Recent Argentine Tango Events in Lexington, KY:

The Atrium at Victorian Square early in the evening.

June 12
2nd Sunday Milonga at Victorian Square

401 W Main Street, Lexington, KY 40507

5:30 to 8 p.m. Everybody's welcome: beginners and observers, too! Music is predominately traditional. The only place around where you can dance under the old-fashioned street lamps and still be inside!

Interesting crowd this Sunday! Oscar Leguizamón (actor, writer, Lunfardo expert, charmer, philosopher, 15 years as company manager for Forever Tango, and all-around nice guy) was in attendance. We were thrilled to see Marcela as always! And it was great to see wanderers Patricia and Monte. So nice to hear so much Castellano spoken...makes it feel a little like Buenos Aires. But let's not forget, it's the "regulars" who make Second Sunday a success and keep it going year after year! Gracias a todos!

Happy Spring and Happy Mother's Day! Finally, a day with sunshine. Phoebe from Chicago drove over from Louisville, taking a break from her Derby celebrations. Angel brought his mother, and several other relatives as well. Check out his beautiful nieces, and his nephew...clearly an aspiring tango dancer!

Great to see Jay and Rita SO SOON. They know why. Thanks to Barb and Kelly for helping set up as Lu Ann was returning from Columbus. And what a treat to have Marcela Duran, Karina Piazza and Fernando Marzan in attendance!

2nd Sunday Milonga at Victorian Square

5:30 to 8 p.m. in the Atrium of Victorian Square
401 W Main Street, Lexington, Kentucky 40507

We celebrated Rita's birthday with a "birthday dance" and cupcakes with candles. Lu Ann made sure she did not forget to bring her camera with the depleted battery, hence no pictures of this special occasion. Just take our word for it; the ladies were gorgeous and the men muy guapo.
