HISTORY of this wonderful outdoor milonga is, it is now in its 10th year - original creator was Lucille Krasne 1997 (from her Hit & Run Tango, HIT and RUN TANGO, or Hit n Run Tango, they were usually just a one time tango dance she set up around town - anywhere! for tango dancers to have fun dancing and to expose NYC to tango. As you can tell this one was a Hit & Stayed!) assisted & then solely continued by Gerald, Art & Rick 1997-98. Rick 98-99. Rick continued with Trey 2000-2004. Now Trey continues on with Hernan 2005-....

Your Official Host/or DJ's are
Robin Thomas, Ko Tanaka, Trey Parker, Richard Lipkin, Guy Kloppenberg and Rick Castro . Rick and/or Trey usually do the announcements, Ko Schedules the Dance Instructors (contact any member if you are interested in Teaching or assisting with this milonga in some capacity).

This milonga is now in its 8th year (1999). The history is;
Ko, Yardiel, Sanae, Karen started this milonga after Yardiel suggested this location as an alternative to a different milonga that was way uptown & indoors from them. Ko was the first Dj and continues today, he also came up with the name. Ko, Guy and Rick were instrumental in keeping this milonga happening every Sunday since its first year. The rest of us all stepped in at one point since to maintain, help, assist in some needed function to continue this great milonga. Over the last three years we have created the committee we are today to insure the continuity and excellence of this beautiful summer milonga for all here in NYC, tango dancers from around the world and visitors to learn of its joy we feel it offers to all.
* indicates months with 5 Sundays
