It´s a personal scala of initiatives in culture, music, singing, dancing and connecting people.
Originally from the Netherlands having organized festivals and theatre choir projects, concert and events, in 2013 Sevilla became the work floor for new activities. Organizing hundreds of milongas (the place where tango is danced) since 2014, and organizing socials (where swing is danced), since 2023, we continue these activities, at home in Tango Garaje or outside, in the open air especially of Plaza de América, Parc de María Luisa, when the weather permits it.
In october 2023 we started an Argentinian tango class for beginners, with a group of around ten people.
Then from 2017 we started new combinations of activities, like Cine Plus, where a special movie is combined with singing or dancing. Another combination was the mix of tango and swingdance, new for everybody, not easy!
Singing activities belong as wel to the whole cultural scala. First there was the Sevillian Swing Choir from 2015 till 2019. By lack of stabilty and progress we had to stop this. In 2022 we started the workshop “Taller Vocal Mix”, a serie of routines to get singers singing, or singing more and better and prepare them for acts, solo or in small groups to perform on stage, in jam-sessions or CinePlus nights.

HolidayJam is the name of a music week in France, in august 2025: “Encuentro” of the Netherlands, Sevilla and France; between singers and musicians; and between profs and amateurs.
Cineplus consists of three combinations of cine and another activit.It starts with a special movie, then a socializing part by eating together and then an active part, depending on the type of movie: singing or dancing or even both: Party night!
Taller Vocal Mix is all about singing, especially for preparing singing solo, improving timing, interpretation. Emphasis on jazz, swing, pop. We do warming up, singing canons, doing scat, sharpening listening to music and its rhythms and harmonies. Preperation on jam-sessions a more informal ambience, as in CineCanto or Vocal Mix nights …
From december 2024 till march 2025 we´ll have a break in the program in Sevilla.
Meantime an international musical holiday sessionweek is being prepared: “HolidayJam”, shortly “HoliJam!”, from 26 august till 1 September 2025, in the Dordogne, France, with an extension of two days more in Toulouse: an interchange and meeting between Dutch singers and musicians and singers and musicians from Sevilla.
