Guardia Vieja

05/01/2026

Due to a series of unfortunate events, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the final Cruzadito. 💔

While this isn’t how we envisioned closing this chapter, I’m incredibly excited to pass the baton to Drew & Sophie as they continue building and growing the Tango community.

If you were hoping for a way to still celebrate, connect, and say goodbye, I’ll be attending their event, the Mini Midwest Marathon, happening the same weekend in Cleveland (link to tickets in bio).

Juan & Pato will also be there, and we’re so excited to have them helping bridge this transition and bring the magic forward.

I truly hope to see you there. 💛✨️🎵

A big shout out to for getting our Facebook event sent up! We'll be dropping tickets and our full schedule in the next couple of weeks, so please keep following us here and/or on Facebook (event link in our bio). We hope to be seeing you in 17 weeks ... yes, we're counting down!!

✨ SAVE THE DATE ✨

Today marks the 8 year anniversary of Guardia Vieja and we thought we would start with a nod to our beginnings. This image by the incredible Photographer Nikos Zacharakis was the the first one we used as we launched our brand identity and we wanted to circle back to it, as we ask you to join us as we celebrate 8 years of Guardia Vieja and the community that made it possible. 💛

Our final farewell event will be Cruzadito | Tango x Cleveland, taking place from June 18-21, 2026. Cruzadito is a celebration of Tango in its many forms: music, dance, film, and social connection. This multi-day celebration will stretch across Cleveland’s East Side, West Side, and everywhere in between.

This event also marks a bittersweet moment: a farewell to Guardia Vieja. While we say goodbye, we do so with deep gratitude, celebrating the roots of tango in Buenos Aires and the close friends and partners in Cleveland who will continue to build, carry, and evolve these traditions forward.

Above all, we want this final Guardia Vieja event to be mostly sweet. And that sweetness comes from you: your presence, your embraces, your dancing, your shared memories. Please save the date, start planning your trip, and stay tuned for more details to come. We can’t wait to gather and create one more time!

Closing another chapter

05/21/2025

A few more highlights and a few more shout outs from the Pop Up Milonga last month. We heard from a lot of you that you really noticed all the extra little touches that went into our milonga and we would be remiss to not introduce you to the people who created the magic behind the scenes!

My dear friend Cali brought the ambience to life with the incredible flowers throught the weekend, but especially to the milonga. A special note of gratitude to .floral for creating these unique little bouquets that speak so well to how important it is for each of us to develop and dance our unique Tango while we remain a part of the wider Milonga.

Next up, who kept us nourished and energized to match our incredible DJ 's tandas throughout the night.

And of course so hard to catch, because they were gone so fast were the alchemical cocktails by Liz of - this one is more of a sensory memory for me. The smell of sage wafting through the Brownhoist and the savory spicy Harissa and carrot. I hope we've created tons of food for those who missed it.

Now, you might be noticing the performance pics are missing. If you're eager to see more (much much more) of all the pics took, head to our FB page, but also when it comes to the performances, keep following IG for the first drop of Performance Videos coming soon.

✨ What a weekend! ✨
We had such a blast at the Cleveland Art Crawl — it was amazing connecting with so many of you. And now, we're counting down the days to the Majo & Rodrigo Workshop Weekend! 🎉💃🕺

We know some of you might be traveling or juggling other plans, and we definitely don’t want you to miss out on the magic this duo brings. That’s why we’re offering something extra special...

🎉 Private Lessons with Majo & Rodrigo are now open for booking! 🎉
Whether you can’t make the workshops but still want to connect, are on the fence and want a taste before committing, or you already know you'll want to dive deeper after the weekend — this is your chance.

🌿 All private lessons will take place at the beautiful Laurie Meyers Yoga studio. Huge thanks to Laurie for her generosity and support of our Cleveland Tango community — we are so grateful for her warmth and welcoming space. ❤️

🕒 Space is limited — don’t wait to grab your private lesson spot! Link in bio to sign up. Let’s make this a weekend full of movement, music, and community.

✨ At Guardia Vieja, we've always cherished the intersection of Art and Tango. But our love for both truly came to life once we met the incredible Tina Rozados. 💛

We’re beyond thrilled to share a sneak peek of a unique tribute to commemorate the unforgettable Workshop Weekend with Majo Martirena and Rodrigo Fonti! If you have been to Guardia Vieja events in Cleveland, you likely have a bit of a collection going, so be sure not to miss this next one and come join us this April 25th-27th. :)

But that’s not all! We also want to take a moment to celebrate another amazing partnership: Drew & Soph Tango. 🎉 This event simply wouldn’t be possible without joining forces with our fellow Cleveland friends and organizers who share our passion for Tango, Art, and the Cleveland Community. Watching Drew & Soph grow and uplift the Cleveland Tango Scene through their work at Viva and the one-of-a-kind Art Crawl Milonga has been nothing short of inspiring. With so many shared values and a mutual love for the community, collaborating just made sense! 💃🕺

To celebrate Tango, Art, Drew & Soph, and our beautiful Cleveland Community, we’re bringing back a one-night-only Early Bird rate! 🎟️

Here’s how it works:
✨ Join us at the Art Crawl Milonga next Friday, April 4th at Six Shooter in Collinwood (starting at 8 PM).
✨ I’ll be there in person, ready to chat, answer your questions, and help you sign up at the Early Bird rate — perfect for those who may have missed it or just prefer the good ol’ in-person vibe!
✨ Plus, we’ll enjoy some sweet tandas at the milonga together. 💃

Mark your calendars, bring your questions, and let’s celebrate the magic of Tango, Art, and Community. Can’t wait to see you there! 🥂✨

🎧 Our DJ for the night? The one and only Kim Scola! 🎧

If you don’t know Kim, here’s why you should: The moment tango found her, she fell in love with the music. She quickly became a sought-after DJ, spinning at events all across North America. Kim’s style is all about setting the perfect vibe—positive, uplifting, and full of musical richness—to inspire your best tandas. ✨

🥂 But wait, there’s more! We’ll have libations from Chemical X, a signature of every Guardia Vieja event.

💥 And the highlight of the night? Your ONLY chance to watch Majo & Rodrigo perform LIVE! 🤩
