Luna Negra

The LUNA NEGRA KULTURZENTRUM BERN at Zentweg 17a, 3006 Bern is the beautiful place of my wondeful tangoteachers and friends Paolo and Elena, with a warm atmosphere on the outskirts of bern with plenty of room for dancing.

About us
 

We are friends from all over the places that come together to dance by organizing dancing days and nights for Tango and Lindyhop.

• Susanne Aström- Göteborg, Schweden
  It’s such an inspiring mix of fun people that get together in this team to create a beautiful atmosphere – and the good vibes get me going for months afterwards.
   
• Peter Von Salis- Bern, Schweiz
  I love dancing and stumbling to Lindy Hop and Tango – and whenever Eva organizes a dance camp, I make sure to be there and to help out too! Lindy, Tango, Tangoe‘s Lindy and Eva are masters of atmosphere!

• Rosa von Plant- from Innsbruck, in Burgdorf, Austria/Switzerland
  My first milonga. Exited look into the ronda. I want to dance like that, who  is that? Ahhh... we found each other as if by magic, and now I'm even a proud member of the team and will treat you with cool drinks, wonderful tea, fresh bread, cakes and homemade soup at Café Blue Moon on the edge of the dance floor. Just Magic&Mood...!
   

  

• Charles Guénaud - Chamalières, France
  I met Eva and Annika this summer at a tango double role event… Thanks to them, I attended my first lindy hop class there ! That was just awesome !  
  I like this idea to let one dance being influenced by another. Tango, Lindy Hop… oh well, are we not just dancers  ? Are we not just willing to create together OUR dance ? You know, this poetic and musical moment  that only YOU and I can live ?
  I’m  enthusiastic about joining the organization team…. And to meet each of you on the dance floor !
   

  

• Alexandra Könz - Zürich, Schweiz
  I was an enthusiastic Lindy Hop dancer when I discovered Tango and I love both dances. As different as they are, Tango and Lindy have many parallels: the close connection in the couple, the freedom to improvise, precision, dynamics and the joint creation of an intimate moment in the music. Tango and Lindy complement and enrich each other. I am therefore really looking forward to When Tango'es Lindy! 

  

• Annika Pahlén- Stockholm, Sweden
  I first encountered Lindy Hop many years ago, where the joy of improvisation and the authenticity spoke directly to my heart. A few years later Tango found me – a dance that captivates with its complexity and profound wordless connection. While Lindy Hop and Tango may seem worlds apart, for me they complement each other in the most beautiful way. Lindy Hop’s lively movements and playful spirit serve as a contrast to Tango’s intimate, grounded presence, but the two share a powerful sense of connection and communication between partners. Both dances also emphasize the importance of musicality and improvisation. I am so happy to be part of this absolute dream team with my dear friends and I can't wait to meet you all on the dancefloor or over a good cup of tea.  

• Åsa Okutani- Östersund, Schweden
  The combination of two such enjoyable dances as Tango and Lindy Hop must be something special! The vibe Eva has created around this event makes me so excited to be part of it! Dance, meet, flourish... Give your best and together we help each other be our best!

• Eva Sacchi- Bern, Schweiz
  In 1997 I organized the first dance camp for Tango and Lindy Hop in Switzerland. Ever since, from time to time, I just feel the urge to organize dancing events, to bring close together my wonderful friends and these two most beautiful dances ... again and again. 

LindyHop & Tango - Unique Symbiosis

Two dances from the same era coincide in Bern. One of the most beautiful and special aspects of this camp is the Unique Symbiosis of the two dances Tango and LindyHop and the atmosphere it will be creating.
