Sunday, Jan. 20 is a perfect afternoon to join us for the Opposites Attract practica at Café Duvall …  Not only has pre-registration already doubledd vs. the premier practica, but also - for the final week - Tango Reaction’s Sunday (and Wednesday) milongas (hosted by Somer Surgit & Agape Pappas) will be danced at American Tango Institute.

     Opposites  Attract  is  designed  to  enable  YOU  to  improve  YOUR  technique  and  confidence  for  social dancing  of  Argentine  tango.  A  partner  is  NOT  required,  altho’  YOU  may come and/or  practice  with  a  particular  person.  There  will  NOT  be  an  organized  class  but there  will  be  instruction  available  at  YOUR  request.  Opposites Attract  will  provide  a  non-gender  specific  friendly  environment  (i.e., men  and  women  each  may  either  lead  or  follow),  but  of  course  YOU  are welcome  to maintain  traditional  roles.  Opposites  Attract  …  as  in  “Women  are  from  Venus,  Men  are  from  Mars”©  but the  two  entwine  in  the  embrace  of  Argentine  Tango.   Music  (clean, fresh  orchestrations  primarily  of traditional compositions  plus  a  ‘musicality’ selection)  will  be  played  in  longer  sets  of  tango,  vals  &  milonga  songs  rather  than  in  tanda/cortina  format  to  enable
  concentration  of  effort  for  each particular  style.
