Casa Gardeliana

Medellín

Located in Barrio Manrique, Casa Gardeliana was Medellín's main tango venue for years, hosting tango bands and dance shows. It still holds events occasionally but is now basically a small tango museum. On the last Friday of the month, the casa hosts the 'Gran Fiesta Tangera' (6pm to 9:30pm) with Argentine empanadas, wine and plenty of dancing. Reserve a table.

It's possible to organize private dance classes here (COP$80,000, 90 minutes) – the price is the same for one dancer or many, so get a group together.
