TangoUtopia

The Third Friday Milonga at Open Eye (June 21st) is back, with the intro class and music provided by Cecil Ho. The lesson is FREE and the milonga costs a mere $5 (8 PM lesson; dancing from 9-11:30 PM). For more information, please visit the Triangle Tango website.

Of course you can always come out TONIGHT to the weekly Thursday práctica at Triangle Dance Studios ($5, 7-9:30 PM). It’s a great place to meet new people and work on those ochos, giros, paradas, and pasadas we learned in class.

Before the new series of classes starts on July 8th, we will host a Student Milonga on Monday, June 24th at 7 PM ($5) to help you learn what to do and what to expect at the next milonga.

Please visit our Meetup site or LIKE Tango Utopia on Facebook to get more updates about tango happenings in the Triangle and beyond.
