Tango in Hell 2022

 

Registration

The registration is still open for couples and single leaders :-). Click here!

Description

Since Tango in Hell 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation and the 2021 edition likewise, we will reuse the concept in 2022.

Trondheim tangoklubb in cooperation with Stjørdal tangklubb welcome you warmly to Tango in Hell, the second 2nd edition! The venue for the event is the same as in 2019, Scandic Hell Hotel, 600 meters from Trondheim airport. The dates for 2022 are set – hopefully we will see you March 18-20! 

Tango in Hell is a «milonga weekend» with lots of dancing, a total of 18 hours at 4 milongas, excellent food and even better mood. The event is gender neutral and role-balanced, so please register in couples. We especially welcome dual-role dancers to register for the event. Single registrations will be placed on a waiting list to make sure role balance, and the possibilities for single registration will be limited. And please note that you all will be put on a waiting list when registrating, before being granted access – or not.

In 2019, the levels of dancers were the following:

And after the event in 2019 we asked people: «Will you return next year?». Here is the reply, and we hope that you all come back (even the uncertain ones), bringing a friend or 5 :-).

DJ’s

Eva-Lena Ahlberg (Linköping, Sweden)

«Already from the beginning, when I started dancing tango, I was fascinated by the music. My first DJ-job was in 2007 and since then I was stuck. I’m playing regularly at milonga La Barranca in Linköping, but also at different venues in Sweden and Norway. I play classical tango music from the 20s to the 40s with cortinas. The music is of course prepared before the milonga, but I make the final playlist along the way. Every milonga is unique with its flow, rhytm and taste! This is my second performance in Hell.»

Thea Rørvik (Oslo, Norway)

I have been DJing since 2015, playing regularly at the milongas in Oslo. My goal when DJing is to create the right mood for the milonga, keeping the dancers happy and dancing. I play music that I love, and try to find the perfect balance of energy and emotion. My heart belongs to traditional tango, mainly from the golden age. Favorite orquestas are Troilo, Pugliese and D’Arienzo ❤️.

DJ Nisse (Linköping, Sweden)

DJ Nisse from Linköping in Sweden will be our new DJ on Saturday night. He is one of our regular DJ that has been in Trondheim many, many times. DJ Nisse mostly plays the “golden age” tandas with plenty of playfulness and romance in it. He also loves a good beat and finding good compositions within every single tanda. We are looking forward to listening to your music in Hell!

Gabriel Bakke (Bergen, Norway)

«As a DJ I am inspired by the traditional school of Bergen. I always strive to deliver consistent tandas, and im very fond of the most adored evergreens. At the same time I am not afraid to add a personal touch.»

Transportation

You can go to Hell by all means of transportation – plane, train, bus or car (and even by boat). Check your flights here. The venue is situated a very short walk from Trondheim airport. If the weather is nice, it would only take 5-6 minutes. But if Hell freezes over, you can order a shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel on Friday (call +47 74 84 48 00). The train station is either at Hell or Trondheim airport. The distance is about the same from both train stations (8-10 minutes walk). All buses also stops near the venue, or at Trondheim airport. And if arriving by car, there is free parking for you.

The venue – Scandic Hell Hotel

Scandic Hell Hotel is one of the best hotels in the area. It received the award «3rd best breakfast in Norway» in 2018, the best breakfast in Norway in 2019 and the food delivered to Tango in Hell 2019 was absolutely superb! Just take a look at the video. All meals are of course included in the full packages.

The dance floor at «Stiklestad» is very good with plenty of space in a nice (or sinister?) atmosphere.

Room standard is also very good, and has even improved after a refurbishment in 2020.

There is a relaxation area with a swimming pool, sauna and a gym (0630-2200). If you want to get away for a minute or 10, you can visit Vertigo bar (open until 0200) at the second floor where you can have a free coffee or tea during the whole stay. Free coffee and tea is also available at various station around the hotel. Other snack or beverages you have to pay for yourself.

You can also rent a bike at the hotel if you want to explore the area (but check the forecast first. It might be chilly – even in Hell).

Close to the venue, you find Hell Center with a variety of shops. Opening hours Friday 9-20, Saturday 9-17. Rema (groceries) Friday 7-22. Saturday 7-21. Ditt apotek (pharmacy) Friday 11-18, Saturday 9-16. Sunday closed.

Competition

Bring your Tango in Hell-gadget or item to the millongas and win a full milonga pass for next year’s event. We don’t want at costume ball, but something small and maybe subtle describing «Tango in Hell». E.g something like this from the event in 2019:

Shop

We will sell t-shirts, dresses and shoes to both women and men. These can be pre-ordered and delivered to you at Hell. Hjørdis Helsø has promised to deliver a brand new collection of Tango Chica dresses and skirts.

This is Hell

Bilderesultat for hell godsexpedition
Hell station, with Gods-Expedition

The village of Hell (population 1589) has become a minor tourist attraction because of its name, as visitors often have their photograph taken in front of the station sign. A smaller building on the railway station has been given the sign Gods-expedition, which is the archaic spelling of the word for ”handling goods” (godsekspedisjon would be the spelling in the contemporary Norwegian language). The word «hell» in Norwegian actually means «luck» so you should actually consider yourself lucky to be in Hell :-). Hell is situated 4 kilometers from Stjørdal, and 35 kilometers from Trondheim.
