But remember tango is a late night sport. If you want to take a quick trip into this world and visit a milonga in Buenos Aires, I have some suggestions for you. And if we have traveled all the way to Buenos Aires we are in the middle of a beautiful love affair with Tango.

The people that go to milongas, we are not professional dancers, we have “real jobs” and we love tango.
There are the old milongueros who were probably one of the above in their youth, but now they come to the milongas, not because they want to dance, but because it is what they have always done.įinally there are people like me: milongueros. There are the tango “sharks” that prey on tourists in the milongas. There are maestros that travel and teach around the world, there are tangureros that perform on stage and for your tourist pleasure in La Boca and San Telmo, there are the organizers that provide spaces for dancing, there are DJ’s that keep the dance floor moving, there are live orchestras and tango singers. Everyone has a role to play and there are definite hierarchies in place. But not everyone in the milonga is the same. On any night in Buenos Aires you can find a milonga filled with people sitting around the dance floor, drinking their wine or champagne and watching, and being watched. I want to talk about the milonga – the event and who’s in it. But I digress, and that is a topic for another conversation. So in essence you could go to a milonga and dance milonga to a milonga. The word milonga also is a type of tango music and a style of dance that is performed to that music. The simple description is an organized event where people can dance tango. However, I am not just talking about the dance, I am talking about culture of tango – the rules, the codes, the politics, the drama. The dance seems very basic at its essence, but in reality it is one of those frustrating skills were you realize that the more you know, the more you need to know. And it’s way more complicated than it looks on stage. But Buenos Aires IS tango… there is so much more.
The dancers in La Boca, the tango shows hawked by tour guides and hotel concierges. Most tourists visiting the city only ever have access to smallest section, the part the city creates for them.
