There will be a short (45 minute) intro to tango class taught by Homer (in Junior ballroom) starting at 11:30pm, then...
Blast-off at 12:30 am with dj's Demetrius & Homer (in the main ballroom) playing a well balanced mix of traditional tangos and a wide selection of other tangoable music designed to keep you dancing till the morning!
This is a non-profit, non-alcoholic event fueled by water, coffee, snacks, and great music, landing around 4:30am, unless by popular demand, we keep it going...

Here are DIRECTIONS using public transportation:
(Note: Check the BART and Emery-Go-Round schedules for late and early transportation times.
You may have to come extra early, before the after-hours party, and then afterwards wait around to catch a ride home.
However, we feel that this event will be worth it!
Also, talk to the dj and see if you can get a ride home from someone in attendance.)
- Take the BART to McArthur Station in Oakland.
- Take the Powell Street Emery-Go-Round free Shuttle (catch it infront of the BART station - there are two routes - take the Powell bus not the Hollis one).
- Exit at Kinko's (on Christie Ave near Powell intersection - tell driver you're going to Allegro Ballroom).
- Walk into the plaza that has the Wells Fargo Bank building, Denny's Restaurant, and Gas Station. The Allegro is near the back end of a long series of shops (which includes a Cafe that has good food & coffee).
