About this Event
Chispas,
Back to normal after our visiting teachers Rocío de la Torre & Darío Cieri left for Düsseldorf.
Halfway through we will do a small recap of their caminata classes - for those who were present and for those who were conspicuous by their absence. Before and after the theme you can spin your own circles.
📌Last week was Wou ter's first co-hosting for La Chispa. And a resounding success for everyone involved it was! He is now part of the La Chispa team. Like most other team members he will join us occasionally, when in town. (https://www.facebook.com/wou.ter4562)
🍷🥑Bring your own drinks and snacks
🔥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.

✨What is La Chispa?
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.
