What you’ll learn:
Level 1:
👉 You’ll be able to comfortably dance a milonga at a social
Level 2:
👉 You’ll start playing with rhythm and actually enjoy dancing milonga
What if you could dance milonga confidently with anyone on any dance floor anytime a milonga song came on?
Without:
Feeling hopelessly lost from the rhythm…
Feeling like you’re rushing just to ‘keep up’...
Muscling and forcing your way through…
I get it…
You’ve tried milonga before and it felt hard…
You felt overwhelmed trying to keep up with the rhythm and the moves…
You’ve tried just dancing “fast tango” and it doesn’t seem to work…
And yet you wonder why everyone else is having so much fun and it looks so effortless, like they were born dancing milonga?
You say you just sit out the milonga tandas because X, Y, Z, but…
Secretly you want that ease and fun feeling, too!
And you can have it, too!
Join our ONE TIME ONLY double Milonga Series beginning April 30th!

The Milonga 2 class will build on what is taught in the Milonga 1 class that same day, so regardless of how much experience you have, it’s a great opportunity to take both classes – and that way, we’ll all progress faster!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT GABRIELA's TEACHING...
"The easiest, and yet most compelling dance class I've ever been to in my life." — Nancy, 2017
"It's out of the head, and into more of a movement or a flow." — Nathan, 2015
“I appreciate your ability to connect dancers both on and off the dance floor. You create an environment that is relaxed and inviting [and] I’ve easily connected with others at your classes... Thank you for facilitating connection on all levels!” — Traci, 2013
FAQs
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing or dress it up. The important thing is shoes: wear shoes that allow you to pivot/spin (i.e., do not grip the floor), that are secure on your feet (i.e., no flip-flops), and that you can walk comfortably in. If in doubt, feel free to bring an extra pair with you. You can also turn almost any comfortable shoe into a dance shoe by placing an old sock over the front half of the shoe. This should allow you to pivot easily.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No need to print your ticket; once you register you'll be on the list!
What's the refund policy?
No refunds. However, the class slot is transferrable to someone who will dance the same role (follow or lead) as the original registration. Contact [email protected] with details no later than April 27, 2026.
How can I contact the organizer with questions?
Contact 206-778-3239 or [email protected] with any questions.
