Stokie's Tango
Workshops, Milongas
and Práctilongas

We look forward to welcoming you to a whole host of different Tango experiences at Stokie's.

Workshops:
We hold regular afternoon workshops with teachers from all over the globe. Full details for these events are announced through our mailing list (you can subscribe by sending us an email here), our Facebook Group and here on our website.

Milongas:
These are social dances. We play a wide mixture of music, around 75% of which will be traditional. Music is presented in the traditional tanda/cortina format.

We are in the process of arranging bi-monthly milongas. These will usually be preceded with an afternoon workshop. These events will take place on a Saturday.

Again, for full details for these events are announced through our mailing list (you can subscribe by sending us an email here), our Facebook Group and here on our website.

Práctilongas:
A Práctilonga is an easy stepping stone into the magical world of milongas. Many Tango dancers get nervous at the thought of visiting a milonga. It seems so serious and intimidating. To prove that this is not the case, and to help alleviate any nerves that dancers may have we run a Práctilonga on the first Tuesday of every month.

Less formal than a milonga, but with a very similar structure, it gives a taste of what a milonga feels like, while being informal at the same time. There may be a brief musicality class at the start of the evening, but the focus for the night is mainly on dancing.

As opposed to the etiquette of a milonga, teaching, learning and discussing in quiet corners is not only allowed.. it is actively encouraged
