After almost 2 months of traveling far from the Milongas, I decided to start again tango. In this article, I present the classes and the Milongas where I have been in Mendoza.
Learning in good classes
Ana & Luis
The classes from Ana & Luis are on Monday and Thursday from 9pm to 11pm. When I left Mendoza, they changed the place for the class. Thus, it is better to go on the website for checking.
I loved this class as Ana & Luis are really careful about giving you great advice. They corrected me very well after my 2 months break.
Charli & Flor
Charli & Flor also do two classes per week in ZonaTango in Peru 1779. One on Wednesday and the other one on Friday. The classes are divided into two levels: beginner at 8pm and more advanced at 9:30pm. After the classes, the Milonga starts at 11pm.
The beginner class teaches the basic of the walking in Tango and small steps. Whereas the other class focuses on sequences with advanced steps.
Andrea Laucieri y Lucas Galera are another couple that provide classes in Mendoza. However, there were in vacation until March.
Dancing in Milongas
My discoveries
Pipistrela
The Milonga Pipistrela is every Thursday at San Juan 165. At 9:30pm for the class and 11pm for the Milonga. Not only the dance-floor was good, but there was a nice dance performance as well (See the cover picture).
Charli & Flor Milonga
The Milonga starts after the classes I presented before. It is often less crowded than other Milonga. However, the atmosphere is nice and familiar. The reason it that more or less every body know each other. On top of that, they are very friendly with new people.
Balcón de Tango
The first Milonga I saw when I reached Mendoza. I was looking for having dinner but I got both the tango and the dinner. The Milonga is from 9pm to 11pm every Sunday close to San Martin 2072. Although the ground is a bit tough for sliding, it was a great pleasure to dance there!
Plazoleta Vergar – Viernes de Tango
The second open air Milonga I did in Mendoza. As the Milonga is on Friday, you can dance until 1pm or 2pm. Until the end, the place was filled with people dancing. My personal experience told me that after an hot summer afternoon, dancing outside is wonderful.
