 We are so fortunate to have an internationally known teacher like Oscar Casas take an interest in our community. Oscar knows this community well, and knows what we need. That is why it is such a delight to have him return - at least until we all dance just like him!  Hopefully you have been working on the things he talked about in years past, and now ready to really understand what he has to say. This is often the case when you are learning something. You have to hear it several times before not only you get it, but your body internalizes it. I have heard from so many people that they have gone to a weekend of workshops, and forgotten most of what they learned. I will do my best to review in following classes, before your  knowledge fades!

Upcoming Tuesday Tango Party themes: Feb 4 Mad Men  Feb 11 Valentine's Day  Feb 18, Loisa's Birthday! Feb 24 Mardi Gras. Don't miss out on the fun! Email me to be added to the email list for updates.

[TSOM-Announce] Milonga Mala Yunta - Clarification, please read

Hola tangueros!  

I apologize for the confusion... the intention is NOT to share cups...  As usual we provide wine glasses (for your wine or your water), plastic cups for those who prefer that option, and I got some stainless steel cups that I thought it was a good idea for parties, but apparently it was not...  And ladies and/or men who wear lipstick, forget about what I previously said.  We'll take of that with several dishwasher passes and hand washing if it's necessary. 

Seriously, I'm sorry for my previous message, the rest of the Bataclan team jumped all over me with all kind of messages and interpretations...


Join us this Friday, Jan 24th at the first Mala Yunta of 2020!  Enjoy friends, tango, chacarera and delicious snacks.


DJ: Chirstopher Everett


Location: Four Seasons Dance Studios, 1637 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403


Time: 9:30pm-1:00am


General admission $10 ($5 full time students). Includes refreshments (drinks and delicious snacks) and raffle.


Los esperamos!

Please remember the intention of going green with zero waste milongas!  As always, we offer wine glasses (not plastic) and now we added few stainless steel cups for water.so we don't add waste to the planet.  
A request for the ladies who wear lipstick: it will help us if when you are done with your drink, you can wipe it out from the glass!

We still have extra plastic cups available.  And remember, it will always help if you bring your own bottle/cup for water. 


Los esperamos!

Oscar Casas in Minnesota February 7-11 2020!

Oscar Casas grew up in Buenos Aires, breathing tango. His father was a milonguero who organized milongas in tango barrios in Buenos Aires.
