Esquina Porteña originally began in 2016 as a práctica. Passionate about promoting authentic Salon Tango and its music, we evolved and branched out into holding milongas as well as lessons and workshops in which we have hosted visiting maestros and renowned teachers such as Andres (Tanguito) Cejas, El Pibe Sarandi, Raquel Greenberg, Guisy Santoro and Diego Javier Ledesma, Benjamin Galian, Emilia Andrada, and Nicolas Ignacio Gody. For now though, our plan is to host a monthly milonga every 4th Saturday of the month. We continue to run on a non profit making basis and reinvest any surplus funds into the running of the milonga.

​

At our milongas we aim to create the warm and friendly atmosphere of a traditional Buenos Aires neighbourhood milonga and to select the best traditional tango music, mainly from the Golden Age, organised in tandas with cortinas (TTVTTM). Typically we have a tanda display.

​

We're keen to promote a safe and respectful environment in which to dance and therefore uphold observance of the etiquette of the ronda and encourage observance of traditional códigos (in particular the mirada/cabaceo)
