Practica Every Thursday

What is a Practica? It’s an informal event somewhere between a proper class and a formal Milonga. There is no structured tuition, but dancing with others and discovering for yourselves how steps work (or how they don’t) really adds to the tuition we get in class. Plus, you can always ask others for advice, as unlike in class or at a Milonga, there’s nothing to say you can’t stop mid-flow on the dance floor to debate a point.
The venue is “The West” (although the name is not on the front of the building) on the Falls Road. It has a good floor, with plenty of seating/socialising area in the bar. There is a dedicated car park behind it (either go in the back door and up one flight or walk round to the front door on the main road to get in – in the front door and just round to the right).
You can drop in/out of the Practica anytime, there’s no fixed “start”, but we’ll be there from 8pm-10pm+ on Thursdays. Price £2.  THE WEST

Tango in the Street

Tango in the street as part of Friday's Belfast Culture Night.

Members of the public watched enthusiastically as the sounds and dance of Buenos Aires was brought to the streets of Belfast.

The passion of the dancers prompted some members of the of
the public to 'have a go' Hopefully
this will encourage people to come along to our Tango lessons every Monday. Details can be found on the Blog.

Another Great Milonga

Last Night's Milonga was a great success. Great food, great company and great dancing. Everyone made the effort and dressed to impress.
 Set against the background of the river Lagan, the milongueros and milongueras danced to the stains of some excellent music, (well thought out Tandas which encouraged the dancing), to the early hours of Sunday morning. 

 
 
I'm sure everyone who was there would agree that it was a most enjoyable evening. Roll on October's Milonga!
