Tango can feel intimidating, but TriANGulO's free intro strips it down to first steps in a casual setting above one of the city's liveliest food markets. After the lesson, the floor turns into a milonga where beginners can watch or try what they just learned alongside experienced dancers. If you have been curious about tango, this is a low-stakes Sunday way in.

What to expect

Expect a beginner-friendly lesson followed by social dancing to tango music on the mezzanine above the market. Newcomers can dance or simply watch the experienced dancers at the milonga. Market vendors downstairs make it easy to grab a snack before or after the class.
