We receive e-mails from all over the world from people who love Tango. Here’s one we’d like to share with you . . .
- Venezuela Wambui Kung'u - Makes you realise how great Sydney is with its choices of places to learn and dance Tango, doesn't it? And if any Tango teacher in Kenya reads this, maybe you can help Venezuela take the first step on her Tango journey.
We’ve had some great feedback about the venue’s ambience, dance floor, sound system, acoustics and Bistro. We’re certainly looking forward to our… Next MILONGA in Botany . . .
Cover charge $15. This includes tea, coffee and cake, lucky door prizes and a FREE Argentine Tango lesson from 7:30pm - 8:30pm. Bookings for the lesson required. Our Tango DJ promises to keep you dancing through the night with his inspired and spontaneous mix of Tango, Vals and Milonga. We’re also likely to throw in some live entertainment from time to time. Next Botany Milongas are scheduled for 2 July and 6 August. [top of page] SATURDAY MILONGAS in Rose Bay.
Rose Bay RSL Entry includes a complimentary Tango lesson from 7:30pm - 8:30pm. Our May Milonga at Rose Bay featured the wonderful Tango singer from Argentina, Irene Livolsi, who was superb as always, accompanied beautifully on piano by Jane Buttler.
It was a huge turn-out and we were delighted to have amongst our guests David Backler and Diane Heywood (Side Walk Tango, Melbourne), Sarah Bonner and Friends (Tango Social Club of Canberra) and John Foreman (Music Director for Australian Idol and the Bert Newton Show). You’ll be glad to hear that Jose Prates, who was unable to perform on the night due to illness, is recovering from his recent operation. The next Saturday Milonga in Rose Bay is scheduled for 31 July. You can expect the usual PATIO de TANGO ambience and music; and we may include some live entertainment. We’ll give you more details in our July Newsletter. [top of page] Weekly TUESDAY MILONGAS in Rose Bay.

"I
am 29 years old from Nairobi in Kenya where there are no Tango classes but
I love this Tango dance with all my heart and soul. Anyway, one day I hope
I will get somewhere to learn or find someone to teach me even if I will
be 100 years old. At the moment I am enjoying this lovely music which is
sweeping my heart away with greatest joy and my eyes filled with happiness."
A
big THANK YOU to all who helped us launch our first Botany Milonga last
month. And a special mention to the stars of the night -
Terry Kirkpatrick and
Tony Leonie, who performed a very cheeky
"Saturday Night Fever" number.
