I dont quite know how to express how valuable this is but it is so valuable. A lot of problems can be solved independently in a practica. You dont have to wait for someone to tell you what to do, you can experiment and try different things, without the pressure of having to perform at a milonga. The practica is where you'll really get to integrate what you've learned that day, ask questions in the moment, work on your technique, and practice the material without the pressure of a formal social dance environment.
Practica DJs will play the same music as in the afternoon workshops. Tango Immersion is open to dancers of all levels, as long as you have some tango experience. If youre interested in improving your dancing and delving deeper into the world of tango, this immersion week is for you.
