A milonga is a location or event where people dance tango socially. Dancing in the milongas is the goal of most tango dancers: This is the tango scene, the night life, where you get dressed up and go to mingle, socialize and, of course, dance. Dancers in a milonga are expected to be able to navigate the floor smoothly and to follow certain codes of conduct. (Read more here.) A crowded milonga full of expert tangueras and tangueros can be intimidating for new dancers.

​

A práctica (or practice) offers a more informal setting where dancers of any level can focus on practising their moves and improving their technique. Some prácticas, including ours, include teacher supervision. We suggest beginners start with the prácticas and move on to milongas after no less than 6-12 months of dancing.

*Connexion Tango membership: Membership with Connexion Tango gives you a discount on entrance to MonTango's Friday and Sunday milongas. Membership costs $30/year and includes one free entrance. We highly recommend purchasing a membership, which pays for itself if you attend just five milongas in the course of a year. (Note that current MonTango students pay the member price.)
