Tuesday, June 12th

7pm - 10pm

Upstairs Ballroom at the Vet's Club

16th & Willamette

This year, Bailonga falls exactly on my birthday! As I did two years ago, I wanted to celebrate with a full night of alternative music and a fundraiser. Tango dancers and non-tango dancers alike are welcome! 

This fundraiser is a fairly selfish one because All the profits from this event will be donated to The Ehlers-Danlos Society, to support research and awareness of Ehler's Danlos Syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or EDS for short is the reason that I dance so rarely. It’s a connective tissue disorder that causes chronic pain, frequent injury, and many other health issues. It currently has no cure and treatment options for it are extremely limited. 

From their website, donations to Ehlers-Danlos society supports: "The Ehlers-Danlos Society Center for Research and Clinical Care, global patient learning conferences, medical and scientific symposiums, research, and support and scholarships." 

For more info or to donate directly, visit: www.ehlers-danlos.com

You can learn more about how and why EDS affects my dancing here: https://www.yoppvoice.com/single-post/2017/05/10/Why-dont-I-ever-see-you-Dancing-What-is-EDS

So come spend a night dancing to my favorite alternative music, celebrate my birthday, and donate to a cause that’s important to me personally!

Tuesday, June 19th

7pm - 10pm

Upstairs Ballroom at the Vet's Club

16th & Willamette

Join us for another evening of Live Music with our favorite duo with Carmen Maret and Andrew Bergeron of the Folias Duo! I am always so excited to hear their flawless and intricate take on traditional tango music, that has so many layers to dance to despite only having two instruments. Carmen and Andrew will also be teaching the intermediate lesson before the dance. This event will be this month’s traditional night and there will be beverages and refreshments provided. 

From their website: 

“The Folias Duo consists of flutist Carmen Maret and guitarist Andrew Bergeron. For the past fifteen years, this husband and wife duo has established themselves as one of the world’s premier composer/performer ensembles for flute and guitar. Having composed more than fifty original compositions for this intimate combination, Folias Duo’s performances have taken them to venues throughout the United States, Europe and South America. Bergeron and Maret have a fearless approach to developing new repertoire, an expertise for Argentine tango, and a passion for South American folk, jazz and world music. As Fanfare Magazine writes: "Carmen Maret and Andrew Bergeron are facile players…they draw on tango rhythms and melodies sometimes; at other times they write with a scenic sensitivity…mysterious…charming…evocative.”
