Vals and Milonga course starting July 22

In every So Tango Intermediate / Advanced course we focus on a particular theme, and our July - September term's theme is Vals and Milonga.

In addition to Tango rhythm, Argentine tango dancers usually enjoy two other related dances: Vals (waltz) and Milonga.

Milonga is also the name given to clubs, gatherings and parties that are dedicated to dancing Argentine Tango. This double meaning of the word Milonga can be confusing unless one knows the context in which the word “Milonga” is used. 

Vals is danced to 3/4 time. Tango dancers dance the Vals in a smooth and flowing way. The Vals, as it is danced by tango dancers is characterized by lots of turning (giros) and an absence of pauses.
