About This Event
Step into the gentle glow of A Candlelight Evening this Saturday, October 24, 2026, where we invite you to share a night of intimate connection and close embrace. To match the flickering warmth of the ballroom, we suggest dressing in something soft and elegant for this special occasion. It is a night designed to let the world outside fade away as we focus on the quiet magic of the dance floor.
DJ MJ will be at the booth to curate a beautiful selection of traditional tangos. The evening follows the classic codes of the milonga, including the use of cabeceo to find your partners and the rhythmic flow of tandas and cortinas. Whether you are a local regular or a visitor traveling through Sarasota, you will find a welcoming atmosphere on our historic hardwood floor, which has been the heart of our community every Saturday since 2020.
Your hosts Mirek and Jenya ensure every guest feels at home under the Lifetime Tango brand. We provide courtesy hors d'oeuvres and beverages to keep you refreshed throughout the night. You never need to bring a partner to join us, as our community is known for its warmth toward beginners and out of town guests alike. Our venue at The Ballroom of Sarasota remains a sanctuary for those who love the authentic spirit of Argentine tango.
We look forward to welcoming you to this luminous evening of music and friendship. Social dancing runs from 8 PM to midnight. Please join us for a memorable night of tango in the candlelight.
