Argentine Tango Practica
SEPTEMBER 6 & 13 WE WILL BE HOSTING PRACTICA AT THE MONTE CRISTO ROOM IN GERMANTOWN HILLS AS THE FLOORS ARE BEING REFINISHED AT THE CAC.
A weekly tango practica is offered every Sunday, at Contemporary Art Center of Peoria in the 2nd floor art gallery. Traditionally, a Tango Practica is offered for dancers of all levels who have received instruction and have desire to practice.
Admission is $5.00 per person. Please bring cash and exact change. Leaders and teachers volunteer their time. Money collected is a donation to Contemporary Art Center, located at 305 SW Water Street, in Peoria, Illinois. To enter, use the rear Commercial Street entrance. We depart from practica tradition in that we accept absolute beginners on the condition that they would be willing to attend our meetings regularly. Participation in the practica is a token of commitment to the organizers and instructors to a level that Argentinian tango requires when danced socially.
What to wear: Beginners should wear comfortable leather or suede dress shoes that fit tightly and enable the dancer to easily pivot on the ball of the foot. If a woman is comfortable in heels, they may prefer them. If one is not accustomed to wearing heels, then beginners may wish to wear flats. Sticky soled shoes, flip flops, rubber soled sport or running shoes or slipper-like shoes should not be worn. Light weight clothes that are tighter around the torso and loose below are best.
