ARKangel's 'Milonga: A Tango Tale'

ARKangel brings Milonga: A Tango Tale to Southwell Library on Saturday 5 December, a tango-themed dance show that puts the dance itself at the centre of the evening. The title Milonga refers to the traditional Argentine social dance, and the show builds around that, so it's a night of dance rather than a concert or a play. If you've never seen tango performed in a small venue, this is a good place to start.

It's a one-night run, so there aren't multiple dates to choose from. The show starts at 19:30, and tickets are £16.96. The venue is Southwell Library, which puts it in the Southwell area of Nottingham, a bit of a trek from the city centre if you're coming from that direction, so keep that in mind when you're planning your evening. If you're already nearby, it's a straightforward trip; if you're coming from Nottingham, you'll want to leave a bit of time to get there before the 19:30 start.

As for the show, it's a tango-themed dance performance, so the focus is on the movement and the music. It's not a full-scale production with a huge cast, but a focused piece by ARKangel, with the tango theme running through it. If you've got any interest in dance, or if you've just never seen tango live, it's a solid reason to head out on a Saturday night in early December. Tickets are £16.96, and it kicks off at 19:30 at Southwell Library.
