Apothica Teas and Eric Gingerich are hosting the first milonga in Niles, MI, on Saturday, September 27th, in the upstairs ballroom. This is your opportunity to have a really special night out (think: fancy, like you're going to the ball of the century) while supporting a local business and a growing tango community. A signficant portion of the entry fee will go to Apothica Teas. The rest will help support Eric as he returns to Cuba this Fall/Winter to further his dance education. The best way to support us is to purchase the full package. Advanced pricing is now available until 9/26.
