Join us for a milonga (tango social dance) with live music by Seth Asarnow on bandoneon and Marcelo Puig on guitar and voice. These outstanding musicians have a repertoire of hundreds of classic tangos, valses, and milongas. Most pieces are from the Golden Age of Tango (1935-1952). There is plenty of seating for folks who would rather listen than dance. You are welcome to bring drinks from the bar into the ballroom. All ages welcome.
This is a queer-friendly event where all genders are welcome to lead and follow in the dance.
With DJ’d music by Homer Ladas! Homer plays a mix of traditional tango and alternative contemporary music.
