Boomer Retirement Abroad - The 'New" Tango?

Even if I'm not thinking of relocating to Buenos Aires, I still love the Tango!

Milonga is a term for a place or an event where tango is danced. People who frequently go to milongas are sometimes calledmilongueros. The term "milonga" can also refer to a musical genre.
The music played is mainly tangovals and milonga (as the musical genre). 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 (this is called tanda) followed by a short musical break (called cortina) to clear the dancefloor and facilitate partner changes. There are a number of informal rules that dictate how dancers should choose their dancing partners.
