Tangueras y tangueros y everyone else who wants to learn to dance tango,
A new concept is born: El Quinto (the 5th, on the 5th Sunday) is an event to attract new people into the wonderful world of Argentine tango.
Based on a wild idea: tango curious people coming to taste tango by dancing 1-on-1 with experienced tango dancers, to feel what it means dancing in embrace on the most beautiful music ever written for partner dances. Now is the time and the opportunity to bring in your friends to let them taste tango!
NO.PARTNER.NEEDED. NO.EXPERIENCE.NEEDED. JUST.COME.
In the afternoon El Quinto is a full-blown práctica, a tango try-out bootcamp, where senior, junior and newcomers/rookies/trainees mix up to transfer knowledge and skills. As it was in the Golden Age of tango. Hard work and fun going hand-in-hand. With free mini-classes in-between.
Pianist Sebastian Rodriguez will do a mini-class on tango music and play for us in the early evening to make us dance.
In the evening El Quinto is a regular milonga/salon though with an abundant snack buffet incl. pizza slices <- all of this is included in the €12 price!!!! However, bring your own alcoholic drinks.
See you on the floor, abrazo!
