About this Event

Hola chispas, Práctica as usual, community-style. For those who were on our floor last Sunday, and for those who missed out on it (you did miss out as we had some fine good solid clear patient natural teachers), we will go through Yael's & Francisco's rhythm & melody workshop material briefly in our little theme. Also, there will be exotic ice cream for sale. Yes, season is starting again. Only at La Chispa! =>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. 🏫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
