What is a milonga?

A milonga is much more than a place to dance tango. It is the heart of tango culture, where aficionados and experts meet to share their passion for this dance. These gatherings can take place in private salons, cafés, theatres or dance schools, but they all have one thing in common: the tango as the protagonist.

Tango is a social dance and, as such, it has certain 'codes' that allow everyone to enjoy the dance floor in a comfortable and fluid way. If you want to know more about these rules of coexistence, we invite you to visit our link to the 'dance codes'. Depending on the milonga or practice you attend, these codes can be more or less flexible. Exploring different milongas is the key to discovering which one resonates with you and where you feel most comfortable.

In the milongas of Buenos Aires, it is common to enjoy live shows with local dancers and musicians, making every night a celebration of art and a way to support the city's artists. This is where tango really lives, in its most authentic form.
