Café Trieste Call (415) 661-1852 for updates Come watch, listen, or join in the dance! All levels and ages are welcome.
By holding the event in an accessible cafe on a Sunday afternoon we encourage the spontaneous inclusion of music and dance in our everyday life as a communal experience Because of this accessibility, many people who would be unlikely to venture into a "Milonga" ("Tango Party") now have the opportunity to try out the social aspect of a dance that seems difficult and which they may only have witnessed from film and stage. For many it is an eye opener of what Argentine Tango is about as they experience the dance the way it is danced in Argentina. This is a place where people can take an introductory dance class with Sonja Riket or practice their dance in a relaxed non-intimidating atmosphere. Non-dancers can watch the moves and immerse themselves in the beautiful tango music. It is also the place where Tango musicians and dancers have been able to try out their first public performance in an informal, yet supportive, environment. Argentine Tango, a social dance and music of immigrants, continues to cross the boundaries of race, culture, language, and social status. What better way to connect with each other across our differences than through the nonverbal power of an embrace?! Tango Revolution is the place to begin realizing this idea in community. A comment from a regular Tango Revolution dancer: "As a recent addition to the Bay Area, I was delighted to discover this unique event. It is the most accessible tango event in the city and the only place I have found that makes it possible to enjoy tango with non-dancers".
