Hello dear dancers,
There's plenty of tango this week! Tonight, come drop-in to the beginner-plus & intermediate classes in Ashland. Then get your groove on at Practica on Thursday. Dance the night away at the magical Milonga Alegría Saturday, January 17. And then if you wake up Sunday morning and just can't get enough tango, you are invited to come drop-in to the Beginner class at the Annex Dance Studio. All are welcome! Read on for all the details.
Last month's Milonga Alegría was delightful with over thirty people on the floor. Let's keep that energy going for the first milonga of the new year with special guest DJ Jazmine.
What: Milonga Alegría
When: Saturday, January 17, from 7:30-10:00pm
Where: Annex Dance Studio in Medford
202 N. Central Ave in the old Elks Lodge next to the Copper Plank
How much: $10 to $20 sliding scale
Free beginner's lesson from 7:00-7:30pm with Morgan & Ben
No experience or partner necessary
DJ Jazmine: With years of tango in her body and a love for
listening deeply, Jazmine Dake is delighted to return to DJing! She’ll
be sharing traditional tango orchestras chosen with care, curiosity, and
a hint of sparkle. Her wish is to support connection, playfulness,
flow, and an ease that lingers on the floor.
Please also mark your calendars for the upcoming Milonga Alegría dates, every third Saturday of the month so February 21 and March 21!
