    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)
    The Ministry of Tango is pleased to announce the next M3, the Monthly Mobile Milonga, is going back to the beginning, to the site of the very first M3, Ontario. AS always, M3 is a community-building effort that is FREE for all! M3 is being held at a private residence in Ontario: 219 E Granada Ct Ontario, CA 91764 EVERYONE IS WELCOME! FREE!! 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 playlist for M3 and the library for the Ministry of Tango will be available at http://www.ministryoftango.org/ 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.

    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)
