Want to be able to dance confidently and feel comfortable in traditional milongas of Buenos Aires? Our teaching develops your musicality, connection, technique & improvisation with social tango, as well as insights into tango culture and critical skills to build your confidence with milonga etiquette.
Great music, a good standard of social dancing, respectful & harmonious dance-floors and friendly organisers. That's what we look for when attending milongas in Buenos Aires.
Thanks to Carlos Neuman of Milongas Buenos Aires, you can get a taster of what to expect. It will help you decide where you would feel comfortable. He has thoughtfully put together videos of many of the popular milongas for the entire week!
They're all delightfully different in character. Venues vary. Some cater more to solo dancers (cabeceo skills required), whereas others, especially the outer-suburban milongas, are more group-oriented. DJs play a big role in attracting regular dancers. You may see the same faces in more than one of them.
Here are a few of our haunts:
El Beso (Thursday) - watch out for the cabeceo at the start of the video
On Friday night, at La Milonga de Buenos Aires, two excellent DJs share the gig. Usually, Dany Borelli does the first shift, then Vivi La Falce (daughter of Juan Carlos, organiser of El Arranque) takes over for the late shift. PP
Improve your social dance skills and confidence; refine technique; develop better musical responses; increase your vocabulary of figures.
We can work with one or two people.
Cost: from $35 per person

ReplyDeleteThanks. One of mine too, along with Lucia and Dany.
PS For anyone interested, here are some answers from Dany about his DJing. http://lamilongadel126.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/dany-borelli-tango-dj.html
Thanks for sharing the link. Dany Borelli has also talked about learning a great deal about the music from some of the older milongueros.
