Tango Outdoors
in New York City


Milongas | Dance Studios | Lessons | Tango Resources

During the summer, New York City hosts three weekly outdoor Milongas and a five-day long summer tango festival. Dancing the Argentine Tango under the stars in some of the most beautiful settings in New York City is an amazing and beautiful experience.

Although all these events happen outdoors, all events happen rain or shine because they are all covered in case of rain. In fact, Tango Porteno has not cancelled a milonga on account of weather in five years.
