The Magic Roundabout Milongas 2019

The Magic Roundabout Milongas 2019

by

The Magic Roundabout Milonga organises Argentine tango dance events for people who like traditional tango music. Five years ago I became a part of the MR Milongas team. Since then there have been Magic Roundabout (MR) Milongas in Bristol (Almondsbury), Tidenham Chase, Kington Langley and Lydney.  

Lovely memories of some of our milongas can be found in my YouTube playlists:

If you enjoy dancing to music from the Golden Age of Tango in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, then you will like The Magic Roundabout Milongas. We believe that the details make a difference to your dance experience. At the events you’ll find sprung wooden dance floors, excellent sound, cabeceo friendly lighting, experienced DJs, free tea and coffee and free parking. At the moment we are using three venues: 

  • Kington Langley Village Hall, Chippenham
  • Watney Hall, 3 Hill Street, Lydney, Gloucestershire

You’ll find more information about the venues further down.
