Directions to the Eton Tea Dances

 

 

Music selection

We pay particular attention to the choice of music at the Tea dances. Charles plays music in conventional Tandas throughout the afternoon. You can expect a structured and rich variety of the very best classic Tango, Milonga and Vals plus a little modern Tango music. Whether you’re a die-hard Tango enthusiast or a relative newcomer, Charles aims to play music that you will enjoy dancing to.

 

Floorcraft & etiquette

At our dance events all dancers are expected to respect the best standards of floorcraft and consideration for other dancers. This helps everyone to enjoy an evening of pleasant dancing. Please follow these guidelines:

 

Please do:

Keep a constant flow of movement around the dance floor.

Dance in a constant lane around the dance floor, never the middle.
Keep your distance to the couple in front, and avoid overtaking.
Apologise briefly if you bump into other dancers.
Dance with one partner for each “Tanda” of 3 or 4 tracks.
Leave the dance floor during the “Cortina” between Tandas.

 

Please don't:

 

Step or travel against the line of dance.
Dance in one spot and obstruct the line of dance.
Use steps or movements that risk kicks or collisions.
Stop during the dance to chat.
Make sudden changes of direction or use excessive space.

Teach each other steps.

Stand or sit obstructing the dance floor.
