Milonga Cristál - Grand Opening with LIVE MUSIC

Event link: https://www.facebook.com/events/772881216095281

A short time from now, come 19th of September, 
Milonga Cristál will be a dance to remember. 

Surrounded by facets of Amethyst and Citrine, 
Come trace Tango figures on marble floors pristine. 

What's better than music to make it all magical, 
By our friends Mark and Thiago, from Open Classical! 

Wear shades of ruby, emerald, sapphire or gold, 
The brighter the better, I say, be bold! 

So come if you can, I promise there's more! 
Let's dance a tanda, see you on the dance floor!

Farewell Sandunga...

Hello Tangueros,

I regret to inform you that as of today, just one month shy of its third anniversary, Milonga Sandunga is no more. The studio owner has decided to schedule another event in its place. I apologize for the late notice, but I was only just informed of the decision this evening.

However, this piece of news does not come without a bright side. I am currently in the process of arranging an absolutely FABULOUS new venue for the "third Friday" milonga. I will announce the details once the final arrangements have been made.

Stay tuned for more information, and keep on dancing!

See you soon,

Melissa
