In July & August our monthly milongas are outdoors on Eton Bridge. It's a beautiful location. We dance tango in a magical romantic setting on the bridge over the Thames overlooked by Windsor Castle as the sun sets over the river. The bridge is closed to traffic and has lovely views.
The 2012 Eton Bridge milongas will be on 7th July & 4th August 2012.
Weather permitting, we dance from 7.30pm until 10:30pm or later. £9.00
The dance surface is street paving with a camber so please take care in your choice of shoes and adapt your dancing to suit the surface.
The milongas are organised with kind permission from Windsor & Eton town management. The local bylaws prohibit the consumption of alcohol on Eton Bridge, but there are plenty of nice pubs and bars nearby.
This is the current weather forecast for Windsor for the next 3 days:
Music selection
We pay particular attention to the choice of music at our milongas. 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 you will be enchanted by the music in an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.
