Practica – social practice dance

First Saturday of the month

$15

St David’s Uniting Church Hall

9 Campbell St, Yarragon

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to 7 o’clock (or earlier to give yourself time to warm up!).

Bring a bottle of water.

It seems obvious but please use good hygiene, breath mints are a plus.

In summer I highly recommend you dress lightly.

Clothes & Shoes

What to wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that let you move.

Men, a loose suit trouser or something similar, together with a loose shirt.

Flowing skirts, Gaucho or Capri pants are a good option for the ladies.

Shoes
As a beginner, you don’t need any special shoes to dance tango, but shoes with a leather or suede sole are preferable. Shoes with a hard plastic sole may do initially.

Shoes must have a back on them. Flip flops or slipons are not dance friendly. You need to be able to turn easily on the ball of your foot as there is a lot of pivoting in tango, especially for followers, and if your shoes stick to the floor you might hurt your knees.

Ladies usually prefer heels (MUST have ankle STRAPS) anywhere from 1”- 4”, but you should wear whatever kind of heel you’re comfortable in.

When you have been dancing for a while and are sure you want to continue, dance shoes are a worthwhile investment for both women and men.

Please don’t be shy in contacting us if you need any more information.

Certainly don’t be shy in spreading the Tango news to anyone and everyone. Assure people that IF THEY CAN WALK, THEY CAN TANGO.
