We warmly welcome all to our milonga which is held on the 4th Saturday of each month.
At our milonga 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. In general we follow the pattern T(4)T(4)V(3)T(4)T(4)M(3) although if circumstances necessitate it (EG a significant inbalance of leaders and followers) we may sometimes switch playing Tango tandas of 3.
We will also aim to have a tanda display (technology permitting!)
At our milonga, we encourage use of the mirada/cabaceo for initiating dances and also ask that people demonstrate considerate floor craft by observing the etiquette of the ronda.
There will be a buffet at around 7pm to keep you all going (likely to include a combination empanadas, risotto parcels, bhajis, pizza and anything else I manage to rustle up) Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options will be 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. So far we haven't had any issues with this, but if do want to secure a place in advance just to be on the safe side you can do this by pressing the 'going' button, completing the booking form, or contacting me directly using the details below. Similarly, if you wish to reserve a table place for yourself or a group then you can also do this via the form or by contacting me directly.
