La Chispa - Wednesday Evening Tango Práctica

Chispas, for a change a práctica on a Wednesday evening (also next week) - just because Studio 100 is available by exception. Curious to see who shows up! 🔥Free entrance for you and you only if you bring someone with you (also a total beginner!) who has never been to La Chispa before! La Chispa Tango Práctica: 📍A práctica, not a milonga. No cortinas. 📍Less advanced/skilled/experienced dancers practicing with more advanced/skilled/experienced dancers - as was done in Buenos Aires in the Golden Age of tango. Two beginners practicing together usually means doubling the mistakes and perpetuating bad habits. Plain bare reality. This ‘knowledge transfer’ also allows the supposedly better dancers to test and transfer their understanding and skills. Teaching is learning twice. 📍Be careful giving feedback, be sensible. 📍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! 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! Free entrance for you (and you only) if you bring someone with you who has never been to La Chispa before! 🍷BYOD: Bring Your Own Drinks – and snacks! 🏫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 more experienced dancers supporting those with less experience—just as it was in the prácticas of Buenos Aires. There are no rigid structures, just a space for exploration, learning, and community. Abrazo, André, Asta, Becky, Iulia, Sabrina, Willem
