My Summer Milonga Experience in Berlin

People have once told me that the world's largest tango community outside of Buenos Aires is Berlin.  I don't know the validity of the statement but regardless, that is still quite amazing to have a large, vibrant tango community somewhere outside the place of origin!  I thought if I ever visit Germany, I would have to add Berlin as a stop to check out the city's tango scenes.  Luckily, the wait was not long and I was able to make it happen in July of this year for a four day back to back milonga trip with my friend, Beate. 

I have met Beate at DNI Studio (dancing school by Pablo Villarraza & Dana Frigoli) last year when we were both taking lessons in Buenos Aires.  We hit it right off as good friends and partnered up to experience all the ups and down of tango in Buenos Aires.  Beate had studied both yoga and tango at DNI for over a year and have just returned to her home town in North Germany earlier of this year.  Unfortunately, her town is very small with only a population of 12,000 people so tango has not yet picked up there yet.  There is no milonga available close by her at all!  (Aren't we lucky to have milonga/practica almost every day of the week in Hong Kong?)  Therefore, she had not danced tango for over three months so when I brought up the idea to travel together in Berlin, she was eager to meet up with me to check out different milongas together.

Helpful Tips on Women traveling Solo in Buenos Aires
 
Written by Becky Hsia, on 22-10-2008 14:56

img_2091.jpgMany girlfriends have asked me information about women traveling alone in BA (Buenos Aires) since I made my first solo trip as a woman last year.  Is it safe?  Where to stay?  Where to tango?  Is it difficult to find partners to dance with at the milongas?  Where to shop?  How much does the trip cost?  There are so many more questions that the list can go on and on.
