I receive many comments and mails from Tango Lovers asking me where to find Tango in Cape Town. Lessons and Milongas are offered by a variety of venues. I put together this post of as much information as I have, simply in the spirit of “Tango-Unity”, and it will be updated and revised occasionally. I know I have left people off, and it is not done in malice. Just drop me an email or leave a comment and i will be happy to update.
CT Tango Ensemble: Petrus de Beer, Charles Lazar, Albert Combrink, Stanislav Angelov
Cape Town Tango Ensemble:
The only Tango Orchestra in Cape Town, South Africa, and possibly even Africa. We play for serious concerts and recitals, as well as corporate functions and we are regularly invited to provide live music for dancing at Milongas hosted by various dancing-schools and dance-community members in South Africa.

Dear Michael, thanks for writing! It is wintertime in Cape Town but you will still find many opportunities to dance. CT Tango Ensemble doesn’t always play for the Milongas but we get regular bookings for special occasionas, and the Cape Town Tango crowd have been very supportive over the years. Join the mailinglists above in the posts to find the most up-to-date news. If you are in Cape Town and still stuck, find me on Facebook and I will put you in touch with the people who would know. Enjoy your trip. Cape Town is a fanatastic vity to visit.
