【Tanguisimo Sunday Theme Milonga】"Eyes Wide Open" – Eye Contact Night!

“Cabeceo”, or “Eye Contact”, is a traditional way of inviting for a dance in the milongas. When you ask for a dance by “cabeceo”, there are no words needed, just communicate by nodding or tilting your head. It’s an interesting way that is used in some milongas around the world, especially in Argentina. On April 18th, let’s try it with Eyes Wide Open in Tanguisimo!

【Tanguisimo Sunday Theme Milonga】 Every 3rd Sunday of the month
Time: April 18th, Sunday, 7:30-11:30PM
Venue: Tanguisimo Tango Space, 7F-4, No. 169, Sec. 4, Zhong-Xiao East Road, Taipei
Entrance: NT250 including free drinks
Code: Ladies wearing beautiful make-up
DJ: Stacy will play music that recently brought back from Buenos Aires

Tips for Eye Contact:
- "Cabeceo" comes from the spanish word "cabeza” - head, means inviting a dance by nodding or tilting your head.
- There will be more light on that night than usual so that you can see clearly.
- Listen carefully when a set begins to make sure you feel like dancing, then start to look at the one you want to dance.
- Keep your eyes wide open! When you see each other, man slightly nod or tilt your head like saying “would you like to dance?”; when lady nods back the invitation is completed!
- You go to the dance floor and ready to dance. If you two are far away, the lady can remain on the seat until the man approaches you.
- When you see someone inviting you but you don’t feel like dancing, you can just turn your head and look at other places.
- Men can approach closer to the one you want to dance with and then do the cabeceo, if she is far away.

Reminder:
- The cabeceo is used in some milongas around the world, especially in Argentina. We hope that Taipei dancers can practice it in this month’s Sunday theme milonga and to have fun!
- Cabeceo is not the only way. In Tanguisimo, you can always invite with the way you like.
