It is so much fun, and can be easier than tango so is great for beginners. Once you learn milonga, the connection, posture, walk and embrace transfer easily to tango. Don't overlook milonga! Own it!  And tell your friends who are interested in tnaog that this is the best time to start. Tango Boutique! Clothes, shoes and accessories for the dancer.  Clothes that fit, stay on, have color, flow beautifully, with real style.  And great prices! Shoes from $40 to $150, including some great values in preowned.  All clothes under $100. Come and shop during parties and get an unbiased opinion from seasoned tango dancers. :) Buenos Aires! Time to plan for 2018 if you want to go on my tour! The 2018 trip will be in November to December. Pick the dates that work for you and let me know so I can arrange housing.
