Are you referring to the lesson or the milonga afterwards? Although
experienced dancers for a beginner's lesson are nice to have, they are not a
requirement. Newbies tend not to stay long after a lesson (usually an hour at
most), so the experienced dancers shouldn't have any issues. Just make sure
you have good music and a fun environment for the milonga. And watch that
experienced dancers don't teach the newbies after the lesson. There's some
leeway, but a milonga is a milonga and a lesson is a lesson.
Truth be told, if you have young female beginners coming to the milonga, you'll
have the experienced guys coming, too. If the experienced guys are going,
you'll have the experienced women coming, as well.
