Los códigos milongueros forman parte de la cultura tanguera. Y si continúa
el proceso de licuación de las convenciones que dan encanto y marco al baile,
estaremos mutilando un legado del cual muchos argentinos estamos orgullosos .
(The Milonga Codes are part of the Tango Culture. Should the process of
dilution of the conventions that frame and give charm to the dance continue,
we will be mutilating a legacy of which many Argentines are proud of).
The Milonga Codes have a function of identification and filtration or screening
between the inside and the outside of the tango scene.
They are markers for those that know them, and mysterious for those from the
outside world (that would have a lot to do before it could find any logic).
It comes to mind the scene in the movie "Eyes wide shut" in which Tom Cruise
enters a mansion where a clandestine orgy is taking place, he is unaware that
he provided the wrong password at the entrance and that this has marked him
from the beginning.
The transgressor ignores that he was identified as an intruder from the start.
Certain rules are never explained, they become true codes in the sense that
only a very attentive observation of customs in force at the milongas can allow
elucidation.
Milonga codes are then at the same time elements of clarity for the inside and
of opacity for the outside, they create the certitude of the "otherness" of
tango and make the tango community something totally separated and different
from the rest of society.

Le Code des milongas e son é ude posen égalemen la ques ion des
rappor s du collec if au
par iculier e inversemen . En réali é, on peu souligner une cer aine
priori é on ologique e
a iologique du général sur le par iculier, du collec if sur le couple, e du
couple sur l’individu. Le
social précède le couple, au sens où le ango n’a jamais e is é e ne pourrai
e is er au remen que
socialemen , de la même manière que le couple domine l’individuel, au
sens où il es presque
absurde d’imaginer un ango dansé seul. En ermes norma ifs, l’on peu faire
ou ce que l’on veu
