Port City explores tango music throughout the genre’s history, and features bandoneon visionary Heyni Solera as soloist and composer. Palaver will perform danceable classics alongside contemporary tango-inspired compositions. We will also welcome powerhouse dancers Luna Beller-Tadiar and Sheila Solis Arroyo to join us for a full tanda, or series of tango dances. This performance will celebrate tango’s ongoing evolution and the powerful interplay between music and dance, as well as how the genre is being reclaimed by marginalized identities, especially women and queer artists. 

Join us before the show for a movement workshop with Luna and Sheila from 6:00–6:45 PM. The dancers suggest a $10–30 donation (cash or Venmo), but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

After the performance, join us at Three of Strong for a post-show milonga and afterparty with DJ Sergio Cahueque, snacks and drinks starting at 9:00 PM!
