Fest Milongas!

Sign up here

Friday at 9pm -3am in the Branford Dining Hall
True Blue Milonga
DJ Robin Thomas from NYC
Blue is the new black! Blue is the color of Yale and we think it looks fabulous on everybody. So wear something in tango blue. It's optional but we think it will make it easier for you to decide what to wear...and if you wanted an excuse to shop for something new, there's no excuse for not getting something blue.
Branford Dining Hall is a beautiful high-ceilinged dining hall with comfy seating around, and an excellent wood floor.
Directions

Saturday at 10pm - 6am in Harkness Ballroom
Yale Fest All Night Milonga
DJ Shorey Myers from San Francisco
Ready to dance the night away? When we say all night, we really mean it--we keep dancing until the very last tangueros have gone to sleep. This is the biggest milonga of the fest. We've invested in professional grade theatrical lighting (with great advice from a milonguero you probably know) and decorations to make our ballroom look warm and welcoming. So don't miss out!
Ladies and Gentlemen come dressed to impress, but remember wear something comfortable...when we say all night, we mean ALL night! Last year we danced until 6:30AM!
Directions

Sunday 1-4pm in Harkness Ballroom
Brunch Milonga
DJ Tine Herreman from NYC/Yale
Lots of hot strong coffee, fruit and bagels will perk you up for more dancing.
Directions

Sunday 9.30 pm - 3 or 4 am in Harkness Ballroom
Midsummer Night Milonga
DJ Alex Krebs from Portland OR
Tired of winter? Well, we think winter has lasted long enough. Come join us on Sunday for A Mid Summer's Night Milonga. Please wear whatever you would wear in summer. We are aiming for a colorful effect so bright colors and summer patterns are welcome.
This is not a costume party, so don't go here: speedos, inflatable accessories (i.e. inner tubes, inflatable sharks, floaties, etc…..) or bulky beach paraphernalia (i.e. surf boards).
Directions

Sign up here

Registration is not required but it would be helpful if you could sign up and pay ahead of time, because our options to handle cash at the door are limited. You can sign up online until 11 am of the day of the milonga. If you sign up after Thursday night, please print out your paypal receipt and bring it with you.
We do recommend you check availability on the website before setting out.

If you want to travel back to your own bed, there is a commuter train from New Haven to Grand Central Station NYC at
4.40am Saturday morning
4.40, 5.55 and 6.55 am Sunday morning and
11.18pm Sunday night and 4.12 am and every half hour following on Monday morning
It is very inexpensive ($14) and convenient (hop on train, pass out until the final stop).
