Information as of early February 2012

Many people and groups organize Argentine tango activities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  This list of milongas in Dallas and Fort Worth is compiled by Stephen and Susan Brown based on information provided by the organizers of the individual activities.  We update the information several times during the month, but this listing should only be used as a guide.  It is advisable to contact the individual organizers for the most complete and accurate information about any specific event.  Creative Tango's North Texas Tango Calendar may have more current information about milongas in the Dallas/Fort Worth area than we have listed here.
