Welcome to the world of tango
First some terminology
Practica: An informal practice session where dancers can take their first steps, give and receive instruction, try out new things, or discover what it is all about.
Milonga: A formal social tango dance. Dancers follow an established etiquette, and do not give or receive instruction on the dance floor.
Milonga also has another meaning. It is the name of a specific type of tango dance music. This can sometimes be a bit confusing for beginners, but not you, now that you know.
Do I require a partner?
No, but if you have one that’s ok too! Although tango is a partner dance, during milongas we typically change partners after each tanda (set of 3 songs) so you can come alone, as a couple, or with friends.
Where do I start?
One of the best ways to begin is to attend a practica where you can meet some of our community, hear the music, and try it for yourself. Sometimes we run beginners classes, and that info will be in the sidebar of this page, or at the bottom on mobile devices.
Another great idea is to join our facebook group, where you will find further information and can interact with the tango community.
We would love to meet you!
