Come and join every Thursday evening the Tango Practica at the Shawn Gardener Dancing studio located in the heart of downtown Tigard.
Join us to dust off the cobwebs if you are a returning dancer or learn about Tango if you are new!
Between 7:30 and 8:00pm there is an intro Argentine Tango class taught by Instructor Joe Ferreira.
No partner, experience or special shoes needed. Joe will walk you through the tango basics offering some different techniques each week. This 30 min. intro class is a teaser of what Argentine Tango is all about.
The practica is held in the very elegant Blue room with beautiful sprung hardwood floors, club style lighting and an amazing sound system. On occasion the practica is held outdoors when the weather is just right on our professional grade covered, raised dance floor.
The practica is DJed by local community dancers and/or local Djs.
BAR OPEN for a short time serving beer, wine and cider.
West Coast Swing social is also running next door in Champions room 8:30-11PM. Enjoy both social nights for the same low cover.
Come as you are – ALL are welcome!

This practica started in 1999 at Clay Nelson’s old dance studio in Garden Home. It moved to its old location at the Viscount on Burnside in 2004, and Sept 2012 moved to current location on Sandy.
Bill Alsup (usually) and Megan Pingree (occasionally) host an informal basic techniques class at 12:00 noon, then the practica continues until 4:00pm.
Bill and Megan do a wonderful job of creating a comfortable and informal space for dancers of all levels, including newcomers who may find dancing at more formal milongas intimidating. Your skill levels or “how you look” don’t matter.
Owner Sarah has given the new studio a modern art-deco-ish flare. There are large West-facing windows that make the space feel bright and airy, which helps the Sunday practica provide its non-threatening environment for dancers of all levels and ages.
Admission is $7, which includes the lesson, light snacks, and beverages. [Cost is higher when the class is taught by visiting tango masters]
