How it works
Every listing says where it came from.
Tango schedules change constantly, and most of them live in one organiser's social post. This site does not try to hide that. It shows you the source, the day it was last checked, and who has looked at it — so you can judge a listing instead of trusting it.
The four words on a listing
Each event carries one badge. It describes how the information was checked, not how good the milonga is.
- Source confirmed
- Somebody read the organiser's own page or post and entered what it said, with a link to it and the date they read it. This is what most listings are.
- Admin verified
- An administrator confirmed the details against the source and recorded the check. Every approved correction produces one of these.
- Unverified
- The event is listed, but nobody has confirmed it against a source yet. Treat it as a lead, not a plan.
- Outdated
- The listing was checked too long ago to be relied on. It replaces the badge above, because a stale Admin verified listing should read as stale first.
When a listing goes "Outdated"
Freshness is counted from the day the source was last checked, and the window depends on how often that kind of event moves:
- Milonga and practica — 7 days. Weekly events change venue, time and host often, and a week-old check is no longer an answer.
- Festival — 14 days. Festival programmes are published further ahead and change less often.
Once that window passes, the listing shows Outdated and asks you to check the source before you go. Nothing is deleted — an outdated listing is still the best pointer to the original page.
Cancelled and postponed
When an organiser cancels or moves an event and we can see it in a source, the listing keeps a banner at the top: This event has been cancelled. or This event has been postponed. A postponed event stays on its old date until a new one is confirmed in a source, because inventing a date would be worse than saying we do not know it yet.
If something is wrong, you can fix it
Anyone can report a change. To keep the reports readable by a person, we confirm one thing first: an email address that works. There is no password and no account to remember — you get a one-time link, and opening it is the whole sign-in.
- Received. We have your report and the link you sent with it.
- Being checked. An administrator compares what you sent against the source.
- Applied — or answered, if it could not be confirmed from the link. Either way you can see the outcome with the reference code you get when you send it.
Nothing changes publicly until an administrator approves it. A report on its own never edits a listing, and every approval and refusal is recorded with what changed.
What the assistant does
To save a reviewer time, an automated assistant reads the page a report points at and writes a short comparison: what the page appears to support, what it contradicts, and what it does not mention. It is shown to the reviewer under a label that says not a decision.
- It cannot change a listing, approve a report, or decline one.
- It is never sent your email address, your nickname, or the note you wrote — only the values being compared and the text of the page you linked.
- When the page cannot be read, or when it contains text written at the review system rather than about the event, the reviewer is told to read the page themselves instead.
What this site is not
- It is not the organiser. We do not take bookings, sell tickets, or speak for any milonga.
- It is not complete. Five cities to begin with — Seoul, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, New York and Paris — and only events we can point to a source for.
- It is not a substitute for the source. Check the original before you travel.
