Milonga - Practica - Orango Tango - Parking - History - Pictures
The Tango Club at UCLA is a group of friendly, laid-back students who learn tango by classes at UCLA and outside, practice tango at weekly practicas, and host monthly dances ("milongas") as well as workshops taught by outside professional tango instructors. Beginners and non-UCLA public are welcome to attend! More information about dance events in the Los Angeles area can be found at Tango Afficionado and the Caltech Tango Club website.
The Tango Club at UCLA is currently sponsored by Very Fine Dance Shoes, which has offered us great deals on dance shoes!

Check out our pictures of the Beach Milonga (April 08, Will Rogers State Beach) and the Mallonga (May 08, Century City). We will send out emails through the mailing list for future Orango Tango events.
Parking at UCLA
Link to UCLA Transportation and parking.
Parking at street meters and in UCLA parking garages equipped with meters is $2 per hour. After 9 pm, parking is free, except in lot 6. If you don't want any hassle, you can go to the UCLA parking kiosks and pay $8 for the entire night for parking in a garage. It is recommened that visitors unfamiliar with parking at UCLA ask for assistance at one of the information booths when entering the UCLA campus, since information presented here may have change.
If you don't mind walking a little, one place to find free street parking is on Gayley Ave. and in adjoining streets. You could start at Gayley Ave. and Strathmore, and then proceed north or south along Gayley or west along Strathmore. This is the student housing area, and on weekends it may be both crowded and a tad rowdy.
Alternatively, free parking is available in the upscale residential neighborhood east of UCLA (such as along Warner Ave. or Woodruff Ave). Parking is free after 6 pm and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Make sure you park in an area where parking is permitted according to street signs. Also, make sure you have a map and familiarize yourself with the streets so you don't get lost in the dark!
Good luck in finding parking!
