The adventure starts - now

It's been said: Even the largest trip must start with a small step. That's what I've done. My feet are outside my door, so is my large heap of luggage.

Today I'll make a small trip by train down to Stockholm. I'll meet Pino and Natalie there and we will discuss things about the trip. In the early hours of tommorrow I'll jump into the minibus together with Peder and we'll travel south down through Sweden and into Germany.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Now it really feels like an adventure is starting.

Preparing for Tangocamp

About this time next week I'll be on my way to Tangocamp. There's is tons of stuff to prepare, things to check and organize.

So, do you have any tips on what one should bring when you are going to tango camp? Is there some things that are essential and shouldn't be missed? Give me your best advice!

The photo you see above is from a tango performance with Julio Mariño & Mirabai Deranja last weekend when they visited Uppsala. Taking classes is part of my preparation, to make sure that I'm in "tango mode" and to brush up on some technique.

What are the things that you do in order to prepare for Tangocamp? Tell me.

Julio & Mirabai did a great show and I can't wait to the coming weeks when I'm sure I'm going to see the fantastic shows at Tangocamp each night.

About the reporter: Henrik Eriksson

Hi everyone!

Here is a short presentation of me, the reporter of this blog.

My name is Henrik Eriksson and I live in Uppsala, Sweden. I discovered Tango about 2 years ago and before that I've danced lindy hop for many years (and still do). Now I dance tango as often as I can, about 2-3 times a week.

For me tango is described by sensuality, elegance and intimacy. I enjoy the dramatic tango songs, the lyrical tango waltzes and the playful milongas. The music provides a wide spectrum of feelings to express in the dancing.

I freelance as a photographer and my speciality is dance photography. I've documented my local dance scene for years. Dance is a very rewarding subject since dance is a very visual way of expressing yourself. Dance is also one of the most challenging subjects to photograph, the light is often low and everyone is constantly moving. That's what makes dance photography so interesting.

I'm looking forward to participate in and document this years Tangocamp and to meet you all.
