**'Practilonga' is a fusion of the tango traditions of 'Practica' and 'Milonga':
The 'Milonga' element: music will be arranged in sets ('tandas') of 3 songs of the same type / syle followed by a cortina of 30 seconds (explained more in the Preparation lesson).
The 'Practica' element: beginners can get feedback and advice from Sophia and assistants. What better way to improve your dancing and connect with other students!
