Alfonsina Macchi & Michael Bijnens @ La Milonguita

Welcome to La Milonguita! Step into a traditional milonga where everything is designed to make you feel right at home. Begin the evening with a tango class, then dance the night away on our cozy wooden floor to carefully curated tandas—only the crème de la crème. Our lively cortinas, warm atmosphere, and friendly crowd make every night special. Enjoy a drink from our affordable bar, take part in exciting prize draws for a chance to win free workshops vouchers, and soak up the inclusive, welcoming vibe. The theme of the workshop will be “Cargas” (Weight, Presence and Pauses) We are going to investigate how to consciously “fill” the silences of the body through presence, attention, and the use of weight. The concept of carga (load, weight transfer) becomes a key tool to understand how energy is organized and suspended in dance. We will work with the idea of the montada and weight shifts as places of inhabited pause: moments where stillness is not absence of movement, but a dense, active state where listening, grounding, and intention meet. Through guided exercises and partner work, we will develop a deeper awareness of how to suspend time, amplify presence, and transform stillness into expressive material—allowing pauses to become charged, meaningful, and alive within the dance. Saturday 9th of May 19:00 - Workshop with Alfonsina & Michael 20:00 - 23:00 - Salon La Milonguita with DJ Alfonsina!
