What is a tango practica?
As the name suggests, practicas are where dancers practise tango dancing, with accompanying music.
Tango milongas are a formal social event where dancers select various partners to dance. The etiquette of milongas make it impractical or impolite to converse and instruct student dancers. It is also considered impolite to stop mid-tanda. Milonga etiquette requires that the dancers keep in formation in lanes of a ronda moving anti-clockwise around the centre of the hall.
Compared to milongas, practicas are a casual event for dancers of various levels to discuss and dance. The ronda is not expected to be maintained and it is acceptable to stop and start during a song.
To summarise, a practica is:
- An informal space to practise tango
- a practise environment with tango music provided
- a more relaxed atmosphere compared to milongas
- a space that encourages the study of tango
