Which social environment do we want?
Tango Abrazo strives for an inclusive environment where all members and visitors treat each other with respect. Please talk to someone about it if you experience anything not in accordance with this. Warm regards from the Tango Abrazo Board.
Some people are bothered or even get really sick from perfume or aftershave. We ask you not to use it during milonga or other events organised by Tango Abrazo. As some of our members will be forced to leave if they feel the smell. Show consideration for your dance partners and friends!
