La Milonguita
Tango Activities List is compiled by
Polo Talnir. A paper edition is distributed occasionally at various Northern
California Tango parties and classes.
La
Milonguita
Tango Activities List can be reached online at the
Ballroom Dance
Supply Web page. A different Tango activities list is mailed by
the Bay Area Argentine Tango Association to its members. The BAATA version
can be found online at the BAATA
Website. FMI about the BAATA call 877-574-7236.
Listings and small ads about Tango activities anywhere in the Bay Area
are listed free of charge as a service to the Tango community. Feel free
(and make sure) to make additional copies for wide distribution. Should
you quote from this list, please mention: "La Milonguita
Tango Activities List of Northern California". Please send me your updates by email:

Disclaimers: while I make an effort to be accurate and current, typos do occur and changes are more frequent than my updates. Call the event leader for current admission fees, programs
and schedules. The information herein has been collected from personal
communication, flyers and ads. However, an explicit request is required to
ensure that an event is listed. Additions, deletions and corrections are
always welcome. I make no attempt to distinguish qualitatively between
a "practice" vs. a "milonga". When dancing time is 2.5 hours or longer,
or by request of the event organizer, the event
is listed under "Tango Parties". Overlapping events are listed in the order
of their first appearance in the Bay Area scene and in La
Milonguita Tango Activities List.
The sign "$" preceding the information identifies an event offering a $1
discount for BAATA members. A "P" indicates a class followed by a practice
of at least one hour, and a "C" indicates a class before a milonga
For entries not containing an address, you can
locate alphabetically the address
