Bataclan Tango is a non-profit organization committed to promoting Argentine tango and culture in the Twin Cities. Since our beginning in 2011 we have brought tango orchestras from Buenos Aires to play in concerts and milongas, giving tango lovers in the Upper Midwest the opportunity to be up close to the most authentic tango experience.  Alejandro Ziegler Tango Quartet and Sexteto Milonguero are examples of world class tango orchestras that our local community has enjoyed without going to Buenos Aires.

​

Every fourth Saturday of the month we hold a milonga called Mala Yunta, closely following the traditional style of the milongas in Buenos Aires.  We encourage “cabeceo” as a way to invite partners to the dance floor, include a dose of Argentine folk music, and bring the unique atmosphere of Buenos Aires to the Twin Cities dance floors.
