About La Milonga en Casa, held every 3rd Sunday:  It was conceived nearly a decade ago as an opportunity to enjoy good food, good company and tango. We supply the venue, basic non-alcoholic beverages, flatware and paper goods. Each diner is asked to contribute food or wine, keeping in mind that the group usually numbers between 25 & 30 people. If you're not a cook you can contribute funds to some other cook's effort. Join us for dinner at 7:30 pm and/or tango dancing, 9 - 11:30 pm. 1315 Buttonwood Street, Philadelphia.
Admission to dinner: Something to share
Admission to dance $10; full-time students $8

Dance Tutor lessons! Our Tango Valse 2 online video lessons are now available at DanceTutor.com. From DanceTutor.com:
DanceTutor.com is pleased to announce the opening of Argentine Tango Waltz 2. The site is authored and danced by the popular Philadelphia Argentine tango teaching couple, Kelly Ray and Lesley Mitchell, and sports exciting figures, expertly danced and explained,---13 figures in all plus a demonstration video. Say the authors, "..... a fast, smooth dance that joins the seductive and rhythmic melodies of Argentine tango waltz to the complexities of Argentine tango. Tango vals utilizes almost the same vocabulary as tango, the biggest difference perhaps being that in response to the music the dancers tend to choose more turning steps, and also to choose not to pause as they frequently do in tango...".
