Some people may consider making an event invitational to be elitist or even snobbish. But think about it. When you have a party, you usually have a guest list. The people in your guest list are those who are compatible with your vision for that gathering. By the same token, we invite people who view tango and tango events the way we do for this particular event. Anyone who shares our vision listed in our mission statement is welcome to apply. However, if we don't know you and someone in our guest list has not recommended you, we would need to make sure that you are well versed in the milonguero style culture and tradition. We hope you understand and appreciate our efforts as they have one and only one objective: to improve everyone's experience and enjoyment at the event.
