Come and enjoy a unique TANGO experience, in the company of Bandoneon Maestro Hugo Satorre from Argentina and Ruth Rozelaar. Those who would like to, can choose their favourite dance tunes from a selection of over 50 titles.
These choices will then get woven into tandas, which Hugo and Ruth will play for you.

The musicians will be in the middle of the floor, while the dance happens all around them.

The live music will be from 2 – 3.15pm, and there will be traditionally DJ'd tango music for the rest of the afternoon.
Dance space downstairs and seated listening space up in the gallery.
