p r e s e n t s
EMPANADA MILONGA
at. St. Clement's, 2837 Claremont Blvd., Berkeley
SUNDAY JUNE 14, 2026
1:30-2:15 FREE INTRO TO TANGO

We thought this was a perfect time to offer a free introduction to Argentine tango class to start the summer.
Dan Gilliland has been devoted to the art of Argentine Tango for over 14 years. He has performed as a featured dancer many times in the Bay Area, most recently with a lovely partner two weeks ago at St. Clements, at the premiere of a new tango performed with a full orchestra. St Clement's own TRTSO.
Many in the audience wanted to know where they could start learning tango, and Dan has volunteered to teach a free intro to tango class with his partner before our Empanada Milonga. (Donations always appreciated!)
2:30-6:30 LIVE MUSIC MILONGA + DJ
