World Embrace Tango invites you to dance Argentine tango in the gorgeous Olympia Ballroom at Milonga Yo Soy El Tango on the first Sunday afternoon of every month, starting in March of 2024! Join us for a charming afternoon of tango, light refreshments and fantastic tango music-- our DJ lineup for 2024 is turning out to be just astounding! May’s DJ is Olympia’s hometown favorite, Andrew Flojo; known for his seasoned mix of traditional and alternative tandas that get everybody enjoying the social floor. He'll also be co-teaching with Jennifer Jaymes in the pre-milonga class from 3:30-4PM. The intro class is beginner friendly, providing a tango appetizer to get us warmed up and ready to socialize. All levels are welcome.
There will be some non-alcoholic and light refreshments provided by World Embrace Tango; snack bar and non-alcoholic drink potluck is encouraged- go ahead and bring something light and easily shared if you feel inspired.
