Champaign Milongueros Group Charter

Champaign Milongueros is a group of tango students who regularly meet here to study and dance the milonguero style of tango.

Our mission is to bring together like-minded local tango dancers, promote the milonguero style of tango, and foster a culture of fraternity, solidarity, cooperation, and community within the group.

We adhere to the tango protocols observed in the milongas of Buenos Aires, including personal hygiene, dress code, separate seating, cabeceo, navigation rules, and milonga etiquette. (See Milonga Codes.)

A rotating leadership team is responsible for recruitment, training, events, and liaison.

This group is open only to committed tango enthusiasts who want tango to be an integral part of their lifestyle, not to casual dancers.

The terms for joining this group are as follows:

1. Dedication to the milonguero style of tango.

2. Commitment to regular and long-term participation.

3. In addition to attending classes and dancing at this location, members take turns to host a biweekly group event, such as a potluck, picnic, hiking trip, seminar, tea party, sports activity, or milonga, at a separate time and location of their choice. These activities aim to build friendships and encourage team collaboration.

4. Applicants for membership must complete our training to attend our milongas.
