Tuesday
"Bailongo De
Los Martes"
at the "The Tango Room"
9:00 PM - Midnight
A
space to dance or socialize with one
hundred of your best Tango friends.
Whether you are into ‘milonguero’,
‘tango nuevo’, or simply want
to pick up a few moves, the bailongo
(‘a place to dance’ in the
Argentinean slang called lunfardo) has
all the elements to make for a highly
satisfying night of tango: a variety
of styles and levels, a number of good
dancers (with a decent gender balance)
willing to dance with everyone, and
a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
The
night is DJ'd by Edmundo, who brings
a wealth of knowledge and good taste
to the rare and fine art of playing
great, danceable tangos, milongas and
vals from the 30's through today.
