Third NYC Edition Showcase & Gala Night

Join us for the third New York City edition of Starry Night Tango — a distinctive cultural experience where tango students and maestros share the stage in a professionally curated showcase, celebrating the art of learning, performance, and community.

​

This year’s edition expands into a full evening experience, bringing together stage performance, a special Master Class with world-renowned tango artist Guillermina Quiroga, live music, and social dance in one continuous celebration of Argentine tango.

​

The night begins with a curated showcase, featuring students and teachers presenting collective works and Pro-Am pieces in an elegant theatrical setting.

​

Following the performance, guests are invited to participate in a special pre-milonga Master Class led by Guillermina Quiroga, one of the most celebrated artists in Argentine tango. This unique class creates a bridge between the stage and the social dance floor before the evening continues into the Gala Milonga.

​

The Gala Milonga features live music by the Maurizio Najt Tango Quartet — a rare and highly anticipated musical experience in the New York tango scene.

​

Live tango orchestras are rarely featured in social milongas, making this a unique

opportunity to experience tango music and dance in its most authentic form.

​

Led by renowned pianist Maurizio Najt, a central figure in the New York tango revival, the quartet brings together internationally acclaimed musicians, including Latin Grammy-winning bandoneonist Rodolfo Zanetti, with performances across major stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and international touring circuits.

​

Throughout the milonga, the quartet accompanies both the social dancing and our signature Maestro Rounds — where teachers first dance with each other and then share the floor with participating students, creating one of the most vibrant and inclusive moments of the night.

​

More than an event, Starry Night Tango is a space where performance, education, live music, and social dance come together — connecting artists, students, and audiences in one shared experience.
