Free + Milonga + Special Theme

Tuesday 7/1/14  Freelonga- Canada Day

Tuesday 10/26 Freelonga- Le Bal des Vampires

You know that if Dracula danced it would be tango. Close embrace brings you so much closer to the neck ... ;o)

Celebrate the ultimate union of seduction and drama: vampires and tango. Live the fantasy for one evening- dark, mesmerizing and dangerous. Not be mention all the great vampire themed music that we will be mixing in among the classical tango.

Wear black, red, fangs, a cape or anything vampire related (zombie, monster or other Hallowe'en related good too) ...  for free admission to the milonga.

Tuesday 6/22 Freelonga- Summer Solstice

Celebrate the longest day of the year, and let's encourage the warm weather to finally get here. We'll be mixing in some music with a summer or warm weather theme. 

Wear yellow or anything sun or summer related: hawaiian shirt, shorts, bathing suit, surf board ...  for free admission to the milonga.

Tuesday 4/13 Freelonga- Tax Relief Night

Taxes are due this week; so, anyone can use a little economic assistance right now. Dance away your woes and we'll be mixing in some music with a monetary theme. Thanks to Dave for suggesting the theme.

Wear black to mourn what you owe, green to celebrate your refund, or anything to do with taxes, money or government for free admission to the milonga.

Tuesday 2/16 Freelonga- Mardi Gras

Yes, Mardi Gras just happened to fall on our night; so, what a great excuse for a party! We'll be playing our normal classical and alternative mix, and of course adding in some music with a Mardi Gras and Carnival theme.

Wear something Mardi Gras-esque ie. masks or beads, or wear anything in the Mardi Gras colours: purple, green, and gold (justice, faith and power), for free admission to the milonga.

Tuesday 11/24 Freelonga- Pirate Night

On Nov 24, 1818, Hippolyte Bouchard, an Argentinean pirate, occupied Monterey, claiming it for Argentina.  Monterey use to have a "pirate" milonga in November, but haven't in a couple of years. So we'll continue the tradition. Thanks to Andrea for suggesting the theme.

"Hippolyte de Bouchard, or Hipólito de Bouchard (January 15, 1780^{[citation needed]}, or 1783^[1]– January 4, 1843), was a French and Argentine sailor and corsair who fought for Argentina, Chile, and Peru. During his first campaign as an Argentine corsair he attacked the Spanish colonies of Chile and Peru, under the command of the Argentine-Irish Admiral William Brown. He was the first Argentine to circumnavigate the world. During his voyage around the world he blockaded the port of Manila, recovered, in Hawaii, an Argentine privateer which had been seized by mutineers, occupied Monterey, California, raising the Argentine flag there and claiming for that country, for a short time, a small portion of the future State of California."

We'll be mixing in some music with a nautical theme. Wear something  pirate related to get in to the milonga for free: eye patch, bandana, parrot  ;o).

 

Tuesday 9/22 Freelonga- Secret Agent Night

You've seen tango in films like "True Lies" and "Mr and Mrs Smith": the glamour, the danger, the dramatic music.

Come celebrate the connection between tango and international espionage with a mix of classical tango and music from all your favourite spy films. You know that you've always envied that combination of charm and ruthlessness: Bond, the Avengers, Maxwell Smart, the Saint, Austin Powers  .... Wear something spy related to join in the fun: tuxedo, evening gown, trench coat, gadget watch, shoe phone, water pistol ;o).
