This page lists upcoming Argentine Tango milongas and practicas in Auckland. Prior to events being accepted for publication, there is no vetting at all by the administrators and editors of this website of the details of the event.
Further information can be obtained by making direct contact with the event organisers, and also by attending tango practicas to seek insights from other dancers.
The Vodka Room in Ponsonby provides us with their beautiful function room upstairs for Tango.
For 2020 the Vodka Room owners and management have kindly agreed that there can be a Milonga every Wednesday except when the room is hired.
Each Wednesday there will be a milonga from 7.30pm till 10.30pm. There will no longer be a beginners class before the milonga.
For questions please contact Carl Robson on 021-2804464 or email Carl on carl@eltango.co.nz
The entry fee of $10 is to contribute to the cost of having access to the venue but please also take advantage of the restaurant or bar to purchase the excellent food or drinks. We want the weekly milonga to be an ongoing win-win for the Vodka Room as well as for the tango community.
Cheers Carl

*****************************************************************************************************************
Come and join us at ¡Milonga Otra Vez!
The once a month Milonga that will be filled with fun and energy
to help you forget the stress of the working week!!
Snacks and non alcoholic drinks will be served.
BYO.
♠ Featuring great music from our DJ Sheldon ♠
¿Who are the hosts?
We are just the laid-back Trio (Alex, Sheldon & Kelly) who love to dance and do silly things!
We are so laid-back that we might even let you do the washing up and packing down at the end of the Milonga while we are supervising YOU with a barrel of Malbec in our hands!
A friendly milonga worth the pleasant 2.5hr drive south to Tauranga.
The venue is easily accessed directly off the expressway, close to Bus Services, free parking and also offers free shower facilities to freshen up.
Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages provided, BYOB.
As in many traditional Buenos Aires milongas, the brief interlude offers an opportunity to dance ‘the Chacarera’.
Hoping to see you soon at www.facebook.com/TangoinTauranga/
AHOY! All Auckland Tangueros,
As the summer season is fast approaching! we are changing the time to start a bit earlier.
Enjoy the magnificent Village of Devonport right on the wharf. It’s an area the Auckland Council have kindly set aside right inside the wharf with the good floor for dancing and a roof for all seasons.
A place where all the admiring passengers going to & from CBD can take tango inspiration. It’s a great venue with so much to offer. Including the best fish & chips, cafes, & old-world charm. Watch the marine world unfold right before your eyes.
Come and join us Once a Month – every first Sunday of the month from 3.30 pm – 6.00 pm.
Just bring your shoes and a portable chair or cushion (in case you may want to sit out the odd tanda), thermos for drinks and warm jackets/ jersey – still a bit chilly sometimes.
Parking available out side the building and plenty of off-street parking around the area.
If coming from CBD via the Ferry, it’s only 12 minutes ride and boom! You’re there and ready to dance!
See you there
Cecile Bale

“Harmony between the hug and “the walk”. How to find the feeling of “earth” and relaxation in the dance.
Class content is suitable for all levels of tango dancer.
This Practica aims to provide a friendly, welcoming space to practice dancing tango.
There are no teachers as such – but help and feedback from other dancers is welcomed. We play music in Tandas but there isn’t a set format for how you make the most of your afternoon. You can work on your own individual tango skills at your pace (with a partner) and can talk with friends and other dancers there, to get some informal help or advice on anything that is not working out. Mistakes are allowed!
The hall is air conditioned in Summer, warm in Winter … and we can open the doors along one side to the deck during the seasons in between.
We always enjoy a home-baked afternoon tea as a feature of this Practica … it’s included in the $10 entry fee 🙂
The Taitamariki Guide Hall in Takapuna just five minutes drive over the Harbour Bridge; or 10-15 minutes walk from the Akoranga Station on the Northern Express Busway from Britomart 🙂 There’s plenty of parking near the hall – You can use the parking spaces marked “Permit Holders Only”; or park around the back of the hall. To find us, take the entrance to the Reserve off Auburn Street (directly opposite Como Street). The hall is right at the end of the cul-de-sac.
