Tuesday Night Tango in Palo Alto
ALERT!!
We are moving to a new location: Little House Activity Center, 800 Middle Ave, Menlo Park. The City of Palo Alto is requiring all tenants of the First Baptist Church to move.
8/15 will be our last event at the First Baptist Church. There will only be classes (7-9), no milonga. 8/22 we have classes 7-9, but no milonga at our new home, Little House in Menlo Park. Hopefully, the milonga/practica will be back 8/29.
Little House (Ballroom)
800 Middle Ave (Nealon Park)
Menlo Park, CA
Coming from El Camino Real on Middle Ave, drive past the tennis courts, and turn right into the driveway at the end of the park. Drive past the baseball field and turn right into the parking lot. Little House is at the far end of the parking lot.
Argentine Tango
Argentine Tango was born in the late 1800's in Buenos Aires, and has been changing and evolving ever since. It is a beautiful dance form that provides endless opportunity for improvisation and playfulness.
