PrácTica’ is a tango experience bridging between a lesson and a milonga (social dance).
A perfect, and supportive environment to practice the skills you already have, try something new, learn about the codigos of tango, ask questions and receive advice.
Our Resident Teacher Bill Jarman will guide you on what to practice and how to practice.
* Please be polite and courteous. Give each other feedback in a constructive manner.
The practica is the learning environment for dancing tango. It is the partner to the milonga in the development of tango.”

Taking it to the Next Level
This level is suitable for dancers who understand the basic level criteria and the underlying structure of tango. Although we will be working as couples the class is restricted to the same household or regular couples only.
The focus is on finding a connection within the embrace and how to incorporate musicality. Challenging tango combinations are taught and discussed. This level allows for the opportunity to deepen the expression of the dance, allowing your personal style to emerge through musicality and more complex adornments.
Price Structure
Come and enjoy a fun afternoon learning the rhythm and movement style of the earliest form of tango: Canyengue.
Guided by Barry Arnold and Natasha Eracleous, we will explore the tango’s purest form and its relevance and application to the modern evolution of our beloved tango.
Our regular DJ at MST Practica will be playing his expansive collection of tango music from the 1920s-40s European tango orchestras, many of which are rare and beautifully danceable but rarely played.
See you there!
