Dj festival in L'viv, Ukraine
30 December — 9 January
Remolino this year will take on a cosier format. As of today, all milongas are to take place at the Panorama hall of Dnister hotel - our regular smaller venue. This means that you don't need to go far to dance - lots of accommodation options in and around the hotel. This also means each milonga is limited to 250 dancers. All milongas from 31 Dec till 4 Jan are sold out, but there are few left for the second half of the festival. Don't miss the end of registration - December 13 (it will be impossible this year to buy tickets at entrance).

We insist on a self-test (rapid antigen test) before the trip for each guest, regardless of vaccination status and airline and train requirements. We ask you to send documents confirming vaccination in advance so that we can check them.
To participate, you must either:
Have had COVID-19 and recovered before, or
Had been vaccinated, or
Commit to the daily testing(nasal swab, cost of antigen test included in milonga ticket)
Free antigen tests for self-control will be available at the festival reception desk. You should take one upon arrival and after 5 days of stay at the festival.
As these preparations take place before the event, NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THE DOOR. Nor will you be able to share them, sell or give away - each ticket will have a photo of the dancer and can only be used by this person.

An exciting addition to the program. There will be four music lectures to understand tango better. They will be given by the wonderful Helmut Höllriegl - a professional opera singer, tango teacher and tango DJ. His speciality is musical understanding for dancers with a focus on the repertoire of the Golden Age. You find different formats of his teaching online on Youtube and his homepage www.tangoinsideout.com.
- January 2 - La Cumparsita | What defines the orchestra style?
- January 3 - Rhythm in Tango | Sources, structures & beyond
- January 4 - Canto, Contracanto | Between the lines
- January 5 - Orchestra styles II | The same but not the same
The 1,5-hour lectures start at 2PM.
The cost is 12 euro if paid before the end of the year, 18 euro at the door. Please note, that you'll only be able to attend a lecture if you're going to the milonga on that day. This has to do with covid-safety measures.
Here's the link to register to music lectures.
There will be one two-hour workshop on “Movement patterns and musicality” by Maria Moreno on January 3rd at 20:30 on the 2nd floor of Dnister. This class will be useful for both folklore dancers and tango dancers. The cost is 15 euros (you can pay in the hryvnia equivalent). Here is a link to pre-register as places are limited.
You can attend this seminar even if you are not a Remolino participant. In this case we will ask you to send us your vaccination certificate or show your negative test made not later than 72 hours before the class.
We will start the seminar with examining the phenomenon of movement pattern — the way of movement a person is used to, one that happens automatically, and instruments for exploring our physical capabilities. The way we hear and interpret music is directly related to our physical capabilities and skills. The set of sequences and movements which are familiar to us determines the way we “sound” with the music and defines if our bodies really experience what we hear and feel.
This seminar will help to find out and realize that we already know and can do so many things (hurrah!), to understand what exactly we are missing and how to integrate this experience into our dance.
Navigation classes are vital part of Remolino. This time they will make up a course presented by the one and only Sergiy Podbolotnyy. The classes are free of charge but open only for participants of the festival. Navigation classes will happen on January 2,3,4,5 and 7 from 2pm to 3pm.
You can come without a couple. For all levels.
Please note that you'll only be able to attend a class if you're going to the milonga on that day. This has to do with covid-safety measures.
