Vice world tango champion's workshop + London MILONGA
Sunday 10/05: VICTORIA OLIVELLA’S Workshops + Milonga
**We are so honoured to welcome back, this Sunday, the maestra and Worldwide Tango Salon Vice Champion VICTORIA OLIVELLA (Buenos Aires), who will be teaching at Los Angelitos an exclusive class, and celebrate with us at the milonga.**
**Victoria Olivella** is an Argentine tango dancer and teacher recognised for her elegance, musicality, and strong technical foundation. She gained international attention as the **World Vice Champion of Tango in 2022**, a title that established her among the leading figures of the contemporary tango scene. She came so close to being world champion – at this level, the difference between sub-champion and world champion is infinitesimal ;-).
Known for her refined style and expressive interpretation, Olivella performs and teaches at festivals and events across Europe and beyond, often partnering with renowned dancers. Her teaching is especially appreciated for being clear, warm, and practical, focusing on technique, connection, and musical awareness developed through years of experience. You will find her teaching impressively warm and useful, giving tips that she developed in her dancing along the years.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best tango has to offer.
**[CHECK MORE ABOUT VICTORIA & HER FULL PROGRAMME IN LONDON](https://tanguito.co.uk/events/victoria-olivella-at-tanguito-in-2026/)**

Victoria will teach with Bruno both classes. We will start with he beginner / improver lesson on the theme of the ***Sanguchito***, and follow with the 3pm ***Fabulous Sanguchito & Quebrada combinations***: push the boundaries of what you can do with this classic and learn the tricks and technique from a vice champion to make them to die for – well not that far but almost ;-).
Your milonga Los Angelitos will follow, for all to enjoy. What a feast!

Regents Park Rounders and Social/Board Games
**Come join us for some fun in the park**
This is a weekly social park gathering with optional sports and board / social games.
2pm Rounders
3:30pm Social/Board games in the park- please sign up separately [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/games-friends/)[.](https://meetu.ps/e/PfHPb/z45zT/i)
**How to play rounders**
Not played rounders before? It's a traditional English sport for everyone, even the unsporty. Here's a video of us playing: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k)
Rounders is a bat and ball game similar to baseball played by two teams. Your team will be either fielding or batting before swapping after the innings. When batting, the aim is to hit the ball, then try and run around the four posts. Your team gets a rounder if you make it round the four posts without stopping or getting out. You are out if when you hit the ball someone catches the ball before it reaches the ground or someone stumps a post before you get there.
The rules will be explained at the beginning of each meetup with a practice round at the beginning. We play a slightly modified version of the official rules where if you are out, it's not game over for you. Your team will lose a life instead. This will give everyone multiple opportunities to bat.
**It's very simple to pick up and the ball we use is very soft. We are very beginner friendly and the focus is on having fun rather than being competitive**. We attract attendees of all ages and sporting level. You are welcome to come and watch only too. We usually have a few people who do so while having a picnic and enjoying the park.
**Come and meet us**
Meet at 2pm in Regents Park. Here is the map of where we will be playing in the park (Cumberland Green):
[https://www.notion.so/hyau/Rounders-at-Regents-Park-8bc419b72dde4aacaec3870d291636be](https://www.notion.so/hyau/Rounders-at-Regents-Park-8bc419b72dde4aacaec3870d291636be)
You can also find us around here:
[https://what3words.com/swim.jolly.youth](https://what3words.com/swim.jolly.youth) (just look out for our white rounders bases (long, white sticks) and you can usually spot us.
Please feel free to bring food and drinks.
The main rounders game will finish at 3:30pm and this is followed by social/board games or beginner friendly mixed gender football.
**Social/Board Games**
Please check out our [separate meetup event](https://www.meetup.com/games-friends/) for details and sign up there!
**Football**
For mixed gender football we aim to have roughly equal numbers of men and women and 3 ability levels (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced). There may be limited spaces for men for football as we are always oversubscribed.
**Free or play for charity**
Our Sunday social and rounders events are free for everyone. The organisers volunteer their time and fund for the equipment, public liability insurance, marketing and meetup costs to make this happen. We would like our events to raise awareness and money for worthwhile charities.
If you appreciate our events, please consider making a donation on our fundraising page to our supported charity, War Child. To donate and for more info, please visit: [https://www.justgiving.com/page/social-sports-mix-warchild](https://www.justgiving.com/page/social-sports-mix-warchild)

Columbus Serious Online Dating for Beginners
**🎉 Quick Rounds Real Connection for Columbus Locals Live**
On the night, you'll spend your time in short virtual speed dates with Columbus locals in your age group matched for you, as a skilled host keeps the pace natural.
Before you join, a short matching quiz is included in the process — the information you provide there to connect you with Columbus singles who fit your profile, so each round starts with genuine compatibility in mind.
Once the event finishes, mutual matches are shared privately — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and there is no pressure on timing.
**Your age group, your link:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Columbus&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ Note:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so click your age group link, complete the form, and take the short personality questionnaire — places are capped so do this promptly, and the registration is what actually counts, not the RSVP.
---
**Great for:**
- Daters across Columbus looking beyond profiles instead of real people and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- Anyone around Columbus bored of matches that ghost after two messages and want real chemistry over profile photos.
- First-timers from the Columbus area who have had enough of unread messages and dead-end conversations and want actual face-to-face conversation.
**The breakdown**
1. **Find your age group** – by tapping the link for your age group, then complete the personality assessment, since your spot is held only once this is done.
2. **Join the session** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, works on any device without requiring a download, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely.
3. **Chat one-on-one** – curated one-on-one rounds with Columbus singles sorted to your age and personality, with everything paced by a host so nothing drags, and each person in your rounds was chosen for compatibility.
4. **Get your mutual matches** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and everything from that point is on your schedule.
**Event Details**
- **Format:** Professionally hosted via a live video call running short timed video rounds throughout, quiz-and-age matched for every single round.
- **Where:** Fully remote — on any Wi-Fi-connected device, the only requirement is a device with a camera and internet, and whichever room suits you best is ideal.
- **Host:** An attentive host takes care of all the logistics from beginning to end, leaving you free to just connect — there is nothing on your end to organise or manage.
- **Vibe:** Warm personal date rounds with Columbus people who actually turned up, and the format itself removes most of the pressure.
- **Duration:** Most sessions run for an hour give or take all told, and the quick rounds make it feel fast.
💡 **Pre-event tip:** get your lighting sorted ahead of time, and it only takes a couple of minutes to sort, as it is worth doing before you need it not during.
---
✨ One Zoom call, real conversations, real matches — lock in your spot above and we will take care of the matching and we will get you all set up. The host will see you shortly. 💎 ✨
