Usually the seats just next to the dance floor are good, because people can have a good view on the dance floor and it makes cabeceo easy. Where the popular milongueros / milongueras sit are good too, because they are good dancers, regularly customers plus friends of the organizers (if you’re the organizer, you won’t give your friend a bad seat, right?). If your seat has an opening view to the dance floor, almost nobody can block you (means you can see and be seen completely), and you are not far from the best / most wanted dancers in the milonga, then probably your seat is a good seat.

Different milongas have different settings, if you go to the same milonga regularly and observe, slowly you will notice where the best seats are.

I enjoyed reading this piece of writing very much, very detailed observation… but i don’t get where are the best seats actually? of course those nearest the dance floor are the best, but are there any other rules? like the left or right, those farthest from the entrance or nearest or those near the bar or away from the bar area or what ??…

Hey, we are going on 19 March. See you there soon.
