Golden Age Milonga Friday

Tonight, we are starting a free introductory lesson for new tango dancers, from 8-8.30pm, after which the floor is yours for dancing, once you have enjoyed your champagne cocktail! You do not require a partner to join the class.

Champagne Tango provides a personalised, hosted and romantic themed social event, giving you a little bit of Buenos Aires in Perth. Experienced DJs John Ellis and Patrick Spanoghe will play all your golden age hits with rare musical treasures in the mix. Let us guide your dancing feet through the traditional to the modern post 1950’s tango in the style of Buenos Aires.

With only a few days to our next milonga, it’s time to remind you that our in-house tango DJ John Ellis will be presenting another of his superlative programmes of the best of authentic tango music, specially compiled for our “Milonga of the Golden Age” on Friday 10th August, at the Alexandra Hall.

John notes that he arranges the music in an internationally accepted format of tandas separated by cortinas. The tanda is a group of four tangos, and John plays milonga and vals in tandas of three songs. The cortina (cut or curtain in Spanish) is the short musical interlude between tandas, which enables dancers to clear the floor and change partners, thereby enhancing the social aspects of the milonga. So with John’s music, you will always know where you are, whether you are dancing or not!
