Carablanca Tango Club: with lessons, music & DJ Marek Szotkowski

Carablanca is London’s longest-running tango club and takes place on Fridays. The friendly, informal atmosphere ensures that beginners and visitors mix easily with the regular dancers. The dance evening is an Argentine milonga.  Music is traditional Argentine tango, milonga and vals, played in tandas with cortinas by guest DJs.

The venue, Conway Hall, is a 1920s period building in Central London.  The main hall has a large wooden floor – ideal for dancing – and the bar is excellent value, with a wide choice of drinks and splendid cocktails.

Now living in Manchester, this week’s guest DJ is Marek Szotkowski (La Milonga Conexion). He has DJed many times at Carablanca and we warmly welcome him back again.  He plays traditional music in tandas with cortinas, varying the pace and feel of the music while maintaining the flow and energy.

The Beginners tango course, which starts on the first Friday of the month, is for those with no knowledge of tango.
