New hours: 5:00 to 8:00pm
Venue: Covered Picnic area next to the Cat's Social Club Restaurant and Children's Waterpark.
This is a casual and social dance so bring your friends and family to show them what this tango craze is all about.
-If the weather is inclement we will send out an email cancelling it.
-The 3 hour parking limit is stictly enforced until 7pm.
-The floor is cement, so please do not wear your good dance shoes. Shoes that are soft soled and that you can pivot in are good.
-Please be careful when leading or doing pivots and turns as we do not want any twisted knees. The floor closest to the restaurant is a bit rough.
-We are not allowed to have alcohol at the milonga.
So bring your water or beverage of choice to help keep you hydrated.
-This is a free event hosted by Lucio and Wendy for your enjoyment!
Te esperamos!

Wednesday night practice summer schedule
Hello everyone,
The Wednesday night tango practice is ongoing from May 27 to July 29 with the exception of July 1.
I am changing the format a little bit to include warm up walking exercises in the beginning, and mid way through the practica, someone will show a move which we can all explore how to do that move.
If the move is too advanced for some, then they need only do the first part of the move.
Come and join me Wednesday nights at
Edam Dance Studio, 303 East 8th Avenue
8:15 to 10:15
$5
for the love of tango we persevere…..
abrazos,
Wendy
p.s. bring some water to drink as the tap water there does not taste very good.

Wednesday Night Practica - April 8 and 15
Hello everyone,
The Wednesday Night Tango Practice will be extended to April 15.
So there are 2 Wednesday nights to come out and practice what you have learned, are learning, or still figuring out what it is that you thought you learned. If you don’t keep at it, you will forget it.
In the past we did some walking exercises, and for the next 2 weeks we will resume them again.
Edam Dance Studio, 303 East 8th Avenue, Buzz #02
8:15 – 10:15pm
$5\ Please pay upon entering, and remember to bring your own water as the tap water does not taste very good.
If you do not have a partner and you want to practice come to the practica anyways.
There are many things that both the follow and lead should be able to do on their own:
Backward ochos, controlled molinetes, pivots, walking to the strong and soft beats of the music, etc.
If you have problems doing these things while maintaining a good balance, then stop and figure out why.
These are all good things to practice every day. Take advantage of the space at Edam.

No practica March 4 and March 11 - Advanced Choreography series instead
Hello everyone,
Please be advised that the Wednesday night practica is cancelled for March 4 and March 11.
I am very excited to announce that we are having an advanced choreography series with Angel Coria for advanced tango dancers.
He is an acclaimed instructor and choreographer, and since he is in our city for a few weeks,
we are very fortunate to have him create a tango-danza choreography for us to learn.
The series will involve 2 sessions of choreographic experimentation In the first session students will learn a choreographic piece of 90 seconds using elements of tango-danza. In the second session, couples will perfom the piece and obtain feedback and evaluation Music will be provided and distributed to students for future practice.
There is no winner and there is no doghouse. So let's get together and have some fun!
Edam Dance Studio, 303 East 8 Avenue, Buzz #02
8:30pm to 10:30 pm please do not be late.
Doors will open at 8:15
Partners required
$30 per person per session
This will be quite a fun and very unique experience.
If you are interested in attending or have questions, please email me tangohat@shaw.ca

Wednesday Night Tango Practice Sept 3
Hello Everyone,
It feels like fall already, but lets hope that summer is still with us for a few more weeks!
The Wednesday Night Tango Practice starts up again next Wednesday, September 3.
Come and try out what you have been learning in the special workshops or in our local classes.
Don’t let the information or movements you paid to learn fade into never- never land!
If you have questions I am there to help you.
What to do if you don’t have a regular practice partner?
1. ask someone who attended the same workshop if they would like to practice.
2. ask someone in your class if they would like to practice with you on another night.
3. at the milongas, if you connect with someone, ask them if they would like to practice with you.
It does not always have to be the same person, you can have 1, 2 or 3 people to practice with.
Everyone has something they can work on, whether it be technique, navigation, structure, or musicality.
For those of you who might need your tango tweaked, or want your tango tweaked in private, I am available for private lessons.
Practice it at the practicas, and dance it in the milongas!
Edam Dance Studio
303 East 8th Avenue,
8:00 pm – 10:00pm
