SDM PRACTILONGA

Hola Tango lovers!!

– Do you take Tango lessons?

– Do you feel intimidated or uncomfortable when you go to a Milonga (Tango Social Dance)?
Don’t worry, because a lot of Tango students, and also Tango dancers who have been dancing for a while now, still find it daunting and challenging to decide when is the right time to go for a Milonga (Tango Social Dance).
Why?
The reason is that to be in an environment that is not familiar and many times (SADLY),
no very welcoming, doesn’t help us to enjoy what we really want to do…
…To dance Tango!
Now we are ready to change the game!
Every last Sunday of the month ‘Showy Dance Melbourne’ will host monthly PRACTILONGA!
What is OUR SDM PRACTILONGA?
It’s a place where we create a relaxed Tango gathering that combines the learning atmosphere of a Práctica with the social feeling of a Milonga.
Just great moments of Tango dancing within a respectful atmosphere.
A place where everyone can dance with everyone, without ANY Judgement.
Dancers can practice, experiment, ask questions, and also enjoy social dancing in an informal environment.
When:
Starting on Sunday the 31st of May.
Time:
From 1 pm to 5 pm:
– 1 pm: Tango class:
This class will be Open Level: special for those who want to brush up their Tango skills and improve their Tango knowledge or simply warm up.
– 2 pm to 5pm: PRACTILONGA:
Time for Tango Social dancing.
When you arrive, we will explain our Tango dancing code of courtesy.
If you are one of our Tango students or has been in our “Showy Dance Melbourne” Tango classes you already know how we behave at SDM. (Very friendly)😉
Amenities:
– Complimentary coffee, tea & biscuits provided.
