So you mentioned about how many? 3-4 alternative milongas? About the same
like in San Francisco.
Out of 140 weekly?
Aha.

No, actually I said, "At the Monday and Thursday practicas run by El Motivo
Tango...the music from 8pm - 11:15pm or so was entirely classical tango (Di
Sarli, D'Arienzo, Biagi, Pugliese, etc.).  From 11:15pm until midnight, the
music shifted toward what many would consider alternative."

A milonga with 3 hrs 15 min of classical tango and 45 min of "what many
would consider alternative" (maybe not Jackie, though ;) ) is...an
"alternative milonga"??  Under the circumstances I'm not sure if that's a
useful designation. That's more than 80% classical tango music at an
"alternative milonga".  What are the ratios at typical "alternative
milongas" in San Francisco?

All the best,
