About D4D practicas - Mondays, 7:30 pm ($5 drop-in, included with class purchase)

What is an Argentine tango practica?

• 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. Givefeedback in a constructive manner. ​

What to wear?

• A practica is informal - dress comfortably.
• To protect the dance surface, please carry in dance shoes to avoid tracking in grit and moisture. 
• To make the most of your lessons, attend the practica. Practicing what you learned in the lesson will speed up your progress significantly.
• The practica is free when attending that evening’s lesson.Not attending the lessons? Drop-in to the practica for $5.
• Hosts are available for guidance in the practica.
• The practica 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 or work together only. Both are acceptable and not considered monopolizing.
• 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. 

​What to expect?

• Traditional tango & vals, occasional milongas
• 2 song tandas with cortinas (sets of songs), but need not be observed (start & 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.
