A "milonga" is a social event/location for tango dancing. Confusingly, "Milonga" is also a distinct style of tango - a faster, often more jovial dance than pure tango. We teach milonga (style) as well as tango in classes and workshops. We organise and run milongas (events) monthly.

At a milonga we tend to dress up a bit more than in class - but there's no strict dress code. It is customary for a man to ask a woman to dance - but it's also fine for the woman to do the asking. If you are wary about asking someone (whether you are a man or woman) making eye contact with a nod to the dance floor can be a risk free option. And if your prospective dance partner looks away... well maybe they just didn't see you. The polite tanguero keeps an eye out for the tanguera who hasn't had a dance for a while and will ask her.

The next milonga will be held on Saturday 21st August in Belfast Rowing Club from 9 pm. (map)
