Milongas & Prácticas
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.

LA MILONGA ALTERNATIVA
On the last Friday of every month, the Milonga Alternativa celebrates the evolution of tango music while maintaining the spirit of a traditional tango night. We alternate tandas of traditional tangos, milongas and waltzes from the modern era – the 1950s until today – with a wide selection of "nuevo" and "alternative" tandas. Drop-in class (inter-advanced) before the evening.
8-9 pm: Drop-in class
9 pm-1 am: Milonga
