Potluck dinner** and tango dancing.
**Something new: If you'd like to join us at the potluck dinner, please RSVP with your intended contribution, described generally, ie appetizer, main dish (meat or vegetarian?), side dish, dessert, wine. If you won't be bringing food but rather intend to support someone else's dish, let us know in advance so we can ask that person to make extra. We want to make sure there is enough food for everyone.

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 basic non alcoholic beverages, flatware and paper goods. Each diner is asked to contribute food or wine, keeping in mind that the dinner group usually numbers between 25 & 30 people. Ideally everyone should get at least a taste of what you've brought!

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.
