As we have chosen to close Tango Garden until things normalise again with the coronavirus situation for the health and well-being of the tangueros and the population at large, but still have large losses due to venue hire costs and loss of income, on the suggestion of some of our regulars, we have created a Gofundme account, through which we are able to accept donations.
