MILONGAS, WHAT TO EXPECT:

• COAT CHECK: for everyone’s comfort leave your coat and bags at the coat check upon arrival.  Aim to come to the Milongas as light of things as possible. There is no storage space and for safety, we cannot stuff corners with bags and luggage. Also, It helps you to not leave things behind.  Coat-check service based on tips, so your gratuity will be very appreciated. (Applies for Friday & Saturday only).
