The milonga shuffle once again in Buenos Aires

Oh, and I am convinced that anyone who wants to continue teaching is required to teach what the students want to learn, regardless of country of origin.

Yes, especially if the teaching is for commercial reasons.
That's equally true in Buenos Aires as it is Worldwide.

That's why tango as a social dance isn't taught much.

What the dance needs (as opposed to what teacher needs)
are people who teach social dance for the pleasure of the dance,
not for the satisfaction of teaching nor the imperative of earning a living.

we are blessed with a couple who teaches tango for this reason alone.. they are universally loved in our community

A lot has been written about the closing of Nino Bien after 15 years in Centro Region Leonesa, but what hasn't been announced is Nino Bien moving to Obelisco Tango.

The most reliable source for milongas (and even practicas) in Buenos Aires is www.hoy-milonga.com which gives a day by day listing for one week only -- things change quickly. Hector, who created the site, does his best to keep up with all the changes and openings. Click the milonga name for address, map, phone numbers, organizers, etc.

It was rumored that Luis Calvo would reopen his Nino Bien milonga, first in Obelisco Tango, and then in Salon Leonesa. That's what we heard through the tango grapevine. That will never happen.

On August 1, Roberto Zuccarino opened Milonga de los Zucca in Centro Region Leonesa. I discovered this video today and that he is the organizer.


Zuccarino is the producer of Tango y nada mas, the show that claims to bring "tango from the dance halls of Buenos Aires to the stage for the first time."
