MILONGA EL FLORIDITA -Wednesday Magic (9:00 PM - 2:00 AM)

 MILONGA EL FLORIDITA

Skin and legs, flickering in a shaft of golden light...  A man, a woman, locked in a passionate embrace, moving as one, flowing seamlessly to the strains of a poignantly romantic Golden Age tango...  No, we’re not in Buenos Aires.   This is Hollywood, California on a typical Wednesday evening at the hippest event in town, Milonga El Floridita, founded by entrepreneur Eric Dandridge.   Each week Los Angeles’ best tango dancers gather at this exciting venue to dance, see performances from visiting world class talent and savor the scene that has evolved there.

Since its opening, “MEF” has become the “it” venue not only for the finest in LA’s tango community but also for the general public, who show up each week to soak in MEF’s ambiance and enjoy the spectacle of beautiful people dancing Argentina’s “delicate dance.” 

 

Milonga El Floridita has also become a magnet for international talent, drawing the following world class tango performers:  Ivan Terrazas & Sara Grdan; Oliver Kolker & Silvina Valz; Luiza Paes & Julio Bassan; Guillermo de Fazio of the Macana Brothers; Sandor & Parissa; David Leguizamon & Vanessa Villalba of Forever Tango; Mundial Finalists Santiago Croce & Amy Lincoln; Lisette Perelle & Count Glover; Edmundo Thomas & Elizabeth Tambasco; Jaimes Friedgen & Crista Rodriguez; Orlando Farias & Natalia Lind, Juan Paulo Horvath & Victoria Galoto also of Forever Tango, Ivan Inofre & Cyrena Drusine from the elite Carlos Copello school, Lucas Gazcon and Cecilia Piccinni, and Hugo Patyn and Celina Rotundo.

 

Milonga El Floridita approaches each milonga as a uniquely produced event, with a different guest DJ, visiting performers and other features, such as artist showcases for painters and photographers.   

 

Milonga El Floridita’s photo albums, taken by Co-Founder and gifted photographer Laura Mingo, are published each week on FaceBook and have become a phenomenon in the international tango community and the centerpiece of Milonga El Floridita’s social network of over 2,000 dedicated friends worldwide.  (Our FaceBook Photo Albums may be found here:http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=100001209555613)

MILONGA EL FLORIDITA -Wednesday Magic (9:00 PM - 2:00 AM)

 MILONGA EL FLORIDITA

Skin and legs, flickering in a shaft of golden light...  A man, a woman, locked in a passionate embrace, moving as one, flowing seamlessly to the strains of a poignantly romantic Golden Age tango...  No, we’re not in Buenos Aires.   This is Hollywood, California on a typical Wednesday evening at the hippest event in town, Milonga El Floridita, founded by entrepreneur Eric Dandridge.   Each week Los Angeles’ best tango dancers gather at this exciting venue to dance, see performances from visiting world class talent and savor the scene that has evolved there.

Since its opening, “MEF” has become the “it” venue not only for the finest in LA’s tango community but also for the general public, who show up each week to soak in MEF’s ambiance and enjoy the spectacle of beautiful people dancing Argentina’s “delicate dance.” 

 

Milonga El Floridita has also become a magnet for international talent, drawing the following world class tango performers:  Ivan Terrazas & Sara Grdan; Oliver Kolker & Silvina Valz; Luiza Paes & Julio Bassan; Guillermo de Fazio of the Macana Brothers; Sandor & Parissa; David Leguizamon & Vanessa Villalba of Forever Tango; Mundial Finalists Santiago Croce & Amy Lincoln; Lisette Perelle & Count Glover; Edmundo Thomas & Elizabeth Tambasco; Jaimes Friedgen & Crista Rodriguez; Orlando Farias & Natalia Lind, Juan Paulo Horvath & Victoria Galoto also of Forever Tango, Ivan Inofre & Cyrena Drusine from the elite Carlos Copello school, Lucas Gazcon and Cecilia Piccinni, and Hugo Patyn and Celina Rotundo.

 

Milonga El Floridita approaches each milonga as a uniquely produced event, with a different guest DJ, visiting performers and other features, such as artist showcases for painters and photographers.   

 

Milonga El Floridita’s photo albums, taken by Co-Founder and gifted photographer Laura Mingo, are published each week on FaceBook and have become a phenomenon in the international tango community and the centerpiece of Milonga El Floridita’s social network of over 2,000 dedicated friends worldwide.  (Our FaceBook Photo Albums may be found here:http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=100001209555613)

M3, The Monthly Mobile Milonga (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM)
Ministry of Tango Logo -- Stolen by the Grinch!

The Ministry of Tango is pleased to announce the next M3, the Monthly Mobile Milonga, will be held on Sunday, June 17, 6-10pm.  As always, M3 is a community-building effort that is FREE for all!




This month, M3 is going to visit the sea. M3 is being held at a dance hall in a gated community in Malibu!



    
The Clubhouse at Paradise Cove Mobilehome Park

28128 Pacific Coast Highway

Malibu, CA 90265





EVERYONE IS WELCOME! FREE!!




Feel free to bring food to share--the catering and goodies are what YOU bring to share!




NOTE: Directions are necessary.  This is a gated community, and without directions, you will be unable to enter!

 

Directions


Enter Paradise Cove from PCH

Stay to the right, crossing the wooden bridge

Press 888 on the keypad to ring for entry

Proceed up the hill to the three-way fork

Turn Left and proceed to the Clubhouse




NOTE: PARKING IS VERY LIMITED. We urge you to carpool in order to avoid any parking difficulties, or having to park farther away or to have to pay for parking!



Feel free to RSVP on Facebook




If you are interested in carpooling, either as a driver or as a passenger, please contact the MOT and we'll help you to put a pool together. Be cool by being in your own pool--carpool, that is.




Make this your first milonga, or your first milonga with the Ministry of Tango. We would love to meet you; we encourage you to bring family, bring friends, bring food! But remember: The only thing you need to bring is YOU.




Our warm and welcoming hosts and staff are pleased as punch to meet new people, as well as catching up with good friends. Dance with all your pals and meet some new people to tango into tonight with! We encourage you to dance with new friends and new dancers to strengthen our already tight community.




M3 is a collaborative effort made possible by the hard work of the employees and volunteers at the Ministry of Tango. However, the success of M3 depends on you--the members of the community at large--and your participation in the event.




We would also like you to participate more in the milonga process itself. The library for the Ministry of Tango will be available at our website: Ministry of Tango.

If you'd like to make a request or suggestion, please do. Make your requests early so you can know when we'll be playing YOUR song!




Every month the Ministry sponsors a milonga at a different location to help promote good will, togetherness and a warm and welcoming attitude to all members of the tango community, new and familiar. We hope that by bringing tango to less tango-ed spots that we will encourage and foster growth of tango in that area.




If you would like to host an M3, please contact an official with the Ministry. Thank you for your continued and continuing support.

Skin and legs, flickering in a shaft of golden light...  A man, a woman, locked in a passionate embrace, moving as one, flowing seamlessly to the strains of a poignantly romantic Golden Age tango...  No, we’re not in Buenos Aires.   This is Hollywood, California on a typical Wednesday evening at the hippest event in town, Milonga El Floridita, founded by entrepreneur Eric Dandridge.   Each week Los Angeles’ best tango dancers gather at this exciting venue to dance, see performances from visiting world class talent and savor the scene that has evolved there.

Since its opening, “MEF” has become the “it” venue not only for the finest in LA’s tango community but also for the general public, who show up each week to soak in MEF’s ambiance and enjoy the spectacle of beautiful people dancing Argentina’s “delicate dance.” 

 

Milonga El Floridita has also become a magnet for international talent, drawing the following world class tango performers:  Ivan Terrazas & Sara Grdan; Oliver Kolker & Silvina Valz; Luiza Paes & Julio Bassan; Guillermo de Fazio of the Macana Brothers; Sandor & Parissa; David Leguizamon & Vanessa Villalba of Forever Tango; Mundial Finalists Santiago Croce & Amy Lincoln; Lisette Perelle & Count Glover; Edmundo Thomas & Elizabeth Tambasco; Jaimes Friedgen & Crista Rodriguez; Orlando Farias & Natalia Lind, Juan Paulo Horvath & Victoria Galoto also of Forever Tango, Ivan Inofre & Cyrena Drusine from the elite Carlos Copello school, Lucas Gazcon and Cecilia Piccinni, and Hugo Patyn and Celina Rotundo.

 

Milonga El Floridita approaches each milonga as a uniquely produced event, with a different guest DJ, visiting performers and other features, such as artist showcases for painters and photographers.   

 

Milonga El Floridita’s photo albums, taken by Co-Founder and gifted photographer Laura Mingo, are published each week on FaceBook and have become a phenomenon in the international tango community and the centerpiece of Milonga El Floridita’s social network of over 2,000 dedicated friends worldwide.  (Our FaceBook Photo Albums may be found here:http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=100001209555613)
