Location

De Danswerkplaats | Amersfoort, UT

The best tango's, played by the best DJ's in the wonderful ambiance of De Danswerkplaats in Amersfoort. That's Milonga La Roca. The place to go to for every really die-hard dancer. Normally every 3rd saturday of the month, but..... this month on the SECOND SATURDAY!!!. Easy to reach by train and car (free parking), good restaurants close by, vibrant atmosphere next to the old town. The music stops earlier if less than 15 people are left. And if very busy at 02 we might add another 2 tandas or so.
Entrance 12 euro.
DJ Celine is a wonderful artist in combining her tandas. She knows what you need as a dancer and is a well known DJ in the international scene. Unfortunately she lives too far to ask her to the Netherlands on a regular basis, but what a pleasure to have her here this month!
PLEASE bring your own waterbottle. There's a bar for other drinks. You can, if you want, pay via pin.
At 23.30 (not a minute earlier!) you can join in without reservation, entrance 5 euro.
Reservation: I have max 120 dancers, balanced. Make your reservation via tangokalender. If full, you can sent me an email or PM. Last minute often people cancel, so there's still hope.... If you sign up solo: it's a balanced event so you might end up at the waitinglist until we're balanced again.
As you know La Roca is a place for Close Embrace/Ronda lovers. It's always extremely crowded. So i do expect (and so do all dancers) that you dance as tight as you can and no movements with a foot in the air. And ask with Mirada/Cabaceo. When entering the dancefloor (leaders and followers) make sure the leader behind you gives you space to enter. So please make contact first. Dear leaders, choose where to dance: inside or outside ronda. No changing of lines please! You might think you are good at changing lines when there's space, but think of the dancers where you suddenly appear where they thought they had some space. Don't give your follower big and/or upward movements. Followers, keep your feet on the ground and only follow the lead so your partner can control the complete movement of the couple.
So we can keep the floor nice and 'quiet' and everybody will have a wonderful La Roca.
If all of this isn't your way of dancing, i absolutely would like to meet you at other milonga's but consider La Roca as not your place to go to.
