Etiquette of The Week
BETWEEN TANDAS When dancing at a milonga, you are expected to leave the dance floor in between tandas (a tanda is a group of 3 or 4 songs) when the cortina is playing (a cortina is a short piece of non-tango music played between tandas). Generally, you will dance one tanda at a time with any given partner. However, if you would like to dance with the same person again, return to your seats and when the new tanda begins, you may resume your dance partnership.
