"The" place to try out tango stuff...and more!
Every Monday through Thursday, 18h-23h.
- 18h00 - 20h00: Aperitivo Tango with "Lounge - Tango" music.
- 20h00 - 23h00: Mixed traditional & modern classic Tango music.
The " Practica" is a very important link between the classes and the milonga. Like Carlos says: it is like the kitchen in the old days, where we always found ourselves exchanging ideas, "filosofeando", eating and drinking with our family.
We offer 4 weekly 'Practicas' to our students, as always free admission for everyone who's signed up in the current trimester courses, with music from all styles of tango.
Admission :
Pasionales : Gratis.
Non-Pasionales : 5€ Per Person, Per Practica.
Note : During the " course-breaks" Practicas will not take place:
February 13th - 16th,
March 15th,
March 19th to the 22nd

As an additional workout to speed up tremendously your learning and to stay in shape, Pasional offers:
"Women Technique / Dynamics of Movement" and "Men Tango Training"' workshops that will help you focus on your role as a leader or follower, integrate the movements and dynamics, find your own musicality, rhythm and style. On the men side, in addition, we will work on learning the "codes", a bit of history, the right attitude and the psychology of tango.
Admission :
1 Workshop : Pasionales: 15€ Per Person | Non-Pasionales: 18€
Package of 3 Workshops : 40€ Per Person | Non-Pasionales: 45€

- 21h00 - 2h00 , on Saturdays during the Milonga
The History and Why :
Carlos' experience is that one has to like a place in order to go and do whatever is that you feel like doing!
After living in Rome he started to play with the idea of an aperitivo for the students, to have a familiar place to go after work and decompress, have a quick bite while tasting some nice wine and if you get in the mood to dance a few tangos.
He doesn't like the pressure to have to go somewhere to dance, it is just like en Buenos Aires, we like to go to the milonga to decompress, to socialize, to meet different people or just to have a bite or a drink, and "if" we get in the mood or "motivated" by a tango or a woman, then we dance ;-)
This is something that most dancers from "outside"
don't understand: "we are not in the milonga to workout" you have to look at this from an artist point of view: "when you get inspired you create"!
Getting back to the subject, given Carlos' fond for cooking and experimenting with food he wanted to produce this for years but reality strikes! and you can't do it all. Luckily we created a great fusion with Marty and Kathy that will allow us to finally catalyze this idea!

Our New Space to gather with Kathy and Marty
"The Tasting Room" !
Some people study and some are just born to be, Martha it is one of those, she was born a Master Chef, she has a very extended experience, both on her own and managing a 5 stars Restaurant.
We wanted to do it right from the beginning and we believe in quality and high standards
that is why we will have with us from January 15th Kathy & Marty running The Tasting Room.
They will surprise you and delight you every-time! We are so very happy they have decided to join us in our project !!!!

Late News, but nonetheless...I'm very Proud of my...
Angels ! on December 11th 2011...
Rosa (who've created the choreograph) and the girls did a great job on their first performance together, with a very short time notice but with a lot of dedication and commitment from our very mixed levels' pupils, from left to right they are: Anna, Anastasija, Aysegül, Rosa, Lena and Cigdem, oh yes! the lucky guy in the center it's me ;-)
This Party marked the end of our last trimester, the international "Day of Tango", Lenna's "Tango Fashion Show" and most importantly: Rosa's Birthday Celebration!!!
It was a great way to finish the Year, with a full house (as usual :-) surrounded by friends, pasionales and many new faces!
