THE oxygen milonga

this saturday MArch 21st

celebrating the vernal equinox and the onset of spring

this is the 6th oxygen milonga
why do we put these on?
because, we love you :)

remember your beautiful memories
from the past five oxygen milongas?

we hire the most experienced DJ's in town
we follow the formula from great tango festivals:
wherever the great music is
that's where the great dancers are...

your deep and connected dancing here
serves a larger purpose too:
so far as a community
we have put more than 600 trees in the ground
let's add more oxygen to a world that needs it

this time we have some beautiful happenings
specifically to celebrate the joy of spring
and new beginnings together as a community

a performance by jay abling from portland
with miss mitra martin

one time only dancing together in LA!!
come see something fresh and new

we have invited DJ jacob eggers
previously from boston, MA and now here in LA
to DJ once again
it's a rare treat to have him DJ
remember the beautiful music he played
at oxygen last christmas??

fabienne bongard
will be presiding over a special green raffle
with a special prize

we are also pleased to introduce
some new members of the LA Tango scene
who have been studying with us
for several months now
they have formed a team of volunteers
to decorate the space
and create special springtime treats

brought to you with LOVE by the dancers of Barrio Mar Vista, a volunteer-based community cooperative specializing in Tango Awesomeness!

When you come and dance all night, you are actually supporting a more oxygen-rich world! We have a One-Tree-Per-Dancer policy-partnership with The Nature Conservancy's Plant A Billion Project in Brazil & Argentina. For every single dancer who comes to Oxygen, we donate $1 which plants a tree in this reforestation project. With the community's great commitment to this program already we have planted over 700 fresh green oxygenating trees in the past year!

"Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain."
