Milonga Abierta is the Learning Tango style of milonga, on every First Saturday of the month. We have an "open" approach; open to new dancers, open to new music, and open to new ideas.
Apsley Community Centre, London Road, Apsley, Hemel Hempstead, Herts HP3 9SB. (directions).
Milonga Abierta is the ideal milonga for those who want to enjoy a perfect mix of gorgeous Golden Age traditional music, mixed in with the best of Neo and Alternative tango tracks throughout the evening.
We also have a lovely line up of live music, guest DJs and guest workshop teachers for these events - see Future Dates for details.
We're happy to have our next Specialist Guest Workshop as part of the Milonga Abierta; for May's event we have Mark Aston of Tango Moon teaching.
Tango Fantasia - Show Tango - focusses on developing gorgeous and visually-spectacular movements.
For this Tango Fantasia workshop, Mark will focus on using spectacular movements based on Volcadas and Barridas (leans and sweeps), dancing in a visually-expressive way, to alternative music.
To complement this workshop, we will have a Nuevo-focussed Milonga Abierta in the evening from 8-midnight, with the return of the popular DJ Titis K to play a gorgeous Blues / Alt Tango set in the evening.
Date and Time: Saturday 5th May, 6:30pm - 7:45pm.
Location: Apsley Community Centre, London Road, Apsley, Hemel Hempstead, Herts HP3 9SB. (directions).
Booking: available for workshop only, milonga only, or discounted group packages. See Booking.
