight-day experience on the island of Lesvos, where movement, connection and relaxation meet under the sun and open sky. Through Tango, Yoga, and Embodiment Sessions, we explore movement as a way of listening, being present, and communicating with ourselves and others. Surrounded by the sea, light, and wind, Lesvos becomes a peaceful and inspiring place to slow down, feel, and share within a warm and mindful community.

All classes take place here, either in the beautiful shala with a relaxing view or at the outdoor theatre surrounded by olive groves.
Just a 4-minute walk away, Hotel Votsala offers sunbeds by the sea, cozy evenings with homemade lemonade, and a refreshing swim.
Both the Villa and Hotel Votsala are eco-friendly, creating an inviting atmosphere for meaningful connections.
From 28/08 to 05/09, you’ll be accommodated at either the Villa or Hotel Votsala, based on availability and participant numbers. Both venues are run by the same warm family, ensuring a welcoming experience.
If you’d like to arrive earlier or stay longer, Hotel Votsala is available. You can contact them directly to book your room.
Our Tango classes are designed for dancers with previous knowledge and for those who wish to delve even deeper into their dance. We work with diverse material and emphasise the foundational elements of Tango, such as connection (to the ground, the partner, the music), communication and movement quality, ensuring that every participant can grow at their own pace. Whether you want to dive into the foundations or refine advanced techniques, we focus on the structure of Tango, with a special openness to those exploring double role dancing. With precise guidance and technique, combined with a warm, supportive atmosphere, we create a space where humour and creativity thrive, allowing everyone to express their unique Tango in a playful and enriching way!
Class language is mainly English. German, Swedish, Spanish and Italian spoken upon request.
Experience a blend of Hatha and Yin yoga, mindfulness and meditation, designed to complement your Tango journey. These restorative classes enhance body awareness, support your dance practice, and provide space for recovery. No prior yoga experience is needed; suitable for all levels and tailored to your needs. Themes of grounding, balance, energy and alignment will leave you centered, revitalized, and in tune with your body throughout the retreat.
Start your day with a grounding somatic movement session for all levels. This practice focuses on mindful awareness, gentle movements, and connecting with your body’s natural rhythms. Through guided movement, you will deepen body awareness, release tension, improve alignment, balance, and mobility, and use gravity and flowing motions to ease movement through muscles and joints. These sessions allow you to move at your own pace, promoting relaxation and energy to begin your day.
