Tango Afternoons with Live Music for Dancing

The last Sunday of every month, Tango A la Parrilla, presented by Ruth Rozelaar who writes: “We will get rid of the stage and push the piano into the middle of the dance floor, for you all to dance around us. Our focus is on bringing you a rich tango programme; 75 minutes of traditional, danceable live music. The live music will be from 2.30 – 3.45pm, and there will be traditionally DJ'd tango music for the rest of the afternoon.

Ruth Rozelaar, bandoneon Michael Stone, piano Katina Laoutaris, violin
