Ocho Cortado: Join us for Laura's Birthday Celebration

Join us for a special night at Ocho Cortado as we celebrate Laura — cherished organizer, community builder, and the artistic soul behind Mingotography. A beautiful evening of tango awaits. If you’ve danced in Southern California anytime in the last decade, you already know Laura. She’s the heart behind some of our most iconic milongas — Milonga El Floridita, Milonga Uno, and of course Milonga Ocho Cortado's faithful assistant. A beloved organizer, a connector of people, and the warm smile that has welcomed countless dancers into the tango family. But that’s not all — she’s also the creative eye behind Mingotography, capturing the soul of tango through her lens with images that have become part of our community’s visual history. So tonight, we celebrate her — her generosity, her artistry, her humor, her endless dedication, and the magic she brings to every event she touches. $20 Free parking
