Differences between Tango shows and Milongas
The Tango Shows take place in high-end theatres
or Salons where the best professional dancers display
the best tango in the city. These are shows where
locals as well as tourists go. There are two tipes
of Tango shows, the big ones and those that have
an intimate atmosphere. I recommend the small ones
which have twenty tables and the show is very modern
and has a great band too.
Don`t miss a night at a Tanguería. It is a memorable
experience where you can watch the best tango dancers
at a Tango show.
The Milongas are dance clubs, where locals go to
dance tango. Most milongas are held on a regular
basis (usually weekly), and they often begin with
dancing classes and sometimes demonstration dances.
Usually, three to five songs of a kind are played
in a row followed by a short musical break (called
cortina) to clear the dance floor and facilitate
partner changes. There are a number of informal rules
that dictate how dancers should choose their dancing
partners.
Inspired to hit the dance floor? We can arrange
that too.
Our recommendation:
If you want to experience the real Tango it is necessary
to visit both places since they are completely different
and they represent the essence of Buenos
Aires.
