Do people wear masks or require vaccination at the milongas?
Most people are not wearing masks and milonga organizers aren't asking for vaccination. However, there are still some people who choose to wear a mask even though it is not required, so you will not be alone if you choose to do so. This can change, of course, by the time of the holiday.
Am I too young/old to join?

There are milongas that are friendly to all ages and others that tend to veer in one direction or the other.

Will I get asked to dance at the milongas in Buenos Aires?
There are a lot of factors that determine this such as how well you cabaceo, the type of milonga you go to, how friendly you appear, whom you are looking at, etc. We will give you a detailed insight into how to ensure that you're not sitting out during your time on this trip. Our assistant dancers can also be hired for additional price to dance at milongas or private practice sessions!
Can I arrive before or leave some days after the holiday dates?
Yes. The hotel has availability from the 7th Dec until the 24th Dec.
So if you wish to come earlier or stay later that's entirely up to you. We will calculate the extra charges this would incur.

Do I have to know how to speak Spanish?
No. While it's certainly helpful to have a bit of language proficiency when you are travelling to a Spanish speaking country, it's not necessary. The classes on the retreat will be taught in English and your Discover Tango hosts are fluent in Spanish and can help with any language needs throughout the trip.
