A unique national tango scene event is held here in NW Ohio by the Toledo Tango Club... the annual Hangar Milonga. A milonga is a musical genre, an Argentine ballroom dance similar to the tango, and a popular event where people dance tangos. In addition to dancing the night away under the stars at the EAA hangar at Toledo Executive Airport, this dance party featured a live tango band. As a result, tango dancers throughout the region were present, and even an international couple who was traveling through the area stopped by.
