About this Event
Chispas,
Teachers in the house on the floor this Sunday afternoon!
Yael Nahir & Francisco Coria will be giving a:
⌚ 14:15-15:15 Workshop Rhythm vs Melody (€15): what we must adjust in our bodies to interpret rhythmic and melodic orchestras
⌚ 15:15-17:45 Guided práctica incl. a surprise topic mini-class (€5 + donativo) <- you can ask them all questions tango, they may come to you with suggestions and tips, you can ask them to dance a song with you for diagnosis, etc.
So for €20 (+ donativo if you feel for it) you get 3 1/2 hours of classes and practical help and advice to improve your tango dancing in a room full of like-minded!!
No need to register, you can come alone (but of course try bring your favorite class partner with you;-), just blend in with the crowd.

=>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.
