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. This is the first time Wolfgang will be our DJ here at La Roca. We know each other for years and i follow his DJ-whereabouts closely. He needs to come to the Netherlands, so you can finally dance to his music. Wolfgang started DJ-ing in 2016 because he wanted to delve even deeper into the music. He focuses on traditional music that brings the dancers on the dance floor keeping them there until the end of the milonga. The music of the 30s and 40s has his preference where he aims to maintain a beautiful energy throughout the milonga. In Germany he regularly plays music in Cologne at Tango 8, +Tango Colon, in Wuppertal at Cafe Ada and in Hamburg at La Yumba. international Encuentros, Marathons and Milongas: - Riga, Latvia - Kehl,Germany - Nottingham UK, -Roma, Italy, -Noci, Italy,- Sevilla, Spain - Lisboa, Portugal - Porto, Portugal, - Paquita Annecy, France, - Esmeralda, Graz, Austria.
