Cell Space is organized by Project Tango a volunteer-run organization. Their mission is “To promote tango as a social dance and evolving art form in our world culture while building and maintaining individual and community integrity, balance and respect.” Cell Space is the only “alternative” music milonga in San Francisco. The music is 50/50 with rotating traditional and alternative sets. This is a great place for beginners as it’s more relaxed than many other venues. The beginner and intermediate classes before the milonga are a great deal at only $5 and are taught by rotating instructors and sometimes Homer and Christina when they are in town. Classes at 8:10pm, milonga 9:10 – midnight.

Admission: $10 class & milonga/ $5 milonga
