LOS CÓDIGOS MILONGUEROS:* To ensure a safe and successful event, we highlight these essential códigos for each dancer to review: • El Cabeceo ~ Invitations to dance are initiated through eye contact from a comfortable distance. Leads will be seated on side, follows on the other. Verbal invitations or inching close to steal someone's gaze is inappropriate. • El Abrazo ~ Stay connected with your partner by maintaining a close-embrace. Keep your feet near the floor to ensure a safe dance floor. Save your high boleos and other large, open movements for another venue. • La Cortina ~ Cortinas are used to clear the dance floor between tandas. All dancers should return to their seats to help create an uninhibited line of sight across the room. Refrain from initiating the cabeceo during the cortina. Instead, take a moment to relax in your seat, listen to the opening notes of the next tanda, and choose your partner accordingly. • La Ronda de La Pista ~ Respect the line of dance and be aware of the dancers around you. Before entering the floor, make eye-contact with the leader you wish to enter in front of. Keep the ronda moving forward by closing gaps between the dancers in front of you. Stay in your lane and avoid passing other couples or crisscrossing around the floor. * Los Códigos borrowed from Amy Allison's Milonga Abrazos. FAQs Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
