50 50 Milonga

We're throwing the very first 50/50 Milonga in Manhattan and You're invited to the party! Saturday, February 28 - East Village, NYC Tickets LINK -> https://www.tickettailor.com/events/organictonesmusicinc/2062297 Picture this: one glorious night where Golden Age bandoneons and fresh, unexpected grooves carefully selected for tango take turns on the dance floor in perfect harmony. That's the 50/50. Half traditional tango (the Golden Age classics + other traditional tango music from every era) and half alternative (alt-tango + eclectic music that'll make your tango legs do things they didn't know they could). The two worlds alternate all night long in a seamless, delicious flow. Ask anyone to dance, for as many or as few songs as you like, listening to each dance intently and with care. Event Highlights: - An exceptionally wide range of music, from timeless classics to adventurous tracks that spark improvisation, with a balanced mix of both. - All-level tango class, with an energizing warm-up to get every dancer ready thanks to a touch of contemporary movement to open up your joints. - Live guitar by Claudio and Eran. - The space is a big yoga studio, so between dances, sink into the chill zone and recharge your soul. The Game Plan: 7:10 PM - Doors swing open 7:30 PM - Warm-up with contemporary contact-improv with Alex Barthélémy, 7:50 PM - Tango class for every level with Eran & Alex Barthélémy (first-timers, come on in!) 9:00 PM - 50/50 Milonga until 1AM+ BYOD (no alcohol) On the decks: Kat (Yu Zhang) & Alex Barthélémy 💿 On the strings: Claudio & Eran Polak 🎶 Location: 12 St Marks Pl. — Ring 2R See you Saturday the 28th, Bring your best (clean*) shoes, or your best socks, and your most adventurous spirit!
