Milongas

Milongas are social dance tango parties. In Nottingham Milonga Media Luz is held at least once a month on the second Saturday of each month from 7.30pm to 11.30pm at Bramcote Memorial Hall, Church Street NG9 3HD. Additional evening milongas are held occasionally when there is a fifth Saturday in the month or matinee milongas on Bank Holidays when one of the venues is the stunning Beeston Parish Church.

“Thank you Lisa Cherry-Downes for the fabulous tandas put together, the quality of music was much appreciated. As were the informative projections of ‘orquestas’ playing and ‘cantantes’ singing.” 

Guest, Jan 2023

“They are literally the only tango events we do choose to go to – because of your immaculate music selections and hosting skills.”
