The practice exists to provide space to experiment and try things learnt in classes/courses before trying to dance them in the milonga. Line of dance is relaxed and unlike on the social dance floor you can try something, stop, figure out what went wrong and try it again! The dancers who regularly come along range in experience from recent beginners to people who have been dancing for years. The practice has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, especially nice if you aren’t yet feeling so confident on the social dance floor yet. Most often the music we play is by Di Sarli, D'Arienzo, Calo, Fresedo or Tanturi and we try to play some specials towards the end. The name of the orchestra that is playing is written on the whiteboard - The reason for doing this is that it is an easy way for people, if they want, to get to recognise the different orchestras and to get an idea of the music you like to dance to. We also have free tea and coffee (a unique, added bonus) and biscuits.

At 8.00 the floor is open to all. If you are working on something that has been taught before and you catch us in a spare moment we are happy to answer tango questions, offer some advice or help you figure out what’s going wrong. You don't have to come with a partner, though of course you can if you want to. Quite often there is an imbalance of either leaders or followers especially at the beginning of the evening, so if you have something in particular you want to work on, it may be worth finding a partner in advance. There is a little car park to the side of the hall, and also some bike parking too. Please lock everything securely - you may wish to bring your bike into the hallway and lock it there.
