Tango Feast

This coming weekend would have been Tango Feast summer edition, which has been running for over 10 years. And suddenly we felt that we would like to do something to mark the moment, to find a way to meet up despite the circumstances.

For a while now, Tango Feast has become a place to dance, learn and also to meet with friends, socialise and listen to music. We all love to dance embracing someone, and that is hard to match, and we all know pretty well that at the moment it is not possible for most of us, except a few who live with a partner, who also dances, and have the space at home.

But hey! Still we could enjoy some of the other aspects!! Chatting, Socialising or listening (attentively if you wish) to the music (rhythm, melody line, solos, the different instruments, etc)

So …. we will offer 2 online milongas and 2 workshop via Zoom,

(*) We are considering to play music in tandas of 3 (instead of 4) to a add bit more dynamic change to the DJ sets.


What is an online Milonga?!
We will meet on zoom (video conference), we will play music in Tandas with cortinas like in the milonga
Music will be played straight from the computer via internet, so the sound is pretty good
You would be able to catch up with others, see them and chat (by written messages) either privately to one person or to everyone
Listen to music, dance alone or if you are one of the few with your partner dance with them
You are welcome to join and or leave at any time
Grab a bite, have a drink and smile!!

Again, many thanks

Listen to each other voices!
Before the Milonga starts we have 30 min to arrive and talk to each other if you wish, as some of us are missing that too!

Registration - Booking
Simply fill in the form, with basic info and you will get the details to join on Zoom.

Book in advance,
At the moment we have capacity for 100 people/devices in our zoom account, but if more wish to join, it would be possible to upgrade it.. as long it is at least a couple of hours before the milonga starts - preferably the day before! So the earlier you book, the better.

The milongas are FREE of charge, however as a few suggested, we added the option to make contribution/donation for those who wish

Contribution (truly optional)
If you’d like to contribute for the online event, it would be very welcome and received with great thanks. We want to be clear that with no judgement this is a choice for you at this very strange time. Obviously this situation has different financial consequences for each of us, and above all it’s more important that we keep connected and share how we are and share tango to keep us sane and calm.
So for those of you that wish to make a donation, the details will be on your confirmation email once you book. For those of you who donating brings extra anxiety, please don’t feel like you need to do it, and you are more than welcome to participate because the most important thing is to get together.
