The Afternoon Practica with Richard Ariza

Every Saturday @ our Studio

2pm to 4.30pm $15 ( Non students $20)

We are limiting the practica to 18 people. Reservation required. Please fill out in reservation form if you lead or follow or if you can do both since we try to balance the Practica as much as we can. No refunds.

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. Carina will be there to help you with any questions.

What to wear?

  • A practica is informal - dress comfortably.

  • To make the most of your lessons, attend the practica. Practicing what you learned in the lesson will speed up your progress significantly.

  • Host Carina is available for guidance in the practica. We will show and work on a step during intermission

  • The practica gives you an opportunity to meet other dancers.


Who will I dance with?

  • You don't need a partner to attend. Vaccinations required. Mask optional.

  • Dancers may change partners or work together only.

  • If you want to bring your partner and not change that is ok too


What to expect?

  • Traditional tango & vals, occasional milongas and some non traditional music and well as some Tango Nuevo.

  • 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.

  • We will do a 10 minute brake in between and work on a little sequence either shown by a student or teacher (Carlos Gavito Style)
