The Wednesday Night tango practica starts Sept 16

Hello everyone,
The Wednesday night tango practica starts up again this Wednesday, Sept 16.

This is a time and place for you to practice what you have been taught. It is a casual and comfortable environment where you can just practice and not worry about holding up the dance floor.

If you cannot practice at home then join us on Wednesday night to work on becoming a better dancer.

You can:
-Go over your notes from your lessons
-See if you can connect with the person you are dancing with
-Work on one movement so that you will have something new to add in your dance at the milongas
-Work on exercises to make you aware of your balance and to improve your movements
-Ask for help if you need some assistance

EDAM Dance Studio, 303 East 8th Avenue, Buzz #02
8:15 – 10:15pm

Wendy

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.
