Mirada Tango
Sign in

The app for Argentine tango dancers

Your tango,
in your pocket.

The milongas and festivals coming up, your school’s classes, where your friends are going dancing — and a chat to make plans together. Mirada is the app for Android and iPhone that speaks the language of dancers.

Coming soon toApp StoreComing soon toGoogle Play

Every chance to dance, in one place:

  • Milongas
  • Classes
  • Festival
  • Marathon
  • Encuentro

Find where to dance

Milongas, festivals, marathons and encuentros near you or in the city you’re visiting. By role, too: an event sold out for leaders may still have room for followers.

Sign up for classes

Your school’s courses, the lessons on the calendar, signing up with a single tap. And your ticket on your phone, ready at the door.

Follow your friends

Where the dancers you know are going, which nights and which festivals. To plan the trip together, or to find each other on the floor.

Chat with them

A chat to make plans: who’s driving, what time, who’s bringing spare shoes. And to find a partner for that workshop.

The app · coming soon

What it will have inside.

Not management software with an icon. The app we’re building speaks the language of dancers: orchestras and singers, roles and styles, the cities the dance floor comes from.

  • A partner for that workshop

    You search for a specific class, not a person: Saturday’s 3 pm workshop on milonga with traspié. Role, level and above all style — milonguero, salon, nuevo — because two advanced dancers from different schools dance worse together than two intermediates of the same style.

    No filters for gender, age or distance. No profiles popping up at random. Once you’ve found your partner, you both sign up with a single order.

  • The tanda, as it plays

    Orchestra, singer, year and style of the tanda now playing — and the next one, if the DJ has made the playlist public. Save a tanda and it goes into your archive with the night you danced it.

    The link to Spotify and Apple Music appears when the recording really exists there: many tandas come from remasters that streaming services don’t have, and suggesting the wrong version would be worse than suggesting none.

  • The pass, and the passport

    Your ticket in the Apple and Google wallets, updating itself if the venue or time changes. When you arrive, your phone puts it in front of you on its own: no queueing while you hunt for the confirmation email.

    And your history: nights, cities, teachers, orchestras. Including the ones you didn’t buy here — a history with gaps isn’t a history.

  • Where the floor comes from

    Seeing that the same room holds dancers from Paris, Berlin and Buenos Aires changes the night. In aggregate: city, country, how many.

    The numbers belong to everyone, a name only to those who choose to show it, and contact needs a yes from both sides.

  • The nomads’ board

    “Leaving Rome on Friday, two seats free in the car.” “I’ve rented a house near the harbour, anyone sharing a room?” Tango travels, and today it organises that in scattered group chats.

    Mirada is the board, not the middleman: it doesn’t vet drivers, isn’t responsible for accommodation, and no money passes between the parties through it.

The app comes after the ticketing: first organisers need to be able to sell, then dancers will get their place. Meanwhile, everything you buy here will be in it the day it launches.

Frequently asked questions

When can I download the app?

Soon, on the App Store and Google Play. We’re building it: once it’s in the stores, the buttons above will take you there.

Can I already sign up for an event?

Yes. If an organiser sends you the link to their event, you sign up and pay there, and your ticket arrives by email with its code.

Do I need an account?

Not to browse. You need one when you sign up, because the ticket is yours and has to follow you.

Why does my dance role matter?

Because an event sold out for leaders may still have room for followers: knowing which one you are changes the answer.

What if I can’t go after all?

The registration can be transferred to someone else: the place isn’t lost.
