Thank you so much, Philadelphia community, for the buena onda. Private lessons sold out, full workshops, an amazing Milonga Qilombo. Thank you thank you thank you!
And thank you, Emiliano Messiez and Juan Villarreal (and Hanna & Reiner) for El Ultimo Cafe.

Celebrating 18 years of promoting tango as a dance, music & poetry that can enrich anyone's life.
Since 2008, the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School (PATS) has been promoting Argentine tango as a form of dance, music and poetry that can enrich anyone’s life. Tango dancing is based on walking, and is accessible to people of all ages. Tango music is in the midst of a renaissance and, as one of the leading tango music presenters in the United States, PATS is honored to be part of that. New tango
