Directions to the Christmas Eve Milonga

 

Music selection

 

The choice of music makes all the difference at a Milonga, so we pay particular attention to this at the Eton Milongas.

 

As usual, you can expect a rich variety of the very best Tango, Milonga and Vals played in structured Tandas, and there'll be just a few non-Tango tunes too 'cos it's a Christmas Eve party!

 

The music will be selected with loving care; each and every track chosen for being wonderful for dancing. The selection is adjusted constantly to suit what’s happening on the dance floor.

 

 

 

Floorcraft & etiquette

At our dance nights 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.
