If you are an avid fan of Argentine tango, you will understand the urge to try and find a milonga to go to in every city you visit. I have thought many times that tango would be one of the two things I will miss if I moved back to India (The other would be good wine).
It seems India is waking up to this wonderful dance form and Tim Collins and Malou Meyenhofer are quick to recognize and fill this gap in supply and demand. As we speak, they are already running classes of argentine tango in Zenzi Bar, Bandra, Mumbai and a milonga every Monday night. And this is not some wishy-washy cheeseball tango that's prevalent in Hollywood (and apparently Bollywood too, if you stretch your imagination). This the authentic Porteño tango, as it is danced in the streets of Buenos Aires (or "De la boca" as they would say it in Spanish), although Tim is from Seattle and Malou is Swiss.
The exact location of this milonga is:
Zenzi Bar, Bandra
183, waterfield road (a.k.a. RK Patkar Marg),
Bandra (west),
mumbai 400 050.
+22-56 430 670.
And it runs every Monday from 10 PM to 1 AM although it's always a good idea to call before going.
The easiest way to get there is to take any train on Western line to Bandra station and then walk or take an auto rikshaw (it's just 1 km/0.6 miles from the bandra local train station). For more information, go here.
Desfrutate y baila mucho!
