I have set some intentions for our practica as we begin the new year. Please take the time to go over these when you get a free minute:
🪷 Please sign in at the welcome table for every WET event. Write how you paid next to your name (cash, venmo). You’ll see Lyndon or I’s friendly face and if you don’t, please come find one of us before you start an event to make sure you’re checked in.
🪷 When using Venmo to pay for the practica at Endless Sound Cellars, simply use the emoji 🍷
🪷 Intention Bowl! Please note that there will be a bowl at the sign in table for you to set an intention or goal for your practice each practica. No need to write your name, but please do take a moment to think about what you’d like to work on each time and place 1-3 words in the bowl. Share them with your practice partners throughout the night if that feels helpful to you. I will be using our community’s intentions to guide my teaching in that season.
🪷 All levels are welcome at the practica! This is the most valuable time to learn how to navigate a tango social for beginners. You can dance as much or as little as you wish. Watching is also allowed. No tolerance policy for discrimination- we welcome everyone and encourage everyone to practice.
🪷 The practica is intended for practicing. This is your time and you are encouraged to maximize it for that purpose.
🪷 I play tandas and cortinas as an option to practice how they are used in a social setting. You are welcome to use this format to practice the social aspects of the dance, including cabaceo, but you do not have to. Practica is an informal space. You are welcome to enter or exit dancing mid-tanda, share more than one tanda with a practice partner, or stop and study a movement with your dance partner during the tanda. This is practice time, not a formal milonga.
🪷 While we do keep a ronda flowing during practica in the main space, you are welcome to use the foyer, or the back area by the tables to practice a movement or drill. The entire winery is available to us and I encourage you to use every nook and cranny to practice.
🪷 No need to dress to impress! If you love wearing your favorite tango skirt, go for it! However, the practica is not formal and we have zero expectation you look or dress a certain way. My only request is that you consider proper hygiene, please and thank you, as we are dancing together in a small space.
🪷 The event space is setup to have a social section on purpose. I want you to come for more than a dance. Please use this space to land the plane after work, meet up with friends, talk or study tango at the table, encourage each other and meet friends in your tango community. It’s also an extra challenge to learn to cabaceo in busy environments. Give it a try for practice!
🪷 I am available for dances and consultation. If you’d like to work on something specific, don’t be afraid to ask me for a dance with a specific goal in mind. If a movement isn’t working with you and your partner, feel free to call me over - I can help you troubleshoot it.
🪷 The practica is YOUR space. If you’d like to see something happen with that time, please let me know. You get to set the culture, the mood and the norms. It’s as casual or formal as you make it. Remember, you are the tango community! You are the tango 💪
🪷 If you have questions, concerns, anxieties -whatever- please do reach out to me. I want all WET events to reflect our tango community and your needs. I am available by DM or email and I LOVE getting together with my fellow tanguerxs to hear your ideas, wants and needs.
Happy practicing, see you on the dance floor everybody 💞
