Taiji Tango Milonga

December 18, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

$13

Have you ever played footsie with someone?
Have you experienced a beautiful long hug?
I’m sure you have taken a walk with someone hand in hand, right?
Argentinian tango can look like all of these.

Why Taiji? The goal of Tai Chi is relaxation and ease, in movement and mindset. Blending the concepts of tai chi and tango changes the perception of tango: from hard to easy, from complicated to simple, from stressful to ease.

Price: $13 ($4 for students)

Taiji Tango Milonga is an alternative Argentinian tango event. It blends modern music with a traditional dance that evolved around 1880 in Buenos Aires. This event is your opportunity to taste this blend of worlds.

The evening will start with a beginners lesson at 6pm. Followed by a mini-practica. Dancing starts around 7:15.

To encourage empowered and caring dancers we have created some statements called, Self & Community Care. Look for this poster when you arrive

Your host, teacher and DJ for this event is Eric Arthur. He was introduced to blues and fusion dancing in 2016, and found tango in 2017. He uses his 22 years of experience in Tai chi to make tango easy and approachable.
