The Milonga Las Estrellas is the state of Arizona's longest running Milonga (since 1997). Formerly called "Kyote Milonga", it has been renamed since its new home is now the Stars Ballroom.
This beautiful studio boasts of a spacious, gorgeous floating maple wood floor and a vaulted ceiling painted with a " trompe l'oeil" depicting a starry night sky.
The music played is traditional Tango music, arranged in tandas (sets) with cortinas, the first Milonga in Arizona to engage in this practice.
The Kyote Milonga has attracted Tango dancers from all over the state as well as many out-of-towners throughout the years. It has also been visited by world renowned Tango teachers and performers.
The Milonga Las Estrellas seeks to continue this tradition!

Together with the Las Estrellas Milonga this is most attended milonga in Phoenix metro. It's weekly event is an "happening" for dancers of all levels from students (ASU is close by) to experienced tangueros(as). The rotating DJs formula is part of the success of this milonga with music for every taste and skills. The dance floor is not huge but it contributes to recreate part of the BA atmosphere with couples dancing close to each other like in every BA argentine milonga.

The seats are more than needed to make everybody comfortable when not dancing.

Food is good and prices are modest. There is no charge to get in but ... don't forget to patronize the event to keep it running.
