Tango on Eton Bridge

In July & August our monthly milongas are outdoors on Eton Bridge.

It's a beautiful location. We Tango in a magical romantic setting on the Bridge over the river Thames overlooked by Windsor Castle as the sun sets over the river. The bridge is closed to traffic and has lovely views.

The next Eton Bridge milonga is scheduled for 7th August 2010.

We'll be dancing from 7.30pm until 10:30pm or later. £8.00

The dance surface is street paving with a camber so please take care in your choice of shoes and adapt your dancing to prevent any risk of injury.

The Milongas are organised with support from Windsor & Eton town management. The local bylaws prohibit the consumption of alcohol on Eton Bridge, but there are plenty of pubs and bars nearby.

If the weather is not suitable for dancing outdoors then the Milonga may be postponed or held at an alternative venue. If in doubt check here for details.

Music selection

The choice of music makes all the difference at a Milonga, so we pay particular attention to this. You can expect a rich variety of the very best traditional Tango, Milonga and Vals played in structured Tandas.

Because of the special nature of the Eton Bridge milongas we plan to play 1 or 2 tandas of more modern Tango music, and we will not be using cortinas.

We hope that whether you’re a die-hard Tanguero or a relative newcomer, from our own community or a visitor from further afield, you will be enchanted by the music in an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.
