Chicago Tango Project Practica
The longest running practica in Chicago!
The practica is where you can practice what you have learned in class and ask questions about particular movements you might be working on. It is not a class but it is not a milonga (social dance) either. It is a relaxed atmosphere where you can gain confidence in your dancing before going out to the milongas. This practica is open to tango dancers of any level and any style. Attendees of the practica are not required to be taking our classes, which creates a diverse practice atmosphere. Dancers who come to the practica always switch partners and exchange ideas.
Day: Thursdays
Time: 8:00-10:00pm
Cost: $10 includes practica and refreshments
$5 for students registered for our classes
Instructors: Misha Goro and Sarah Graff
Information for Students
• No partner required. We rotate partners in every class.
• No street shoes allowed on the dance floor. Please bring dance shoes to class or comfortable shoes with leather soles. Please do not wear shoes that will slip off of your feet while dancing. Women can wear high heels if they are comfortable for dancing (fit well and are flexible for moving the feet).
• Strong perfumes or colognes are not recommended. You will be dancing with different people and someone might be allergic.
• Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move. It is not necessary to wear work-out gear but be sure you can dance in whatever you wear to class.
• If you need information on anything tango related in Chicago please visit the Tango Noticias website (www.tangonoticias.com). Tango Noticias is a Chicago-based tango newsletter with a calendar of all the milongas and special events taking place in Chicago.
