Music + Dance at The Dome
The Tango Night Club
“Night Club” Tango is inspired by the New York City nightclubs of the 30s and 40s where the music and the musicians were the stars of the show. Most NY night clubs of this era had dancing, but these shows were wildly popular with the non-dancing public as well.
“Night Club” Tango at The Dome is a combination of sit-down music concert and Milonga Atipica. For the sit-down concert, we cover the dance floor with pillows, move chairs, and get closer to the musicians for a more intimate listening vibe. The concert lasts about half an hour and the rest of the evening is dancing to live music, and adventuresome DJ sets/tandas.*

Cortina Concert Solos
A unique feature of our Milonga Atipica is the "Cortina Concert Solos." These cortinas are one full-length song performed as a mini concert by one or two musicians. Dancers, please leave the dance floor for the Cortina Solos.*
