 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)
