The Tango Social Club - Studio Tango Montréal location
7755 St-Laurent Boulevard, #200-A&B Montréal QC, H2R 1X1. 514 844 2786
Métros de Castelnau or Jarry or 55 bus
All of the LaFête Milongas will be held here!
The Studio Tango Montréal / Tango Social Club space is located in the up-and-coming Villeray district. The space includes two large studios, each with a very distinctive style plus a smaller studio that is used mainly for private classes and small rehearsals. What's truly wonderful, is that it's even possible to open up a passageway between the two larger spaces so that both studios can be used simultaneously during a milonga, upping the capacity to well over 300.
Villeray: Village feel, family-oriented, full of artists' and craftmen's studios and hipster cafes. Landmarks include the beautiful Jarry Park (just across the street from our venue) and the wonderful Jean-Talon market.
A bit more info about the local tango scene:
THE MONTREAL MILONGA VIBE
Montrealers like to go out, (in fact it is literally possible to dance tango every single night of the year in Montreal). “Atmosphere” is omni-important here. All our milongas have a “club feel” (nice lighting, candles, tables & chairs, bars), great dance floors, DJ’s who know their tango music, and excellent sound systems.
We have a liquor permit for the LaFête activities: Beer, wine, mousseux, & spirits as well as various non-alcoholic drinks will be for sale at the bar.
A glass of mousseux will be offered to everyone at midnight on New Year’s Eve. It is not permitted (or legal) to bring in your own alcoholic drinks.
WHAT TO WEAR - HOW TO DRESS
In Montreal, anything goes fashion-wise, but it should be noted that in general Montrealers tend to dress up a bit more on the weekend nights, and for sure New Year's Eve brings out the party dresses, so be prepared for a bit of sparkle!
CABACEOS, TANDAS & OTHER DANCE FLOOR STUFF
The cabaceo is not used by everyone here. In Montreal it is not unheard of for women to invite men, although perhaps not done frequently between strangers.
Hint for people coming alone: Try and hang out near the water cooler or snack table. In most milongas it is the best area of the room for mingling.
The milongas are less crowded towards the beginning and ends of each evening. Arriving early when there are less people can often help facilitate mixing and meeting new people.
