Welcome Promoting Argentine Tango,"Milonguero Style"
The magic of Tango.....
One of my earliest memories growing up in Buenos Aires as a child that stayed in my mind is running to my grandparents house on Sundays, where the whole family would gather to spend the day together.
By the afternoon as the music of Tango come through the old winco (record player), we would sit out on the patio as some of the family would start dancing Tango, I would focus on my grandparents as they move in such a way that I couldn't understand, in a perfect embrace, like hugging each other, and they used to say to me " It's only walking together to the rhythm of the music, that's what Tango is about ", and that is to me the secret of Dancing Tango (F.C)
"In the Milonguero style lives the true spirit of tango" Carlos Gavito
Introduction
The word milonguero, though it literally means someone who spends a lot of time in milongas, had come to be used to mean someone who had been a regular Tango dancer during the Golden Age. Milonguero style develop in the 1940s and '50s in Argentina's closely packed dance halls and "confiterias" The expression "Milonguero Style" was first use in the mid-1990s, although this close embrace style of dancing had existed for decades.

In Buenos
Aires if you watch ten couples dancing Tango you will see ten different
styles. While many people develop their own particular way of dancing, in
reality it comes down to a choice of two specific and very different styles;
these are often called Tango Milonguero Style and Tango Salon Style.
Each style has its own types of music, embrace and steps as well as
different techniques of dancing.
