anticipation of Paradiso’s 22nd anniversary on Friday April 5, 2019, we want to share the
history of our milonga with you, our patrons. Milonga Paradiso made its first
(tango) steps in April 1997 at a small downtown Italian restaurant on Toronto
Street called In Citta. Paradiso was born out of the necessity to dance "Argentine
tango" on a regular basis because at that time, the Toronto tango
community was very small with only a once-a-month milonga. Fridays was a
logical choice; in those days, we tried <u><i><span style="color: blue;">not to compete</span></i></u> with another event that
was held once a month on Saturdays and at times on Fridays. There, at In Citta,
we first welcomed such prominent tango dancers as <span style="color: blue;">Carlos Gavito</span> with <span style="color: blue;">Marcela
Durán</span>, <span style="color: blue;">Hernan Obispo</span> with <span style="color: blue;">Mariana Dragone,</span> <span style="color: blue;">Florencia Tachetti, Julio Mendez </span>and
others.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

comfortable at In Citta – that’s where we perfected running a "milonga dance"
- it was built on the example of Buenos
Aires' milongas. For <span style="color: blue;">the first time</span>, Toronto tango dancers danced to <span style="color: blue;">music set
to tandas with cortinas</span>. We outlived two consecutive owners of the restaurant,
but unfortunately, the third one had a vision for In Citta that was not
conducive in having our milonga there; they
changed the name and made it into an after work noisy bar. The idea of tango patrons nursing one drink a night in order to maintain balance on the dance floor did not fit their business model. We left our cosy first home to dance our beloved tango elsewhere! </span></b></span></div>

survive and expand; soon we found a funky loft on Richmond street, a cavernous
space equipped with a heavy sliding barn door, exposed brick walls, tall
windows and filled with theatrical props and sets. We loved it and so did our
patrons. “Paradiso on Richmond” was a cool and bohemian place, not unlike
milonga "La Catedral" in Buenos Aires (we did not have two matching
chairs, just like La Catedral!). For two happy years we didn’t mind dragging
our rented stereo equipment and drinks to the 3rd floor (no elevator on site) and cleaning the floors of our favourite loft, until, once again, we became victims of gentrification.</span></b></span><br />
