When we began our milonga 14 years ago, we had maybe 10-15 people coming and Paradiso, our milonga, occurred every other week. Now we range from 50 to 90 or 100 people and it runs every Friday evening. It's been 14 years of continuous Friday evening milongas. It takes a lot of willpower to keep going in spite of other milongas in the city. We are consistently open every Friday evening; during holidays, long summer week-ends etc. Only very rarely do we close on a Friday evening. My associate and I have other full time jobs. We are based in Toronto. Our premise is at least to pay all costs and at the very minimum break even. This includes workshops as well. Right now, I'm in Baires and buying more music for our milonga.
