Mountain milonga: `tango therapy` finds unlikely Montenegrin home
(Artdaily.org)

Couples twist across a wood floor to the melancholy sounds of tango music, swaying and swivelling in a dance that comes from far away. The hours-long dance session, known as a milonga, is not in Buenos Aires but at the base of a ski-slope in a small Montenegrin town that has become the unlikely host to a thriving tango scene. `We call this `Tango Woodstock`,` said Darko Dozic, a lanky 36-year-old who brought the Latin dance to his hometown of Kolasin in Montenegro`s rugged north. Now in its eighth year, some 600 people from around the globe come every summer for nearly three weeks of `tango therapy` in the mountains of the Balkan country. The Tango Camp has become a badge of pride -- and welcome source of cash -- for a town of fewer than 3,000 people trying for a place on the tourism map. But that wasn`t always the case.
