Töölönlahti Summer Park event stage, In between of central library Oodi and Finlandia Hall
About the event
* 18–18.40 shared starter session: we'll review Argentine tango basics according to the need and wishes of the participants & go through a small step / figure to practice during the rest of the evening. We'll change both dance partners and dance roles.
* 18.40–21.30 open role lab practica: we'll continue the evening practicing and dancing, and new tango dancers may still ask the more experienced dancers for advice and help. Everyone is welcome to practice both dance roles or the role of their preference – although we do recommend trying out the other role as well, even though it was the very first time! :)
Argentine tango, vals and milonga is played from a ready-made playlist.
Bring your own water bottle! Right next to the stage there is a public toilet.
Location: Töölönlahti Summer Park event stage, right in between of central library Oodi and Finlandia Hall. Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XRemJTzW2ZEeWXSa9
The stage is outdoors under the open sky and not completely clean, so it's wise to take your slightly worse dancing shoes. You may also dance with any shoes that are comfortable and have a slippery sole – low heels or flat shoes work well when practicing both dance roles.
Free of charge! Please bring a friend too.
The event will be organised on Mondays in July, same location and time.
NOTE: If it rains, the event is cancelled.
