Tuesday Night Tango in Palo Alto
ALERT!!
We are moving to a new location. The City of Palo Alto is requiring all tenants of the First Baptist Church to move.
8/29 we will be back at the First Baptist Church. There will only be classes (7-9), no milonga. We will probably be at Etz Chayim shortly. Stay tuned.

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.
