Saturday & Sunday, February 22 & 23

We’re very excited to welcome Adam Hoopengardner back to Philly after too long! He’ll be DJing our February 22 Milonga Qilombo, and teaching two workshops. Please plan on joining us!

Saturday, February 22

8-9:30 pm (Note early start time!): Pre-Milonga Workshop - “Tango Musicality Revealed: Andres & Adam Explore Tango Musicality and Its Cultural Roots.” Having come to tango from two very different paths, Andres and Adam will teach a class on how to interpret Tango music from their respective backgrounds, and how they have come to overlap over time. We will offer a class where we will listen, discuss, and dance to several pieces of music from different perspectives.

9:30 pm-2 am: Milonga Qilombo with DJ Adam Hoopengardner

Sunday, February 23

2-4 pm: Intensive Workshop for Int/Adv students: “Dancing the Musical Bridges” - Adam Hoopengardner & Mary Carmel Etienne

Intensive Workshop on Sunday: $50 in advance / $55 at the door

Pre-registration is now closed for the Saturday activities, but you are welcome to pay at the door… You can still pre-register for the Sunday workshop with discounted pricing.
