My one and only experience with Milonga Sin Nombre was at Pattie Wells' Dancetime Center. I was in town for a few days and was looking for some good social dancing. Pattie Wells' studio got great reviews so I figured I would give it a try.Milonga Sin Nombre however isn't run by Pattie. It represents most of what's wrong in the world of dance. It's social if you are a regular and part of the group. If you're not, you are merely a donation to their cause. One of the least friendly and welcoming groups I've encountered. The music was OK, nothing great, but enjoyable. The floor is in good shape. So the studio seems to be worth a visit. If you are going for Milonga, don't go expecting a welcoming "social" dance party. - Mike K
