El Gotan: A Downtown Tango Class and Milonga

El Gotán — A Downtown Tango Class & Milonga
El Gotán gathers twice each month upstairs at Sarasota’s historic Gator Club, where tango takes its time and the night unfolds as it should.
This is a place shaped by listening, presence, and the quiet dialogue between two bodies moving within the same breath of music. Some evenings feel electric, others reflective, each guided by the shared understanding that tango lives in the space between people.
No explanations are required. The music speaks, the floor listens, and the room responds.

8:00 PM–Midnight — Milonga

🎶 The Music
The evening is grounded in the Golden Era of Argentine Tango, with select modern orchestras woven in sparingly—chosen for clarity, phrasing, and respect for the dance.
Music is curated by rotating guest DJs.
