“Tango in the Castle II” To Be One of 2012’s Most Memorable New York Events
Last year, one of the most fantastic and unique events of the year was Tango in the Castle, an Argentine Tango show, complete with drinks, professional performances, and a milonga (tango social) that is open for the public to dance tango. And it all takes place at Morningside Castle, which sports beautiful architecture and a Gothic look that makes the Tango that much more romantic and enjoyable.
Those of you who know me know that as a tango dancer I have been to many events in New York City. I say with total confidence that, whether you dance tango or not, this is not an evening to miss, especially with ticket prices as low as around $50.
