What is Contact Milonguero?

Unlike Argentine tango, Contact Milonguero tango is neither visual aesthetic entertainment, touristic “cultural” experience, nor political, therapeutic or liberating practice. Instead, it is auditory and kinaesthetic aesthetic experience, ie., it’s enjoyment of tango music in its best form and of movement with a partner to this music. The consequence of this alternative perspective is that instead of workshop moves, mirrors, cameras, tango shoes/dresses/pants, trips to Buenos Aires, or gender/race studies indoctrination courses, you would do much better to invest your time and money in getting a collection of high quality transfers of Golden Era tango music, an audiophile grade DAC (digital-to-analogue converter), good quality player/amp/speakers, acoustic treatment for your listening or dancing room, and a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement course. I explain all of these concepts in detail in the articles and videos on this website.

The standard group dancing lesson has no purpose other than the lesson itself. It certainly is not intended to teach you how to dance. If it does have a further goal it is to make you better at taking more such lessons until you get bored and move on to something else. Because if people actually learned how to dance they would want to dance, and that is not available.
