World Embrace Tango invites you to dance Argentine tango in the gorgeous Olympia Ballroom at Milonga Yo Soy El Tango on the first Sunday afternoon of every month, starting in March of 2024! Join us for a charming afternoon of tango, light refreshments and fantastic tango music-- our DJ lineup for 2024 is turning out to be just astounding!

March's DJ is none other than Washington's talented and committed Tom Lee. He'll also be assisting Jennifer Jaymes of World Embrace Tango in the pre-milonga class from 3:30-4PM. The intro class is beginner friendly, providing a tango appetizer to get us warmed up and ready to socialize. All levels are welcome.

There will be some non-alcoholic and light refreshments provided by World Embrace Tango; snack bar and non-alcoholic drink potluck is encouraged- go ahead and bring something light and easily shared if you feel inspired.
