We would like to share with you our thoughts on Lolita. We want Lolita to be an «Encuentro Milonguero» in every aspect, a reunion among tanguero friends that adhere themselves with passion and care to this kind of event, that appreciate a quiet and respectful round on the dancefloor where each couple adds up to bring life to the harmonic and compact “total”, a total full of strength… of “calm strength”. We appreciate the idea of the traditional Milonga with the basic codes in order to assure the well-being of everyone: “mirada” and “cabeceo”, Seven Dance - Gracia is probably one of the best places in Barcelona for Lolita with such a high-quality ballroom: air conditioning, great sound system and illumination, perfect wooden floor.

Alexis and Fernanda have been part of other events in Barcelona, they have done 10 event editions before.
