What is a Milonga? The word Milonga can refer in Spanish to two different things: one is the party where you go to dance tango (like our Milonga Sentimental) and the other is the name of one of the three rhythms of the tango family (Tango, Vals and Milonga). Someone that frequents the Milonga party is called a “milonguero or milonguera”.
At a milonga dance party, the DJ will play “tandas” which are sets of 3 or 4 songs of the same rhythm (Tango, Vals or Milonga). After each set, the DJ will play a ‘cortina” (in Spanish means curtain) which is non tango-music of 30-45 seconds long to clear the dance floor.
Who can attend? Dancers of all levels can attend the milonga. Milongas are the best places to watch people dancing tango. It is the place to see tango in its own environment and a great opportunity for you, specially during your first visits to the milongas, to learn a lot just from watching other dancers!
Also, you don’t need to know how to dance in order to attend this event, in fact you can invite your friends and family and enjoy a great time just listening to the music!
