Tango-OK February 2013 Calendar


Update of Duration of Practicas Every Wednesday @ The Fridge Dubai => 7pm to 9pm


Picture by Alexander Zabala, tangoimage.com

Please note the change in duration of the Wednesday Practicas from 7pm to 9pm, instead of 10pm.

Details:

When: Every Wednesday 
Where: The Fridge Dubai (www.thefridgedubai.com)
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Cost: 30AED per person

Practicas are traditionally used as an occasion to learn, practice, experiment and improve your Tango in a casual environment.  Unlike the milonga, the codes and ethics of social Tango are not necessarily observed.  These codes are shared and learnt through conversations and practice here at the Practicas.

Dancers of all levels (as young as 1-day old!), can comfortably attend the Practicas, where instructors Oliver & Lin are readily waiting to answer all your questions.

Come and join us!
