My friend Darlene in Denver did this, albeit at the same location. She had some way of texting people en masse to let them know if it was on or off. You might contact her for some tips on this. Here is her myspace link: http://www.myspace.com/luv2dancetango

I always wanted to go into the space that was once Triangulo in the meat packing district and stage an impromptu tanda of pugliese. I believe the lovely space is now part of a restaurant.

Hi Sorin,

Well, I've seen guerrilla milongas work, and I'd suggest that you don't throw the towel yet. First of all, there's nothing wrong with just having a handful of people.

[I thought about it in the context of "Random Acts of Dancing" (since we would be doing ballroon, latin, and swing)...but I never tried to organize it among my dancing friends and acquaintances since I'm fairly sure they'd balk at the last minute no matter how cool an idea they thought it was originally...]

I wish you success in your effort! :)

I've always been intrigued by the idea of flash mobs and dance. And I mentioned a 2004 tango flash mob a couple years ago - here and here. And wrote post recently about flash mobs and dance.

Can I ask how you promoted yours? Are you going to give it another try?
