The Tangofulness Immersion

Who is this for?

Social tango dancers who want to create a comfortable, clear, and enjoyable dance.

This is for leaders who want to be able to lead any follower, regardless of her experience, and for followers who want to embody tango’s principles so they can dance with a clear mind.

Overall, this is for social tango dancers who want to understand:

how their bodies need to engage and move to create a comfortable dance without plateaus,
where they need to step in relation to their partners to make dancing easier, and
the leading and following principles that allow them to communicate with anyone.

Over 20 Tangofulness Immersions have already taken place, welcoming dancers with anywhere from one year to fifteen years of experience.

In the countryside of Portugal, close to Coimbra, at a private property, this intimate retreat is a true tango immersion.

Concept

4 days of tango immersion for one person, one couple or two couples.

Together with Dimitris Bronowski, the author of the book Tangofulness and When the Embrace Whispers, known also as The Curious Tanguero.

Daily private tango practice sessions, lots of dancing, tango and life discussions, healthy and tasty food, a bit of Porto wine while watching the sunset.

You’ll dive deep into creating connection, dancing with ease, and through 1-to-1 tutoring you’ll discover your individual path to a better tango.

All this in a private property that many visitors have described as ‘The peaceful place’, where you can hug and let go.

You’ll also have the option to visit Coimbra, a riverfront city with a preserved medieval old town, take a walk in the forest, spend an hour in a warm swimming pool with sauna and jacuzzi, and enjoy the nature.

This is the place for those who want to embrace and let go, discover their tango and experience peace, laughter and deeper connections.

My girlfriend and I were there last year. We really enjoyed our private tango lessons with Dimitris, the charming room, farmhouse and the great moments with Dimitris, Helena and Andreas. I recommend this tango retreat!

The work that you and I did together was a huge breakthrough and continues to help me move my dancing to a different level. And the time I spent together with your family was truly delightful.

This retreat came at the right time for me. I have been going through a “tango slump” and needed the space and dedication to shift and adapt my tango to the way my body is changing. This immersion was incredible-I loved the way Dimitris worked with me to rebuild my concepts in tango and do it in a way that was fun and understandable. I’ve been back in Australia for 2 months now and I can honestly feel the difference in the way I dance and leaders have observed how I own my tango now. Highly recommend!

What I find very valuable about Dimitris retreat concept is the opportunity to influence yourself, as a single guest, which part of the program you choose, how much time you prefer for different activities. In this sense retreat can suit many individuals with their different tango skills and goals.

I like intensive tango training that includes both technical part and a lot of dancing. Being able to do that 5-6 hours a day, 4 days a row, one-on-one with a wonderful dancer-tuitor, was pure luxory for me!

But not only that! It was the hospitality and warmth with Dimitris and his lovely wife Helena welcomed me, that made me feel like a family member during those days in December 2025. And how many interesting, openhearted conversations we had at the dinner table and during the exciting trips to Coimbra!! I’ll keep all those memories in my heart.

I hope to meet you again, Dimitris and Helena, sometime somewhere in Europe at some lovely milonga! Hugs!

I stayed here last year for a week.

Beautiful location, a warm welcome, fabulous healthy food and wonderful tango tuition from Dimitris – what’s not to love!!

Thoroughly recommended for anyone who loves tango and wants a peaceful retreat.

After few months of my beginning with tango. I found information about the tango retreat with Dimitris Bronowski. I already read books and i was very interested to meet with him.

There were wonderful 4 days with this wonderful family and tango. I left all my problems and warnings. Helena Fernandes prepared so delicious meals. I was able to focus on tango, practising with Dimitris but also in the evening reading other books or talking to Helena and Dymitris. In the beginning of my journey with tango it was very useful as I was able to listen to and practising something that it helpful for milongas and not always you can get it from the teachers.

It was very nice and calm destination. One of the best tango investments that I did. I took from there some advice rhat I use all the time when I am going to milonga or any workshops. Really recommend if you want to feel tango, be in tango for 100% and as a benfit you can enjoy this time with this wonderful family

What an opportunity for anyone interested in deepening their relationship to their Tango in an incredibly focused, clearly structured and personal manner without it ever becoming too stressful or “teachy”. Dimitris Bronowski has endless patience while knowing exactly how to present concepts and ideas that match the need of the student. Not only will you get laser like support for four entire hours per day, but Helena will ensure you have the freshest and most plentiful meals, cooked with care and nutritional benefits. And there’s more! The house has the most wonderful views- a pool if you go when the weather is nice- lovely en suite rooms supplied with tango books, and wonderful options on outings. Can you really imagine a better way to spend 5 days if you care about Tango?

Antoinette Oberg

My husband and I attended Dimitris’ tango immersion last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dimitris and his wife Helena were wonderful hosts and great tour guides. This was a bonus. Our reason for going was to study tango with Dimitris.

Dimitris introduced us to a new approach to dancing tango. More so than any other teacher with whom we had worked, his emphasis was on our relationship to the floor. The floor was the source of direction, energy, and the relationship between the partners. Dimitris gave us very clear and precise instructions on how to use the floor in these ways, and he also gave us exercises for preparing our bodies to be able to do so. We were not able to master the strategies he showed us, but we took away valuable refinements to our tango.

As a follower, I wish there were more leaders who used Dimitris’ approach. At the end of our immersion experience, I had an opportunity to dance a tanda with Dimitri. His approach enabled me to dance better and more effortlessly than I ever had before.

I can highly recommend this tango retreat at a lovely place with beautiful people! I very much enjoyed my stay, the warm personal atmosphere, the great tango lessons, the lovely sightseeing and the great care

Olvido Monreal

The Tangofulness Immersion retreat was our honeymoon last June! We enjoyed every minute, the lessons, exercises, and discussions, sightseeing in Coimbra and at the end, he gave us great recommendations of what to do in Lisbon. When we returned, some leaders I had danced with before commented I felt more centered. It was surprising, as it had been an extremely busy summer and other than the 4 days with Dimitris I had danced less than usual. I attribute those comments to Dimitris unique approach and all the seeds he planted during those 4 days, which made me be more aware of my body dynamics.

I have to finish by commenting on the wonderful meals prepared by his wife, Helena. Healthy, tasty, varied, just wonderful. Highly recommended!

Krisanne Heinze

What an amazing experience! The day was filled with tango practice, tango theory, discussions, outings such as hiking and seeing the city center of Coimbra and eating delicious, healthy food. The immersion was all inclusive. I ate with Dimitris and his family every meal and it was a pleasure to talk with them about many different topics. The private suite was comfortable and spacious. If you want a relaxing, yet full, tango immersion experience, this is it.

Petra Agni Lieske

Evie (asked to remain anonymous)

I wanted to give you some feedback after our retreat. Leaders are asking me if I’ve been practicing (which I haven’t) and they say my dancing is different and great to dance with me. Another (Argentinian dancer) keeps saying muy bien after each song! At last night’s milonga I hardly sat down – it was wonderful. Plus I made a point of slowing down some leaders using the techniques you taught me! Just wanted you to know. Big thanks 🙏🏻💃
