Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre has been an active member of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Arts community for the past 40 years. With continuous involvement in exemplifying the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the organization, Zorongo supports and stands by the importance of expressing oneself through art. We encourage anyone who wants to try Flamenco to come to attend a class. We have a beginner's course designed to help new attendees get comfortable with the basics of Flamenco.
As we reopen, we are also looking for new board members to join the Zorongo family. Anyone and everyone is welcome. All you need to do is email Michael Bargas at gmbargas@zorongo.org and a member of the board will contact you to discuss the next steps. If you know someone who would be a good fit, please let them know Zorongo would be happy to have them! "Some members have danced Flamenco for years, others had not heard of this art form before joining the board. That diversity is part of what makes being a member of Zorongo's board interesting, engaging, and rewarding." - Board Member Trish Since 2004, the Longfellow Business Directory has been published in cooperation between the LBA and the Longfellow Nokomis Messenger.

On Friday, May 28th, MIGIZI wishes to bring the community together for a walk down East Lake street in remembrance of George Floyd and to memorialize their space as they acknowledge the past year of challenges, and just as importantly, look ahead to a time of growth and prosperity. There will be a program prior to the walk at 3017 27th Ave S. where speakers and leaders will have the opportunity to speak, sing, pray, and say a blessing for MIGIZI’S new space at 1845 E. Lake St. which plans to open in May 2022. MIGIZI is inviting all community members to come walk with them on May 28th from their previous space at 3017 27th Ave S. Minneapolis to their new building at 1845 E. Lake St. Minneapolis (formerly Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly). They will begin their walk with a gathering at 3017 27th Ave S. at 11:00AM to then finish their event with food at 1845 E. Lake St. by 1:00PM. ABOUT MIGIZI: MIGIZI is a Native American nonprofit organization that has been equipping young people with the academic and professional skills to succeed in school and their careers since 1977. Today, MIGIZI empowers young people with professional training within the media and green industry and provides academic, cultural resources to students around the Twin Cities. Minneapolis bars and restaurants can still apply for temporary expansion permits for outdoor dining. This free permit allows businesses to add seating outside to compensate for reduced indoor capacity. Businesses that were granted temporary outdoor expansion permits on private property last summer do not need to reapply. Businesses that were granted lane use permits will need to reapply. Businesses that would like to change their set up from last summer should contact their license inspector. More information.
