The Venue
Ringcross Community Center has a long-established tradition of welcoming groups for various parties.
2 minutes away from Caledonian Road and the tube station and easy access to buses.
The Centre has a large hall of 210 m2, high ceilings and parquet floor. There is loads of natural light and air as it has windows across two sides of the hall.
I'm sure we will feel right at home.

On Friday evening, before the milonga, we propose to share a meal at a restaurant right in front of the evening milonga venue. It's an Italian place called Eataly. As I will have to make a group reservation, you'll be asked in the registration form if you intend to join.
On Sunday morning we propose a group visit to the Tate Modern Museum, for a guided tour of one of the running exhibitions (tba).

Julija and I met Adriana in Brussels in 2017, at the early start of Totally in Tango. We were fascinated by her ideas and propositions. It took many years, but now we found a space to collaborate.
Adriana Pegorer is an interdisciplinary dance artist. In 2024, she started the Double Role London Practica, a horizontal space where fluid connections are made while dancing without the limitations that a class or a milonga may impose.
She belongs to the first generation of Contact Tango practitioners. Her training in Tango Argentino and Contact Improvisation began in the 1990s and she curated the first International meeting in 2012 near Berlin.
Adriana has taught Tango Argentino on her own since the beginning, dancing both roles also at Milongas, driven by necessity and …inspiration!
She has devised, performed, and produced experimental works mixing choreography with improvisation, dance videos and new technology. She holds a BA in Dance and Related Arts (2001) and an MA in Dance Anthropology (2024). Her work has been shown in Argentina, USA, Canada, Buenos Aires, China and Europe.
Her academic writings include "Performing Gender in Milongas of Buenos Aires" (2008),"Tango Diferente: Exploring Tango Argentino and Contact Improvisation at Ponderosa", (2013); "It takes two to win"(2015), "Why Contact Tango?" (2020) [also translated in Spanish and German] and "Female Tango Leaders"(2024).

Travel information after Brexit
Citizens of European countries who are used to traveling to the United Kingdom using a national ID card rather than a passport can no longer do so.
A passport is now required to cross the border. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of arrival in the United Kingdom. EU citizens can spend up to 90 days in the United Kingdom without a visa.
Next to the above, you have to apply for an 'ETA' (Electronic Travel Authorisation). You can read about it here. You can apply through the ETA app or online. The cost is 16 Pounds. It takes about 2-3 working days to obtain the ETA. It should not cost more than 16 Pounds.
