Verde Gallery is a popular location for monthly tango dances. Organized by Melih Sener, the dances start with a complimentary lesson, and feature Melih's special brew of tango music.

Verde is a pleasant hang out, with coffee, snacks, beer and wine in the cafe, and exhibits by local artists in the gallery. Starting in January, Verde will also host a tango practice one Friday each month, led by Joe Grohens.
