About This Event
Gather your tango family and share the spirit of gratitude this Saturday, November 28, 2026, for A Thanksgiving Weekend Gathering at Underground Milonga, where we suggest dressing in your cozy best for a night of warmth and connection. This holiday weekend is the perfect time to settle into the close embrace and enjoy the company of friends and visitors alike in our inviting ballroom.
DJ MJ will be at the booth to provide a beautiful selection of traditional Argentine tango. The evening follows the classic codes of the milonga, including the cabeceo for invitations and the structure of tandas and cortinas. As you dance on our storied hardwood floor, you can enjoy courtesy hors d'oeuvres and beverages provided to keep the energy high and the atmosphere social.
Hosted by Mirek and Jenya under the Lifetime Tango brand, this weekly social has been a staple of the Sarasota community since 2020. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming space for everyone. No partner is required to attend, and we always look forward to meeting beginners and out of town guests who are visiting Florida for the holiday. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet locals and share a dance in a friendly, relaxed setting.
Doors open at eight and the dancing continues until midnight. We invite you to join us for these four full hours on the floor at The Ballroom of Sarasota, located at 5660 Swift Road. Come share the warmth of the season with us this Saturday night.
