You are cordially invited to celebrate Independence Days (July 4 for the U.S. and July 9 for Argentina*) with a parilla + practica @ Branch Road beginning at 5 pm on Sunday July 3.
What’s a parilla? A barbecue! The practica will begin at 5 pm and we will aim to eat around 6 pm (EDT, not tango time). We’ll make a light dinner on the gas grill. I’ll supply burgers, hot dogs, buns, and condiments. You can bring beverage, side dish, etc., if you like. We want to keep it low key and simple. If you are not an omnivore & want to grill, please bring a vegan/vegetarian grill food.
Your guests, whether nondancing friends or tango-curious are welcome. If you are new to tango, this is a great opportunity to meet—and dance with—tangueras/os in our fabulous tango community. I will dj, so send your suggestions/requests to me backchannel and I will do my best to accommodate.
In addition, the tango swap will be open. If you have shoes, apparel, CDs, videos, or other tango-relevant items you would like to see have a happy new home, bring them along. We will assume any item not specifically marked “for trade/for sale” is free to a new owner. Items must be clean and in at least “very good” condition. Special note to tangueras: our definition of tango-relevant includes any clothing, shoes, bags that you can imagine wearing to a practica or milonga (in other words, non-tango sandals etc are OK, but no business clothes).
