[TSOM-Announce] MILONGA on Sunday September 1st

ROGUE TANGO will be performing at the Eagles Club---2507 East 25th Street, Mpls 55406---on Sunday, September 1st.  We play from 7 pm until 10pm and continue to DJ afterwards, until 11 pm.

The Eagles has a magnificent dance floor.  There is abundant FREE parking.  Home-cooked food is available and the drinks are generous and inexpensive.  

Rogue Tango will offer a delicious mix of tangos, waltzes, and milongas traditional and nuevo.  What better way to welcome in Labor Day than to spend it with us, dancing and partying the night away!

We are, also, excited to announce that we have recently recorded 11 tracks of our music that are in the mix/master process now.  The recording is quite astonishing as it is all acoustic and features a grand piano.  The dynamic range is exceptional and, I (Mateo), can say I am very very happy with the result.  We hope to release it soon!

Thank you, everyone, for your continuing support. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

[TSOM-Announce] Argentine Tango at the MN State Fair Labor Day Sept 2



Regular Group Lessons Class and Event Calendar
  • Tuesday: Beginning Tango 6:30-7:45PM - Intermed: 7:45-9 PM
  • Thursday: Advanced tango, 7-8:30PM 
  • Saturday: Beginning tango 10:00 - 11:30AM
  • Regular Saturday workshops in essential topics
Regular Public Dances
Join us this year as we demonstrate Argentine Tango again at the Minnesota State Fair! We have been given the time slot of Monday, Labor Day, September 2nd.  Times are 3:30 4:30 and 5:30, again at the Cosgrove stage outside the Education building.

Are you willing to help us promote tango? You do not need to be a great dancer to help out - we also need people to stand by the literature table, talk to people, get people to watch, get people to sign up, etc. We also want tango to look like something regular people do. Maybe we could all wear black and white, with a splash of red for a coordinated look. 

Last year KARE TV stopped by to film and interview us!
The stage is just outside the Education Building. if you would like other tango related literature there, bring it, drop it off, or send it with a friend. 

I have a limited number of tickets available so that you can get in for free for helping us put this on. 

Dance Boutique

Tango Boutique!

Clothes, shoes and accessories for the dancer.  Clothes that fit, stay on, have color, flow beautifully, with real style.  And great prices! Shoes from $40 to $150, including some great values in preowned.  All clothes under $100. Come and shop during parties and get an unbiased opinion from seasoned tango dancers. :)
Buenos Aires milonga

Buenos Aires!

Time to plan for 2019 if you want to go on my tour! The 201* trip will be in November to December. Pick the dates that work for you and let me know so I can arrange housing. I'll need to know for sure, with a deposit, by the end of July 2018. Limited space is available, so that I can give you the attention you deserve. We have so much fun! See the website for more info.
