Just a few pointers for getting started

  • A Tango dance is also called a Milonga. The term Milonga is also used to describe a style of music

  • There are three music styles of music played at a Milonga: Tango, Vals, and Milonga. Vals is like viennes Waltz and Milonga has an habenera rythm

  • A couple dances a set of three or four songs called a Tanda. The Tandas are seperated by a non Tango song called a Cortina which signals for the couple to find a new partner.
