Dancing experience
This course is aimed at dancers who want to make their dancing lighter and more fluid.
You dance regularly, know the basics and can combine steps. At milongas, you move within the ronda and find your rhythm even when the dance floor is full. Enjoying tango and taking pleasure in it is important to you; you’re open to solid groundwork and clear leading and following.
Fausto Carpino and Stephanie Fesneau are a young and likeable dance couple. They live in Syracuse, Sicily.
Their dancing is inspiring and rhythmically precise, their movements fluid and beautiful. In their classes, they teach with great personal commitment, joy and charm.
Our location
The Bregenz Forest is a real hidden gem in summer if you want to enjoy unspoilt nature in the mountains.
So let’s head up into the mountains and take in the breathtaking views!
Our hotel is situated in Bizau and is renowned for its excellent cuisine. Bailando – pure indulgence!
Biohotel Schwanen
Arrive, take a deep breath and feel at home from the very first moment – that’s exactly what you can experience at the Biohotel Schwanen in Bizau. We love the relaxed and personal atmosphere at the Schwanen.
This family-run hotel combines genuine hospitality with a true culture of indulgence. The multi-award-winning cuisine treats you to a delicious meal every evening and a wholesome breakfast in the morning.
Warm wooden tones in the bright, modern rooms and a sunny outdoor dining area create an atmosphere where you can unwind and recharge your batteries. We’ve now been organising our tango trips to the Schwanen
for 20 years – a reason to celebrate and enjoy!
In the Bregenz Forest, picturesque alpine pastures with magnificent views, shady forest paths and refreshing swimming spots in the clear waters of the Bregenzer Ache await you.
With the Bregenz Forest Guest Card, you can use all public transport, outdoor swimming pools and mountain railways free of charge.
Dance
Hall: The classes and milongas take place in the neighbouring hall, which covers an area of 200 square metres and offers a magnificent view (with a sprung wooden floor).
Thanks to a ceiling cooling system, the hall can be kept at a comfortable temperature even when it’s hot outside.
Hotel rooms
► The rooms at the Schwanen are elegantly panelled with silver fir and furnished with simple yet cosy, modern furniture crafted by local Bregenz artisans. They vary in size and location:
► The Schwanen I rooms measure approx. 30 square metres, whilst the Schwanen II rooms measure approx. 22–24 square metres. Both room types offer views towards Kanisfluh and Hirschberg, or are designed as spacious corner rooms (Schwanen I).
The Schwanen III rooms face the road, which has little traffic at night as Bizau lies in a side valley.
Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis upon receipt of the booking.
There is also the option of staying in a holiday flat or at the Gasthof Taube in Bizau:
► Holiday flat
: As well as accommodation at the Hotel Schwanen, this trip offers the option of booking well-appointed holiday flats. These are located approximately a 5-minute walk from the Hotel Schwanen. The flats have one bedroom and a kitchen with a cosy living area. Meals – breakfast and dinner – are taken together with the group at the Hotel Schwanen.
► Gasthof Taube
The Gasthof Taube is a cosy, family-run hotel, about a 2-minute walk from the Schwanen. The rooms are furnished in a slightly simpler style. Breakfast and dinner are also taken together with the group at the Hotel Schwanen.
Culinary delights
At the Biohotel Schwanen, you’ll be treated to excellent regional and seasonal cuisine.
The kitchen team has been receiving awards for many years, including 14 Gault Millau points and 3 toques. Many dishes are prepared according to the principles of Hildegard von Bingen, naturally using carefully selected organic produce.
- The breakfast buffet is small but exquisite: offering a wide selection of fine teas and coffee, regional cheese and bacon, organic egg dishes, homemade jams and muesli, as well as local dairy products.
- Every evening, a creative, regionally inspired menu awaits us. A vegetarian option is, of course, available.
