Hi everyone,
We had a fabulous turnout of over 20 dancers at La Milonga Alegría on Saturday night. A big thank you to everyone for coming out to make the event such a success. There were many of our long-time community members, AND some brave new tango dancers who came to their very first milonga!
If you missed the milonga, there are more chances to dance this week at the group classes on Tuesday and at Thursday Practica. Check out all the details below and at
