DESCRIPTION:
At 10pm when class ends, the lights dim, candles are lit, the music comes up and without having to set foot on a plane, you are magically transported to an intimate tango club in Buenos Aires. On the first, third and (when there is one) fifth Saturdays of the month you will enjoy El Encuentro, the longest-running milonga in Southern California. Established in 1999, your hosts are Buenos Aires-born Angel Echeverria and his wife, Juliette. All the greats of tango have performed at El Encuentro but it is the regular dancers who give the milonga its friendly, family-like atmosphere. Guests DJs provide five hours of superb music and you have the best floor in town upon which to dance. A light dancers' buffet is included with the entry as well as free parking. Since El Encuentro is a traditional milonga, it is appreciated when guests dress appropriately. Pre-paid reservations are encouraged in order to secure a seat. On the second and fourth Saturdays, The Tango Room is home to Milonga de Pipe, hosted by Felipe (Pipe) Zarzar and La Polaca Anna. A sweet, cozy milonga, DJ Pipe plays something for everyone and Anna's mega-watt smile shines on all. Snacks are provided.
