[Tango-A] NA-E: Plugging up the holes: milonga schedule in NYC

[Lucille Krasne]

ATTEMPTING TO PLUG UP THE HOLES IN THE MILONGA SCHEDULE
WITH A FEW NEW VENUES FOR  NYC FOR THE SERIOUS DANCER

I have noticed that, while there are may be 19 to 24 terrific milongas per
any 7-day-week in NYC, with all except one taking place in Manhattan itself
plus 6-8 practicas and several special workshops filling in the rest of the
Saturdays and Sundays and some afternoons, there is nothing much
scheduled 2 AM to 7AM.

Many friends have complained endlessly about the ridiculous lack of options
for very late/very early dances. After 7 AM when so many must get off to
work, it is fairly useless to program milongas. But we might do something
good, creative, humane, and very needed for the many who feel at loose-ends
in these specific hours. So starting in May friends and I are organizing a
series of late-late night or early-early morning milongas to take up the
slack for serious dancers.  These will just be dancing, with no performances
or classes offered.  See scheduled listings below (so far).

At the very bottom see addresses for all venues. Most have a $10 admission,
2 are free-of-charge with sponsors.

Starting in May--Most beginning at 2 AM. After monthly Sat night All-nighter
will start at 6 and continue to brunch time. Sunday night after my own,
Esmeralda's, plus Monday's and Friday's, the late-late night milonga starts
at 1:30 for a smoother transition. Late-night dining and brunch (very cheap
and very good) available at all  listed.

APRIL FOOLS!  BUT maybe this schedule is getting to be more like BsAs.
Apologies if you are in a country which does not "celebrate"
April Fools' day.
