COVID SAFETY MEASURES AND ENTRANCE POLICY ARE IN PLACE
Essentially, we will want to see evidence of negative LFT taken ON THE DAY of the event (preferably as close as to the start of the event as possible and registered with the NHS). Ideally, we would also like to see evidence of you being fully vaccinated against, or recently recovered from the virus.

As ever, we aim to bring you the warm and friendly atmosphere of a traditional neighbourhood milonga, and to keep you inspired by playing the best traditional tango music, mainly from the Golden Age, organised in tandas with cortinas (TTVTTM). We will also aim to have a tanda display (technology permitting!)

At our milonga, we ask that people show respect to others by observing the traditional códigos (in particular the use of mirada/cabaceo) and also by adhering to the etiquette of the ronda.
We will serve some food at around 7pm to keep you going. This will be along the lines of pizza/other light buffet type food. We will endeavour to make sure vegan and gluten-free options are available. If you prefer, you can bring your own food instead. Other light refreshments (tea, coffee and fruit juice) will be freely available. Feel free to BYOB. Wine glasses are available in the kitchen.

Parking is available on St Andrews Road and adjacent streets.
For comfort and safety, we want to keep numbers well below maximum hall capacity to around 70. If you wish to secure a place you can do this by pressing the 'going' button, completing the booking form, or contacting me directly using the details below.

If you wish to reserve a seat or table place you can also do so via the form or by contacting me directly.

NOTE TO OTHER ORGANISERS: We are more than happy for you to bring flyers and to promote your tango events at our milonga so long as you check with us first that these don’t clash with any of our own events.

DJ: Saretta.
Entry prices: £10
We will take cash payment on the door.

** COVID SAFETY – IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY TO AVOID INCONVENIENCE AND POSSIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT ON ARRIVAL **
PLEASE NOTE: Attendance at our event is entirely at your own risk. Esquina Porteña Tango and its hosts accept no responsibility for anyone contracting Covid 19 as a result of attending our event.

Whilst we cannot completely mitigate the risk of possible transmission of the virus at our event, we want to do what we reasonably can to minimise this. We ask all attendees to please help us in making the event as safe as possible by fully supporting the measures we put in place. Please bear in mind that even if you are fully vaccinated and/or have recently recovered from Covid it is still possible to become infected and transmit the virus to others asymptomatically. For this reason, and also given increased transmissibility, shorter incubation period, and continuing high case rates of the now dominant Omicron variant, we really need everyone to undertake an LFT ON THE DAY (the closer to the start of the event the better) in order to give us all the best possible reassurance against transmission of the virus.
Please be aware that our Covid Safety measures are kept under review and may be subject to alteration if it is deemed necessary.

** COVID ENTRY POLICY**

  • For your own safety as well as our peace of mind, we would prefer everyone to be fully vaxxed and boosted or recently recovered and would advise against attending unless this is the case. Ideally, we would like to see evidence of this.

** Regardless of vaccination/natural immunity status we will require you to show evidence of a negative LFT taken ON THE DAY of the milonga (ideally as close as possible to the start of the event as possible) The easiest way to evidence your negative LFT is to simply show us the confirmatory text message you receive from the NHS when you register your result via your phone.

We will have some spare LFT tests available just in case anyone arrives without any suitable evidence. However, given you would need to allow time to take the test and return a negative result before being permitted to enter the milonga, it's far better to make sure you do a test before coming to the milonga and bring the evidence with you.

LFT kits are freely available online and from most pharmacies, as well as from some test centres and libraries. Please note that you will need to obtain a ‘collect code’ before picking up your free test kit. This can be done quickly and easily by following the link https://test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/collect. Although earlier supply issues seem to have now eased, we would still advise obtaining your free test kit in plenty of time before the event.

Results can be registered by following the following link: https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result.

*** For track and trace we will require you to contact details so that we can contact you should we need to.

****If you have any covid symptoms, or cold or flu, we require that you don't attend even if you have tested negative. It's just not worth the risk!

PLEASE DON’T ATTEND UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY TO COMPLY WITH OUR ENTRY POLICY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR DIFFICULTIES IN RELATION TO THIS OR REQUIRE ANY FURTHER CLARIFICATION OR ADVICE THEN WE WOULD URGE YOU TO CONTACT US AS FAR IN ADVANCE OF THE EVENT AS POSSIBLE BY PRIVATE MESSAGE OR TEXT SO THAT WE CAN ADVISE AND ASSIST YOU. DETAILS OF CONTACT DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW.

*** OTHER MEASURES AND RECOMMENDATIONS***
• In these uncertain times we advise double-checking our event page before travelling just in case of any last-minute changes.

• Please use the hand sanitisers provided at regular intervals, particularly between dance partners, on entry to the venue, and before consuming food/helping yourselves to the light refreshments which are available.

• The wearing of face masks is voluntary. However, we would ask that you respect others who choose to do so and consider doing likewise if you do wish to dance with them. We will have some disposable face masks on the front desk which will be freely available just in case.

• We will need to ventilate the venue. Although we will have the heating on, we would recommend bringing something warm to pop on when not dancing just in case.

• We ask that people bear in mind that there may be people who prefer to dance just with one partner or in a social bubble. Observance of the mirada/cabaceo (something we have always encouraged anyway) is a simple and effective way in which we can all respect each others’ preferences.

• We strongly recommend everyone to take a couple of lateral flow tests in the week following our event. We advise taking the first one of these within 48 hours and before attending any other indoor events.

• Obviously, we ask you to contact us in case of a positive test following the event so we can alert others. Please rest assured that your name and details will be kept confidential from other attendees unless you advise us otherwise.
