Argentine Tango Dancing at the Vet's Club (July Schedule)

Welcome to Bailonga! We are a friendly and casual group of Argentine tango dancers who love to learn, play, and dance to good music that meets at the Vet’s Club every Wednesday. Argentine Tango is an experience like no other. Tango is: —A recurring physical activity that doesn’t feel like a chore — An opportunity for connection without all the complex social cues —A rare moment to share mutually respected intimacy without implied romance or sexuality —A source of self-reflection and emotional grounding —An expression of musicality —A little bubble of safety where you feel like you belong And if you come to our event, you can take your first step: If the world of tango is brand new to you, our “From Zero” class will teach you the fundamentals you need to get started on the dance floor, no partner necessary. And if you are early in your tango journey and want to build on your existing skills, our “Continuing Beginner” class will teach you something new. Both classes are at 7PM every Wednesday, rain or shine. (Experienced dancers are also welcome to attend either lesson!) At 7:45PM it’s time to dance! On most nights, you’ll dance tango to a mixture of traditional, Nuevo and alternative (non-tango that’s fun to dance to) music. You might even recognize some of the songs! In our community, everyone dances with everyone regardless of skill level or gender, so you’ll never be on your own for very long. Keep dancing long enough, and you might just get hooked. Our community is so excited to introduce you to this dance, and we’d love to see you on a Wednesday night some time soon! —See below for week by week details of scheduled teachers, DJ’s, and music styles for JULY 2026. — FAQ: https://www.bailonga.org/faq/ Check out a sample playlist of the music we play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UH1iS-BLQQ&list=PLVpgUjor78gaVzkCStEgvBwUK_J11eo9f&index=1 And a video of what Argentine Tango dancing looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPO8qtOFkU4&list=PL3kNUWsdGzRIlxtxdPrwmqVgmk0nsiDKU&index=3 Notes: • Masking is not required but encouraged, and there will always be masks and hand sanitizer available at the front desk. • For shoes, all that matters is that you are stable when you walk, you can pivot on the ball of your foot, and it has a closed back. Ballroom/jazz/salsa shoes without rubber bottoms all work for this purpose. You can even wear socks if you want! • For attire, casual to semi-formal is typical for our community, and you'll want clothing that allows you to move freely without getting under foot. • Please avoid fragrances/perfumes. Some of us are allergic. Thank you!
