La Chispa Tango Práctica - FREE navigation class at 14:15!! followed by open práctica

All you bright shining sparks! An earlier start!! This time a FREE navigation class by Ventseslav Antonov from 14:15 (!) to 15:15 after which it is regular práctica until 17:45. Floorcraft: how to safely and gracefully move across a crowded dance floor, in the concentric lanes of the ronda, with non-verbal signalling, and by adapting your moves to the space available. The Dispari post on floorcraft of two days ago ties right in with all of this. Free it is as it truly is a labor of love but still there will be a high hat for donativo to show your appreciation. 🍷🥑Bring your own drinks and snacks. Homemade ice cream - flavors cinnamon-orange and lemon curd will be for sale - at a bargain price. 🔥Free entrance for you (and you only) if you bring someone with you who has never been to La Chispa before! La Chispa Tango Práctica: 📍A práctica. No cortinas. 📍Less advanced dancers practicing with more advanced dancers. This ‘knowledge transfer’ also allows the more accomplished dancers to test and transfer their understanding and skills. Teaching is learning twice. 📍Be careful and considerate in giving feedback. 📍Practice with more than one person as La Chispa is community-focused, though of course this does not mean you need to practice with everyone! Just change around a bit, with whomever you feel comfortable practicing. 📍Use mirada/cabeceo or be more direct but respect boundaries. ‘PRÁCTICA’-LITIES: 💰Entrance fee €5 - in CASH! Or Tikkie. Free entrance for you (and you only) if you bring someone with you who has never been to La Chispa before! 🍷BYODS: Bring Your Own Drinks – and Snacks! 📸CASAS: There is this fear that cameras may steal away your soul. 🏫LOCATION: De Wittenstraat 100, 1052 BA, Amsterdam 🚇BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT: From Central Station bus 18 or 21, stop Nieuwe Willemsstraat, or bus 22 stop Nassauplein.

La Chispa is a social tango práctica inspired by the Golden Age tradition. Dancers of all levels are encouraged to learn from each other, with the more accomplished dancers helping the less accomplished - just as it was back then in the prácticas of Buenos Aires. No rigid structures, just a space for exploration, learning, and community. Abrazo, André, Asta, Becky, Iulia, Sabrina, Wouter
