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
