There words are actually very valid and would make sense to a tango dancer. Why?
Because the word milonga has 2 meanings depending on the context.
So what does “milonga means”
Milonga as a Music / dance Style
Milonga is a type of music closely related to tango but faster and more rhythmic. It has a steady, driving beat and often feels more playful or upbeat than tango. It evolved from Afro-Argentine and folk traditions and is danced with quicker, more compact steps to match the tempo.
Milonga as a social tango party /event
A milonga is also the name for a social event where people gather to dance tango. These events are typically held in halls or studios, and dancers come dressed for a night of tango, cortinas (short musical breaks), and tandas (sets of songs).
People dance tango socially, often with partners they meet there. Music is played in sets (called tandas), separated by short non-tango songs (cortinas) to signal a break or change of partners. There are traditions around how to invite someone to dance (e.g., cabeceo, a nod of the head)
