La Chispa Tango Práctica - Posture, the exercises

The theme of this práctica -by Alfonsina- is proper posture; what it is, how to get it, how to keep it, including some fine exercises. Before and after the theme (takes about 30 minutes) there will be time and space to practice whatever fancies your wild imagination with whomever you can lay your hands on and wrap your arms around. La Chispa is an oldskool Golden Age type of Argentine tango práctica. All levels are mixed and participants are expected to help each other to improve their tango skills. More advanced dancers help less advanced dancers, just like in the Golden Age in Buenos Aires. You can come alone or bring a partner. In case you bring a partner you are expected to not only practice with your partner but also find other people to practice a bit with. We must be clear about this. La Chispa is all about building the community. Abrazo, Alfonsina, André, Becky, Iulia, Michael, Sabrina and Willem PRACTICA-LITIES: Entrance fee €5 - in CASH!
