history
we initiated weekly tango dancing (milonga's), on mondays, for 7 years for royal cafe de kroon, arena hotel, de plantage media café, café jerry's, all in amsterdam, the netherlands.

lately
we'd initiated a one time tango dancing night for beach club restaurant, at a dune overlooking the beach of bloemendaal aan zee.

present day
we have new projects for the poorest in buenos aires investigated by the working world (.org !). to see if we can support them.

benefit activities
luna de tango organises and supports the organisation of benefit events with tango to support help projects in argentina or helps others to organise such events. for the realisation of these events many tangodancers from different schools and cities and tango musicians have been ans will be asked to voluntarily give classes and/or give performances.

foundation luna de tango is registered in as a foundation since may 11, 2006, but it started as a club of friends who took initiatives for the realisation of tangosalons in amsterdam.

history of benefit events
