About This Event
Immerse yourself in the intimate glow of A Candlelight Evening at Underground Milonga this Saturday, August 29, 2026, where we invite you to share a warm night of close embrace. To complement the flickering lights and the gentle atmosphere, we suggest dressing in something soft and elegant for the occasion. This particular evening focuses on the quiet magic of the dance floor, creating a sanctuary for connection and beautiful movement right here in Sarasota.
The air will be filled with the timeless sounds of the Golden Age as DJ MJ takes the booth to curate a night of traditional tandas and cortinas. We take pride in maintaining the classic codes of the milonga, including the cabeceo, which helps the energy flow seamlessly across our hardwood floor. Since 2020, this space at The Ballroom of Sarasota has served as a weekly home for those who cherish the authentic spirit of Argentine tango.
Your hosts, Mirek and Jenya, ensure a hospitable environment where every guest feels like family. Whether you are a local regular or an out of town visitor traveling through Florida, you will find a friendly community waiting for you. We provide courtesy hors d'oeuvres and beverages to keep you refreshed between dances. No partner is required to join us, as the spirit of the evening is rooted in social connection and inclusive kindness.
