Christmas Practilonga/ Court House Ballroom milonga/ guest teachers / practicas
Christmas Practilonga: Friday 19th December, 7pm to 10.20 pm, St Mary's Church Hall, St Mary's Road, Leamington Spa, CV31 1JW
To finish up 2025, we will have a most informal, and cheerful event at St Mary's. Andy Adamson will DJ for us, so the music will be mainly "traditional" and perfect for the occasion. Tango dancers of all levels will be welcome.
Cost: £8 cash at door (£5 for students with student Id)
"Christmas" implies there will be a bit of tinsel and a tree, and the nibbles may be in season. Some mulled wine, but also some unmulled, and some fine cordials, but BYOB if you prefer. Friendly good cheer in abundance.
"Practilonga" , in this context, comes from "practi" & "longa". "Practi" meaning perfection is not required or expected, but is no harm, and certainly those who have been hesitant about coming to milongas are most welcome (so please tell your students if you have some!). "Longa" implying that it will have the underlying structure of a traditional milonga, with tandas, and with the usual codes of practice encouraged but not watched out for.
We expect 20-30 people, but can cope with more. If you are on FB and can click on "going" for https://fb.me/e/3VsriS9Bq, if you expect to, it would help arrangements.
