About This Event
Experience the heartfelt connection of Argentine tango this Saturday, September 19, 2026, during An Evening of Social Embrace at Underground Milonga. This special night is dedicated to the warmth of the community and the beauty of the close hold, creating a welcoming atmosphere where every dancer feels at home. Whether you are reconnecting with old friends or meeting new partners, the focus remains on the kindness and shared joy found within the tango embrace.
We have gathered every Saturday since 2020 at The Ballroom of Sarasota, a venue known for its hardwood floor with character. Your hosts, Mirek and Jenya, ensure a hospitable environment under the Lifetime Tango brand. We take pride in maintaining the traditions that make this dance so meaningful, including the use of the cabeceo to find partners and the classic structure of tandas and cortinas.
The music for the evening is carefully selected to keep you inspired. DJ MJ will be at the booth spinning a curated list of traditional tango arrangements that honor the golden age of the dance. Between dances, you can enjoy courtesy hors d'oeuvres and beverages provided for all our guests. We often host world class maestros for workshops throughout the year, but the heart of our Saturday nights is always the local social community.
