Lately there’s been some changes to a number of regular Milongas around.
The long-running weekly Milonga ‘Negracha’ in London has been forced to leave their venue and still hasn’t found a replacement venue. Calesita closed last year, and a monthly Milonga in Guildford is now closing because the organisers are moving away. Recently another long-running milonga in the South – Menuda – closed also.
At the same time, it’s years since a successful regular milonga was started in the South East. The milonga calendar locally looks pretty much the same as it did 5 years ago.
So, what’s going on? Why aren’t there new Milongas being established and thriving? Why are the choices for dancers getting fewer?
Tango West in Bristol is still going strong. We recently celebrated our 20th year.
