I strongly recommend students start going to milongas once they feel comfortable with some of the Milonguero II elements. Milonga Loca de Amor or practica at Ciao Bella would give you an opportunity to dance with other Milongueros. We have all been there, more experienced dancers will be happy to dance with you.
