50/50 MILONGA

We're throwing the Second 50/50 MILONGA in Manhattan and you're invited to the party!
Saturday, June 27 - East Village, NYC

Picture this: one glorious night where Golden Age bandoneons and fresh, unexpected grooves carefully selected for tango take turns on the dance floor in perfect harmony. That's the 50/50. Half traditional tango (the Golden Age classics + other traditional tango music from every era) and half alternative (alt-tango + eclectic music that'll make your tango legs do things they didn't know they could). The two worlds alternate all night long in a seamless, delicious flow.

Ask anyone to dance, for as many or as few songs as you like, listening to each dance intently and with care.

Event Highlights:

• An exceptionally wide range of music, from timeless classics to adventurous tracks that spark improvisation, with a balanced mix of both.
• All-level tango class,  with an energizing warm-up to get every dancer ready thanks to a touch of contemporary movement to open up your joints.
• Live guitar by Claudio and Eran.
• The space is a big yoga studio — so between dances, sink into the chill zone and recharge your soul.

The Game Plan:

7:10 PM - Doors swing open
7:30 PM - Warm-up with contemporary contact-improv with Alex Barthélémy,
7:50 PM - Tango class for every level with Eran Polat & Alex Barthélémy (first-timers, come on in!)
9:00 PM - 50/50 Milonga until 1AM+
