New to Prácticas? Here’s everything you need to know!
What is an Argentine tango práctica?
A tango experience between a lesson and a milonga (social dance).
A place to practice the skills you already have, to ask questions and receive advice.
Open to all skill levels. Everyone is welcome!
A relaxed atmosphere - milonga etiquette is relaxed too.
A supportive and friendly place to learn. Please be polite and courteous. Give feedback in a constructive manner.
What to wear?
A práctica is informal - dress comfortably.
To protect the dance surface, please bring proper dance shoes.
To make the most of your lessons, attend the práctica. Practicing what you learned in the lesson will speed up your progress significantly.
Hosts are available for guidance at the práctica.
The práctica gives you an opportunity to meet other dancers.
Who will I dance with?
You don't need a partner to attend.
Dancers may change partners if they wish or they may continue to dance only with their designated partners. Both are acceptable.
If either partner wishes to change, say thank you to end the dance.
Some dancers prefer to come with a partner or arrange to meet someone.
If you would like to dance with one of the hosts, please ask. We share our time among attendees and we encourage dancers to dance with other dancers attending the práctica.
What to expect?
Traditional tango & vals, occasional milongas and tango nuevo.
There will be no Tandas (set of pieces of music usually 3 songs) and no Cortinas (short piece of music played between tandas). There will be music playing consistently throughout the práctica so you may start and stop dancing as you please.
The ronda (line of dance) rule should be respected. Please move to the centre of the floor if you wish to work in place.
Unlike a milonga, it is okay to stop and discuss what is and isn't working - to the limits of your partner.
