| Just a quick definition of what a “practica” will mean at our space. Of course with time we may have differently themed practicas…. so here goes our first shot at it ;-) Practica in tango means the place and the action of exercising the dance under the supervision of an instructor. When working on something, as a conflict or issue arises we would like you to approach the teacher and ask your questions so the teacher may help you. The teacher will not be going around the floor giving tips but instead she will wait for you to come to her and request assistance. It is very important at our practicas that assistance or feedback among dancers is not given unless it’s requested. A practica is a space in between tango classes and the social dance floor (the milongas). Floorcraft protocols are generally relaxed as compared to a milonga, specifically, it is OK to talk during the dance, and impeding traffic within reason while you work on a step is accepted. These practicas are dedicated to tango students and dancers of all levels. It is for those that want to practice, investigate and improve, steps, ideas, concepts, adornments, connection, musicality and technique. It is especially useful to practice things recently learned that are not ready to be debuted at the milongas. The idea is to create a creative and relaxed environment where each person should use their right to make mistakes. |
