Rubin Milonga started dancing tango at the age of 12 (in 1956). He has been dancing for 44 years, and is an expert in the history of tango styles. At 15 he began collecting all things related to tango, from objects to oral histories. He became a licensed psychologist in 1984 and opened a dancing school for tango, milonga and tango vals in 1987. In 1993 he was able to combine his careers when he was appointed professor at the Tango University of Buenos Aires. He taught classes in the psychology of tango and the Porteqo, and in tango literature. He has authored and co-authored several investigative works on tango and milonga, and has lectured and taught tango dances around the world. He teaches "Milonguero, " Canyengue", "Orillero" and other dance styles.
