If you don’t know it, this is the opportunity to come and have a look and why not take the plunge (of dancing). Every Sunday evening in summer, time stops on the forecourt of the Vieille-Bourse which becomes a dance floor. Dancers move to the tempo of the Argentinian tango. A show that takes anyone who passes by to admire the milonga on a journey. Especially since it is free for the eyes.
The organization is led by the two Lille associations Tango? Tango! and Le Huit Renversé. Here are the dates when you can find tango:
