Opening exercises focus on Balance, Flexiblity, and Posture - great for everyone reguardless of dance style and even non-dancers! Exercises will develop skills expecially useful for Argentine Tango. Objective is understanding our bodies and enjoying moving together instead of instruction. Also includes open practice time with a variety of tango, milonga, vals, and alternative music.
      Please fill out the Liability Waiver before your first time participating at Studio de Myriam.
      $15 drop-in.

  • Milongas
    • Buen Dia Milonga, Second Sunday of the Month (3 Sunday in May to avoid Mothers' Day), at Nexus, 3845 S. Higuera, SLO.
      5:00-8:00 pm, we'll have snacks during the dance, and there's plenty of great restaurants to choose from for dinner before.
      $10 cover.
    • Fourth Saturday of the Month (May through September), in Los Osos, 2055 9th St, Suite C (Second Floor).
      6:30-9:30 pm, Potluck, casual, and fun. Mostly traditional music, some alternative, and a sprinkle of alternative tandas. Hosted and DJed by Valentina (unless there is a special guest DJ).
      $10 cover.
    • See Workshop details above for associated Friday & Saturday night Milongas.

    • We are looking for a nice location for a social dance about once a month. Preferably it would have the feel of a social, public place (like a coffee shop, club, bar, or restaurant) as opposed to a private party atmosphere. If you know of such a place, please contact Rich.
