About This Event
The 418 Project welcomes dancers of all experience levels to La Practilonga del 418 — hosted on the premier sprung hardwood dance floor in Santa Cruz!
Tango for Everyone
A Practilonga is a welcoming space to dance Argentine Tango following traditional milonga etiquette, but with freedom for experimentation, practicing technique, asking questions, and enjoying a relaxed dress code.
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Tango Class (Beginner & Intermediate) with instructors Yuki & Aaron.
8:00 PM – 11:00 PM: Social Practilonga dance with golden-age tandas by DJ Yuki.
Visiting The 418 Project: What to Expect
House guidelines to ensure a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone
We are committed to a safe, welcoming environment where everyone is treated with cultural and personal respect across all backgrounds and identities. We hold the highest standards for consent—in movement, touch, and conversation. Always check in first, honor boundaries, and ensure that consent is clear, voluntary, and ongoing.
As a community-run non-profit collective with a small staff, we cannot clean everything after every event. Please help us care for the space by picking up after yourself, placing recycling and compost in the bins provided, and treating every room with kindness so it remains welcoming for the next gathering.
We have a filtered water bottle refill station on-site, so feel free to bring a refillable bottle. All restrooms are all-gender, ADA-accessible, and located conveniently on the ground floor.
To ensure everyone can breathe and move comfortably—especially community members with chemical sensitivities and asthma—The 418 Project is a low-fragrance space. Please refrain from applying perfumes, scented colognes, or strongly scented lotions before attending.
As an artist-driven non-profit collective, we believe movement and art should be accessible to all regardless of financial circumstances. Many events feature sliding scale tickets, and we offer work-trade opportunities for community members who wish to volunteer in exchange for admission.
