Rules for Listing Events, Schools, and Workshops on newyorktango.com

Tango organizers and instructors are responsible for updating newyorktango.com with changes to their events, classes, and personal details, e.g. cancellations, new phone number, etc. Facebook links will be accepted but realize that many website users don’t belong to Facebook and won’t be able to get further information about your event.

The newyorktango.com team reserves the right to refuse or remove any listing at their own discretion.

All listing and update requests should be sent to "info at newyorktango dot com"

Please include your full COVID protocol when submitting your request


Rules for listings on the main NYC calendar page:

This is the information that is put in the calendar itself. Information is always put in this order. We do not list any other information in the main calendar, all additional details are listed in the details section below the main calendar (for recurring events only) or in a link provided by the organizer (for one-off events):

[Symbol for whether the event is outdoors or has live music] [Name of Milonga] @ [location (recurring events have name of space with link to it in the details section, one-off events have name and shortened version of address with link provided by organizer for more info like directions)]; [time of milonga itself (not including classes)]; DJ: [DJ name]; Host: [host name]; Class ([class time, class type - adv./int./beg.]): [teacher name]; Perf: [performer’s names]; Live music: [music info]
[Abbreviations for whether there is wine or beer, snacks, a class, etc.]

NOTE: We do not allow admission prices to be listed in the main part of the calendar anymore due to many requests for extremely long listings. Admission prices will only be listed in the details section. For one-off events, organizers must provide a link to some other source (Facebook event, website, etc) to more details about their event. 

The name of the milonga location must be the name of the actual physical location of the milonga. For example, if the milonga is held in a dance studio which is being rented out for the milonga, the name of the location must be the name of that dance studio. If you have a lease with the property owner that indicates that you are a tenant, then it will be in your name but otherwise it will be listed as the actual location.

The details section is only for locations that have recurring events every month in the same location. For recurring events, the links on the calendar are on the location of the event and the link goes to the details section which has more details about the event. For events that are not recurring, the location is written in the calendar section but the organizer should give a link to additional details for people to find out exact location and more details. The information in that link must match the information given for the calendar. 

In the details section, there is more freedom as to the amount and type of information to include. The one rule is that because this is a non-biased guide, the information cannot include adjectives that make it seem like newyorktango.com is describing the event as "premier" or "the best" or "wonderful", etc.

Milongas will only be listed if they are one hour or longer and if the public can pay to attend just the milonga and not have to take a class or workshop.

Milongas cannot contain "class" or "master class" in the name in an attempt to get around the rules for not listing workshops by tri-state area teachers. Any milonga with "class" or "master class" in the name will be rejected.


Rules for non-NYC pages (bridges & tunnels, Connecticut, New Jersey)

Bridges & Tunnels / Metro Area is any location in New York State that is not in NYC.
B&T/Metro and Connecticut pages are set up as a list organized by location, not in calendar format
New Jersey is set up in calendar format but only by the week that the event falls on within the month (week 1, week 2, etc) plus the day

Listings can include food & drink, parking, directions, cost, etc but CANNOT include information that changes every week such as DJs, performers, and teachers. We add these events once with a link to more details but we do not update these events constantly with new information.

The same rule applies for these pages as the main page - because this is a non-biased guide, the information cannot include adjectives that make it seem like newyorktango.com is describing the event as "premier" or "the best" or "wonderful", etc. In addition, milongas or prácticas will only be listed if they are one hour or longer and if the public can pay to attend just the milonga or práctica and not have to take a class or workshop.


Rules for NYC Práctica page

Prácticas are listed in a similar way as the milongas but slightly more information is included. In addition, práctica links don’t work the same way as calendar links. Calendar links go to the section below the calendar. Práctica links go to a website which the should organizer provide to the newyorktango team.

[Name of Práctica] @ [name of location], [address of location]; Hosted by: [host name]; [time of milonga itself (not including classes)]; [other information about the event like if it is held once a month, if they serve refreshments, if there is a DJ and who it is, etc.

Prácticas will only be listed if they are one hour or longer and if the public can pay to attend just the práctica and not have to take a class or workshop.

Prácticas cannot contain "class" or "master class" in the name in an attempt to get around the rules for not listing workshops by tri-state area teachers. Any prácticas with "class" or "master class" in the name will be rejected.


Rules for the Workshops & Performances page

Workshops:

The only workshops listed are from instructors who do not live in the tri-state area (NY, Connecticut, New Jersey). This means that if you are found to have a tristate-area address (in the teachers section, on social media, on your website), you cannot have a workshop listed on that page (workshops and classes are listed on the Tango Instruction page, see below for more information). Note that sometimes we have an out-of-town teacher combined with a tri-state teacher. In that instance, the out-of-town teacher is listed and the tri-state teacher is added in parenthesis. Tri-state teachers can list workshops and classes under their own teacher listing.

Information needed for listing is the following: Date, name of instructor(s), type of workshop (tango, vals, milonga), location of workshop. It is recommended to also provide a link which will be put on the entire line to a location where people can get more detailed information.

Performances:

Events which have no dancing can be listed in the performances area. This is the information needed for a listing:

Name of event
Date
Time
Location
Details: [include information like a website or short description of the event.


Rules for the Tango Instruction page

Tango schools in New York City are listed in the top area of this page. Tango instructors plus schools that are not in NYC are listed in the bottom area. For NYC schools, if the school rents studio space for their classes, the name of the school will be [Name of school] @ [Name of location].

Tango schools in NYC: Name of school, address of school, list of instructors. A link can be added to the name of the school that should go to the website for the school. An additional link can be added to instructors with the link to the instructor page on the school website.
In order to be considered a tango school you must have the following:

  1. A link to a website with the name of the school on the website.
  2. All teachers listed correctly and consistently on both newyorktango.com and the tango school website.
  3. You can have your school location in multiple locations, but the branding of the school and the teachers must be clear and consistent and any changes must be communicated to newyorktango.com immediately.
  4. Up to date contact information must be clearly stated on the tango school website.

Tango instructors + non-NYC schools: Tango instructors are listed alphabetically by last name and schools by the first letter of the first word. The information that can be included doesn't have to go in a particular order. Most instructors include a phone number, email address, website, and a short description of what they offer such as "Performances/events, group classes, private lessons". If the instructor holds group classes, they can include the information about the classes in this section. Instructors may also submit a photo for this section.
