After 18 months of Covid-19 protocols we are finally open to all - no longer vaccine and mask requirements!

Come join us for our 10th year of Empanada Milonga in Berkeley featuring guest live musicians and of course the fabulous Don An, known for his DJ and curating skills at San Jose's Dance Boulevard. Don brings his exquisite knowledge and selection of recorded Argentine tango music, meticulously edited, both traditional and modern.

Last month our own Orquesta Z  introduced  Emily Bouton on violin to rousing applause, as we played a set of traditional and alternative tangos - chosen to be danceable!  This month we are doubly delighted to premiere our newest member of Orquesta Z, Elena Bouton, Emily's older sister and also a violin virtuoso.  They are guaranteed to delight you tango dancers!


As is our tradition, we include tasty refreshments, homemade empanadas, and complimentary fine Argentine wines. Come celebrate Argentine tango at the sweetest afternoon milonga in the Bay Area with some of the friendliest and best dancers!


Admission: 

$25  Empanada Milonga w/ DJ Don An & special performance by Orquesta Z  (2-6 PM)
