I managed to go to these venues:
Wed 6/2 Caffe' Caribe, Very nice venue lounge style, but large floor with bar. Traditional tango. Good level.
Fri 6/4 Comuna Baires. "performance in the round" place for theater events; separate eating area with large tables. Projection screen. Cool place, but crowded and "messy floorcraft".
Sat 6/5 Modena: Circolo Gardel (via Ungheria 2). Nice industrial place. Dinner included outside the place after class. Made good people connections. Great place.
Sun 6/7 Sentimento Gaucho (back in Milan) - Gorgeous large classical hall. Lots of room to dance and made good connections. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures while people were dancing.
Mon 6/8 Comuna Baires: this time "tango nuevo" ... (see pics above). Unfortunately the music was very mixed and disorganized. I don't have problems dancing to non-traditional music, but in this case
it really came out "at random" fast, slow, completely different moods, no tandas of any kind. I found it hard to focus and dance at my best.
Thu 6/10 La Casa del Tango, also in the nice "Navigli" area. This was a restaurant with a nice dance and bar area upstairs. Somehow the dancing level seemed lower than in the other venues, or I was simply very unlucky. My first three partners told me they were "beginners" ... and they were. Finally I recognized a lady from "Sentimento Gaucho" and had a good dance. I am sure I could have had a good time with more time to know the dancers, but unfortunately I had to leave early.
Overall dancing in Milan (amd Modena) was just great. I can't wait for my next visit.
