It is perfect for us. Featuring:

legionnaire members only' bar is downstairs. The bartender,
when he is on-duty downstairs is made available to me as a courtesy to purchase alcoholic beverage for a small donation. It took time to locate a suitable place that suits our needs but with perseverance and patience we found it. Now let us enjoy it together
Terri's report:
January 29th we are back in full force and energy but so was Winter, so just bundle up and never miss our nights of Traditional Argentine Tango.
The lesson was guided by, Jose Garafolos.
He traveled from Buenos Aires just to be with us. He endured cancellations and delays but it not deter his dedication. His instructions during the group lesson was energetic with amazing vibes and informative. We had fun! Thank you Jose.
DJ Jose's selections of music kept us on the dance floor until lights
out.
He was danced with all our ladies.
Kudos to all who braved the weather to join us. You made it worth it.
Our Milonga is always welcoming and
warm and the friendly. We welcome all who love tango. Anyone who wants to be part of the tango community knows this is the place to be.
We welcome newcomers to our Milonga who are curious to learn the mystique of this sexy dance.
Get off the couch, bundle up, and join us. We are the place to be every Thursday.
I promise to bring you the best talents for you to enjoy, the group lessons, and a place to learn and add to what you already know, and socialize and dance the night away.
