If you're new to tango, we'll be happy to take you aside for a crash course at 2pm. You can also always ask for help and work on your dance technique at any time during the event.
Spire Tango Practica is committed to the principle that inclusivity is a social contract. We strive to be a comfortable, safe, and joyous space for everyone—regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, religion, size, or ability—who commits to that contract.
WHAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE/CONTEMPORARY PRACTICA
A practica is an informal tango social dance and practice. It's less formal than a milonga, and while people may simply go to a practica to social dance, it's also acceptable to use it to practice your technique and ask for feedback from partners. (Unsolicited feedback on a partner's dance technique is still unwelcome, however.)
[Full description is extensive — includes role-fluid dancing, music policy mixing traditional and alternative/neo tango, and a commitment to queer- and beginner-friendly space. Additional ~6000 chars of inclusivity and practica etiquette policy on the FB page.]
