On June 1 we move north to Studio V, Pilates & Fitness, 4345 Spyres Way, just off Bangs near McHenry, for Saturday classes. The studio is a bit smaller with mirrors on two angles, has its own parking lot and will host a practice session after the one-hour class. For now we continue downtown. In June we will host Eva Garlez and Pablo Rodriguez of Buenos Aires. Stay tuned.

Friday, May 17, Friday May 31, Friday June 14, Friday June 28 at Tango Magdalena, 580 Grand Ave., Ste. #305 Milonga to honor students, past and present: Remember how frozen you were at your first Milonga. that feeling of inadequacy and how intimidating it felt? We all went through those feelings, almost as our "rite of passage". We all have encountered more experienced dancers who took the time to dance with us. They let us make our mistakes, and thus learn. We have never forgotten them. They are intrinsic parts of our tango journey... Join these milonga nights to inspire others and extend your heart to newcomers. To those now regularly going out to dance, make the spirit of Tango Magdalena Studio shine stronger and radiate a friendly environment.
