Nourishing meals and snacks are included throughout the retreat. We'll collect dietary restrictions and food-allergy information during registration so we can plan appropriately.

Absolutely. Guests are welcome to provide their own transportation and drive directly to Bask Retreat Center. On-site parking is available at no additional cost.

What should I bring?

Bring comfortable Tango shoes and clothing for training and dancing, comfortable casual clothing for relaxing at the lodge, and your personal overnight necessities. For our evening milonga, bring a change of clothes to elevate the evening and dress to impress—Tango style!

*NOTE: Late November in Tennessee can also be chilly, particularly in the mornings and evenings. Please check the forecast before you come and pack warm layers appropriate for enjoying the outdoor areas of the property.
