Tangoesque: 1st Friday Alt Tango w Loelle Lim and Julia Ochs

Welcome back to Loelle Lim, DJ for our monthly 1st Friday Alternative tango dance at OmCulture. Loelle is a regular DJ at 3rd Friday milongas, and knocked it out of the ballpark in her first Alt tango debut. We are so excited to have her take this on again! For this set, Loelle will do the first hour of the dance with no cortinas. This is to make sure that folks who are newer to tango both have a chance to get up and dance early on and also to not feel pressured to have to dance full tandas (three song sets). After the first hour we will switch back to the standard format of three song tandas with short cortinas in between to clear the floor. This month we have the lovely Julia Ochs offering a 30 minute, fun, 'ice-breaker' class. The class is designed to get everyone familiar with each other and to walk away with a cool new move or concept. Julia co-teaches with Michelle Badion on Tuesday evenings in Greenwood. If you're newer to tango I highly recommend their beginner and intermediate classes. Flow of the evening: 7:45 Doors Open 8:00 Tango lesson with Julia Ochs 8:30 Dance begins with one hour of music with no cortinas 9:30 We go back to the traditional 3-song tandas 11:30 Dance ends at the discretion of the DJ. We often go till midnight. Cost: $20 cash or venmo at door Includes: Lesson, 3 hours dance, snacks, open wine bar
