San Francisco / Bay Area Argentine Tango Calendar
Emily Pierce and Derrick Del Pilar cordially invite you to the second monthly edition of Milonga Café Pacífico, a virtual tango event, on Saturday, August 22, 2020, from 7 to 10 pm PDT (GMT-8).
At our virtual milonga, we provide the standard milonga format tandas and cortinas for all who wish to listen in live. You can dance along at home, listen in, chat with friends, or have the music play in the background. Our monthly event happens on the fourth Saturday.
