Let’s gather together to practice before the milonga!
Join us for a unique and immersive tango practice event tailored for leaders guided by Leonel. This two-hour session is designed to enhance your tango skills by exploring leading and following roles.
Under Leonel’s guidance, you’ll dive into the intricacies of tango, gaining a deeper understanding of the dance’s dynamics. Leaders will have the rare opportunity to experience the follower’s perspective, fostering empathy and improving overall connection. This dual approach not only refines your technique but also enriches your interpretation and responsiveness on the dance floor.
The practice session will include structured exercises, partner rotations, and personalised feedback, ensuring each participant receives focused attention. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or looking to elevate your tango, this event promises to be both challenging and rewarding.
Take advantage of this chance to learn from one of the most experienced leader in the tango community and connect with fellow dancers who share your passion. Step into the world of tango with Leonel, where every movement tells a story, and every step brings you closer to mastering the art. Come lead, follow, and transform your tango experience in this engaging practice session.

This tango workshop is designed to enhance the sense of connection to the music and your partner. We will mainly focus on using contrasting elements in the movement to achieve this.
Rest assured, there won’t be any counting involved in this workshop! We believe in creating a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.
This workshop is tailored for those with a solid foundation in tango, not for beginners. By ‘experienced ‘, we mean individuals who have been regular attendees (or used to be) of milongas.
Date: Sunday 30 June, 1.30-3 pm
Venue: Tango Esencia Studio, 327 Swan St Richmond
Cost: $25 per person / $15 Students—cash or bank transfer.
We booked the venue until 4 pm, so you can stay and keep practising.
Booking with a partner is preferred but optional. If I know who’s coming, I will do my best to balance leaders and followers.
Book/Inquire by contacting me here on Facebook or at jarny.choi@gmail.com
The idea behind this practica:
We’d like to invite you to bring an intention to this space – something you’d like to work on. Whether developing fluidity in that butterfly boleo, or working on your walk…
I’d like you to come to practice and collaborate with your peers.
Who knows – you might have a way of explaining x move that the person next to you has been struggling with in such a way that helps it ‘click’ in their mind. And vice versa – they may have a gem or two to offer to you. Of course, if you want to dance, that is welcome, too
Every 1st and 4th Saturday of the month
3-6 pm
$10/ $5 with student ID card
It is air-conditioned, has plenty of parking, and is accessible by public transport.
