Well, here's something a little different. It's a dance party - with a tango twist - in the heart of the Wynwood district. Join other tango-istas at the Factory Milonga every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. and boogie down in this warehouse in Miami.

It's a weekly shindig that starts with a beginner's class taught by Sofia Kaufmann, who is the co-organizer of the event. She learned tango in Uruguay and took workshops in Argentina to master the dance.

The Milonga, known as an afterparty, starts at 10 and goes until  2 a.m.

The cost: $10.

The beverage code: bring your own - vino is popular among the tango communities and sharing is a tradition.

"Not just sharing a dance, but the drinks, too," says Kaufmann. 

This Wednesday, you'll get a special treat - Kaufmann and another duo will be performing at 11 p.m.

Speak up!
