Floor Codigos in 60 seconds (floor etiquette)

Mirada & cabeceo

Invite and accept with eye contact — elegant, clear, and less awkward. Avoid stopping people at their table.

Entering the ronda

Ask permission with your eyes to the approaching couple. When they give you space, merge smoothly into the outer lane.

Lead & listening

Lead clearly, never roughly; listen attentively. Keep safe distance and respect the ronda direction — no “sporty” overtakes.

Tanda & cortina

You dance a tanda with the same partner. At the cortina, escort them back to their seat with a smile.

What to wear (she/he/they)

Tango shoes with suitable soles; comfortable clothes that respect the embrace and your movement.
If in doubt, read our guide “Shoes & outfit for the milonga” /en/tango-shoes and ask the maestros in the room.

Quick tips to enjoy your night

• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in.
• Watch the floor and pick the right moment to enter.
• If you’re a beginner, start in the less crowded areas of the ronda.
• Hydration & breaks: listen to your body — not every tanda is “mandatory”.
• Listen to the music: recognizing rhythm and phrasing helps you dance better.
