About us & our initiative

Utrecht Café Milonga is an initiative created to offer more opportunities for (mainly, but not exclusively) young & expat people to discover tango and form a welcoming community space for those that want to step into the dance and be more active with it. Our goal is not to subvert the current Utrecht tango community, but rather to enrich it with a more diverse background of dancers and by adding a more modern style of tango to the current style(s) taught. Ultimately, our vision is a more vibrant and active tango community where fun, exploration, and expression are there as main values

Our current efforts are aimed to get in touch and create connections with several platforms where there would be our potentially interested future members, build a chain of social & practice events, and create a set of standard courses and workshops with which new members can go through to get introduced to tango and our community.

Our community is and will always hold inclusivity, openness, exploration, curiosity, fun, and expression as our core values. Lastly, we of course respect the Argentinian cultural roots of tango while we also explore the modern, local, or European influences on tango for better understanding.
