What are Prácticas and Milongas?

Prácticas

In Tango, a práctica refers to a practice session where dancers come together to work on their dance skills in a less formal environment than a milonga (tango dance party). Unlike milongas, which are social events where the emphasis is on dancing and socializing, practicas are focused on learning and improvement. They provide a space for dancers to experiment with new steps, work on technique, and ask for feedback from more experienced dancers or instructors who might be present.

Milongas

In Tango, a milonga is also a social dance event or gathering dedicated to dancing tango, including its various forms such as traditional tango, milonga (the dance style matching the milonga music genre), and vals (waltz-style tango). These events are where dancers of all levels come together to enjoy tango music and dance in a social setting, often following specific cultural etiquettes and traditions such as the “cabeceo” for inviting partners to dance.

Milonga Etiquette:

  1. No teaching, no criticizing.
  2. No lifts.
  3. No unsafe figures.
  4. Leave the figures for shows at home
  5. No loud talking.
  6. No soliciting.
  7. Stay in your lane and move forward in Line of Dance.
  8. Move up and fill gap in front of you.
  9. Use Cabeceo and accept refusals. 
  10. Keep eyes up to avoid collisions, both gents and ladies.
  11. Apologize regardless of who is at fault in case of collisions.
  12. Shower, brush teeth before milonga. Dry sweat between tandas.
  13. Ladies, feel free to ask men to dance with you in Calgary!
