We kick off Tango Café May with a special workshop focused on Barridas—the beautiful feet sweeping movements that add elegance and flow to your tango! The workshop is intermediate, given by the lovely teacher Cinthya Tomino. After the workshop, we will enjoy a meal together. Bring your favourite dish to share and indulge in a wonderful spread of food with fellow tango lovers. Last but not least, we will dance the night away, surrounded by a warm and welcoming community on the tunes provided by TDJ Cin Tomino.
