Milonguero is a term for a person whose life revolves around dancing tango and the philosophy of tango. A title given by other tango dancers to a person who has mastered the tango dance and embodies the essence of tango.
'Milonguero' also infers the following concepts: 1) someone who dances tango socially in the milongas (tango dances), rather than focusing on 'show' tango; 2) someone who understands the importance of listening to the music, and who values this musicality over the desire to do fancy steps; 3) someone who dances in 'close embrace,' in which the torsos of man and woman not only touch, but serve as a primary means of communicating with each other while dancing.
