“Tango Noir” milonga at Sidewalktango
Welcome to the night of ”Tango Noir”
Every First and Third Friday of the Month
Starting 8.00pm and going through to late night….”Tango Noir” .
An intimate and stylish venue, with an authentic milonga:
Milonga: A tango dance party……
In our over busy lives, with no time for the imagination, and no time for ourselves and others, we have ” the milonga”. Yes, it is more than just a dance.
There is something deeper: a motionless, fathomless, dark ocean of time. A bittersweet nostalgia and awareness for the passing nature of all life and things.
Then the “mythical, oft-mentioned, but indefinable experience of the tango embrace”. The passion, the “connection” and the special sense of a “secret inside”.
Resonating with rhythm, melody, artistry, subtlety and touch. Enraptured by the encounter, the pleasure, humour, respect and poetry. An attraction, a curiosity, a pastime, a meditation, and deadly serious good fun…
”Tango Noir” at 327 Swan St Richmond.
