"The Global Milonga is an alliance of tango dancers, organizers, and teachers celebrating the tango's innate ability to unite and transform. Dozens of simultaneous tango events will be synchronized by online streaming video, and all partners have agreed to donate 75% of ticket sales (or 100% of profits) to a cause of universal importance, our planet. You'll be able to watch live videos of the event on this website and projected onto the walls of local venues. . . ."
