This is a horizontal space to practice the roles of followers and leaders in Argentine Tango.

It is a neutral space where fluid connections are made whilst dancing.


I was keen to provide a space for practising without the limitations that a class or a milonga may impose.


It could go like this: You arrive when you like, you come in (alone or with friends), you make yourself comfortable, you do your own warm-up/preparation (there will be some yoga mats), make contact with another dancer (cabeceo or something else), a brief discussion on what you both want to work on, agree to work on it or later or never, dance one song or ten, thank you very much and see you later, change partner!


As it is a Double Role dedicated practice space, it emphasises dancing the other role.  Occasionally, the role you usually dance can be practised too, as the brain sometimes needs respite and rebalancing!


Music will be more of a background affair, but some traditional tangos (maybe even in tandas and cortina!) will be played along with other mixes and songs. You are welcome to suggest some music there. 



If your friend/s or partner has not yet started doing both roles but would like to participate, they are very welcome!

"The dual role was a radically different place to experiment and dance with people committed to exploring dancing and connecting with others. It was a place to dance in a very unobserved setting where I felt I could try out, and repeat things several times and be met with thoughtful comments and subtle observations on adaptions to improve. I was surprised at how beneficial it felt for my following (my usual role) to dance with skilful leaders who wanted to try out new approaches, steps, and exercises. It was a place to play and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was great to step outside the tango conventions and have the freedom to unpick and talk, there was nothing performative about it, it was about being fully engaged in communicating about and through dancing."  Sarah
