Best of the Best L.A. Milongas Results
The results are now available from our poll asking tangeuros and tangueras to cast their votes on what they like best out of local SoCal milongas.
We all have our favorites, and this poll by no means proves that one milonga is better than another.
Some have aspects that individuals like more, but all milongas are wonderful due to the fact that they exist and provide a space for us to enjoy this captivating dance and its music!
The poll is now an ongoing venture. Vote here:Los Angeles Milongas: Best of the Best
