The popular Tango dance party nights ("Milongas") are held on the first Saturday of every month in Eton, near Windsor. The evenings are suitable for dancers of all levels; beginners or more experienced.
Our next Milonga is Saturday 6th September. Dancing from 7.30pm to 11:00pm. £8.00
The venue is a delightful period hall, with a very large dance floor and wonderful atmosphere. There is free parking close by (arrive early, as it can get busy!).
Refreshments are provided, but feel free to bring your own drinks.

Music selection
We believe that the choice of music and the quality of the sound system makes all the difference to a Milonga event, so we pay particular attention to this aspect of your enjoyment at the Eton Milongas.
Even the most popular of Tangos from the Golden Age can start to sound monotonous to modern ears if played non-stop all evening. So at our milongas you can expect a rich variety of the very best classic Tango, Milonga and Vals, interspersed from time to time with tried and tested modern Tango tracks. We add the occasional Jive or Salsa to complete the mix.
We use Tandas and Cortinas to change the mood – but not slavishly every 3 or 4 numbers – constantly adjusting the selection to what’s happening on the dance floor. All of this is managed by a committed DJ using state of the art equipment.
In this way we hope that whether you’re a die-hard Tanguero or a relative newcomer, from our own community or a visitor from further afield, you will be enchanted by the music in an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.
