Hernan and Anita are friendly, and funny, they are true students of human movement and tango technique, and they passionately impart their knowledge, and their skill onto each of students, no one is left without an advice and personal attention at every group lesson. Tango is an amazing dance, and a beautiful journey that is enjoyable from the first day. Hernan and Anita are always there to guide you, to make a confident, caring, musical and inventive dance partner. That Hernan and Anita teach tango here is truly a gift the Boston area community. After several years studying with them I feel like they are family.

It is a warm laid back event that welcomes dancers of every level. with cozy tables, friends chatting to each other, great floor, subdued lighting and inspiring guest DJs. Hernan and Anita take care to dance with many, many guests, and not just their students.T ango regulars know that this is rarity a at any studio.
In only a couple of months this milonga has attracted a number of wonderful and generous dancers, both followers and leaders. For me its home base, a party to which I come to dance, and to be with "my people".
A very nice dancer, with whom I frequently share a dance at many milongas posted a sharply negative review. I was there that evening, and I think what happened was an frustrating unfortunate exception, born of several regrettable coincidences. There is never an obligation to dance with anyone, but she is right - I understand that one comes to a place with many unfamiliar faces, hospitality from the "regulars" is called for. Several dancers at the milonga, including myself usually make it a point to dance with the new faces, but I have lapsed that night - perhaps because this dancer was sitting a bit separately from the other dancers, or perhaps the sangria was a bit strong. I hope that she gives Milonga Ideal another chance.
