The concept of ::tangoteca:: is to provide a place to dance and communicate to those who love argentine tango in all of its forms and styles. The evening begins with a dance class for all levels and continues with a tango party, the first part of which is a milonga in the best traditions of Buenos Aires, with music mainly from and in the style of the great orchestras from the Golden Age of tango. In the second part, the party continues with contemporary tango music with emphasis on electronic tango compiled with some tango nuevo and some alternative non-tango music, appreciated by tango dancers. The idea of ::tangoteca:: is to bring together in one evening dancers from different generations, with different music preferences and dance styles to enjoy the magic of argentine tango.

New teachers of the tango class from April

From the beginning of April 2008, Studio TanguerIN's tango class at the beginning of ::tangoteca:: will be for beginners and will be taught by Stoyan and Aneta, an experienced tango couple from Sofia. Stoyan started his argentine tango training with Ivo and Nadia in 2005 having had already an experience in ballroom dancing. Since then has been actively taking classes in Bulgaria and abroad, including classes with many famous argentinean maestros. He is recognized by his smooth and elegant dance style. Aneta has been dancing argentine tango since 2001, having had as well an extensive background in ballroom dances, and since 2004 she had been attending regularly tango classes at TanguerIN Studio. In addition to her tango training in Bulgaria she has visited a number of tango festivals and events in Europe and Argentina, taking classes with some of the finest tango dancers and teachers in the world. She is obsessed with taking women's technique classes with world famous female tango dancers. Her dancing experience includes also salsa and belly dancing.

A good quarter

The organizers of ::tangoteca:: are pleased to note that during the first three months of 2008 the interest in the milonga has been constantly rising. Having started as an experiment on 24th October, 2007, ::tangoteca:: quickly became one of the popular milongas on the Sofia tango scene. Laid-back environment, central location, unique music concept combining traditional and contemporary tango, open end are all factors which, among others, have contributed to the assertion of ::tangoteca:: as the favourite place of many people who love and dance argentine tango. The organizers wish to thank all tango aficionados in Sofia and guests from abroad for their support and interest, promising to keep on with the original music sets, compiled by the resident DJ and milonga founder Ivo.
