the selection is D'Arienzo's beautiful "Valsecito Criolla"

Paradiso thanks Toronto Tangueros for respecting the dance floor
also check updates for milongas





not this                        not this                  not this
 




and certainly not this!
 

ahh! yes, this!!!!

Thanks so much for respecting the new arrangement of tables at Paradiso. This new set up is to try to reflect to some degree how some milongas in Buenos Aires operate. This means that the dance space is a bit reduced which requires the leaders and followers to be very careful. It seems that this arrangement is having the desired effect. This arrangement is not to create a busy floor but to encourage a more careful and respectful floor. Last Friday Paradiso was quite busy with most dancers respecting others. The experienced dancers who have travelled to Buenos Aires indicated that they like this arrangement very much. Thanks everyone.

The "cabeceo" is one of the unique features of the Buenos Aires' milongas which brings magic to the culture of tango in addition to that other special feature, the "embrace". La Cachila celebrates the rich traditions of the milongas in Buenos Aires and we include some of those compelling traditions during the milonga, such as tandas and cortinas, classic tango music and now the "cabaceo". La Cachila includes these same tango traditions, so come and experience that unique feeling of the Buenos Aires' milonga salons at La Cachila on Sunday evenings!
