Welcome!
We
are a group of dancers who meet regularly for practicas, milongas and
the occasional special event. We look forward to meeting you. Please see
the information below for our regular meeting locations and dates as
well as ways to get in touch with us. If you're new to tango, we recommend that you check out the FAQ!
We are a community that is friendly and welcoming to everyone. Please read our code of conduct for more information.
***COVID-19 NOTICE***
All of our events are on a temporary hold. We continue to monitor events and will keep you informed as to when we may resume our regular weekly tango schedule .
In the meantime,
please stay tuned! Tango In Bend will resume activities as soon as it has been
confirmed that it is safe to begin dancing. Clay Nelson, the organizer of
Portland Valentango for many years, has organized an open online forum to discuss
the important questions of: when can we re-open, what are the new rules, what
is the proper etiquette and what are the responsibilities of organizers and
attendees? We invite you to contribute your thoughts and hear what others are
saying! Click Here to go
to Clay’s site and join the conversation!
TIB will be following Clay Nelson’s process
for moving Tango forward as we all approach “the light at the end of the Covid
tunnel”.
