About this Event
The best tango's, played by the best DJ's in the wonderful ambiance of De Danswerkplaats in Amersfoort. That's Milonga La Roca. The place to go to for every really die-hard dancer. Every 3rd saturday of the month. Easy to reach by train and car (free parking), a good restaurant as neighbor, vibrant atmosphere next to the old town. The cumparsita is planned at 03.00 but if lots of dancers stay, you can keep on dancing until max 04.00. The music stops earlier if less than 15 people are left.
Entrance 8 euro.
With the beautiful dresses, skirts and man's-trousers by Jelena-D. And the custom made shoes by Jetuelle.
Both will be at De Danswerkplaats as of 19.00 hour, so you have plenty of time to try-out and discuss your clothes and shoes. At 20.45 they will move to the space just before the entrance of La Roca.
Check out here their websites: http://jetuelle.com/shoes/4594461164 (so you can ask her to bring something you want to try)

Oliver is well known from the Sweet Milonga in Gouda, every 3rd friday of the month (so a great way to start the weekend, with Amersfoort on saturday evening and sunday afternoon). He creates a carefully build evening from his vast collection. His radioprogram about tango music makes his knowledge shareable. He knows how to make you stay until the Cumparsita, so a long long night is ahead!
You can book a room and stay for the night (since public transport is terrible at night anyway from Amersfoort). You can book a cheap, clean room with breakfast for 19 euro here: https://expeditie.antenna.nl/frames.html
