A practica is your opportunity to improve, develop and integrate what you have been learning in your lessons. Classes are for learning, Practicas are for practicing and a Milonga is the ultimate destination for dancing! Partner rotations (although not required), peer interactions and the opportunity to ask questions are encouraged and supported. Local instructors are invited to attend (at no cost) to be on hand to work with their students in this practice environment. Local and visiting Dj’s are invited to take a turn providing the music on a rotating basis.

The Beginning/Foundational level class begins at 7pm and includes the elements and techniques need for taking your first steps on the dance floor. Foundations covers the embrace, walking, basic turns and musicality. The foundations class flows naturally into the 8pm Intermediate level where we will take those elements and integrate them into danceable figuras for the Milonga floor! We will introduce you to the language and codigos of Argentine Tango as well as providing some insights into the history of the dance and why the Argentine Tango dance and the Argentine Tango music are integral to each other.
