Creating and Managing Events

Any tanguero on Tanguear can publish events. Whether you are a dancer organising a practica, a teacher promoting your workshops, or a school running a festival — all you need to do is become a publisher.

To become a publisher, go to Settings > Publisher Preferences and accept the terms and privacy policy. Once activated, a Create Event button appears in the bottom navigation bar of the app.

This guide explains the three key concepts behind every event on Tanguear — Events, Schedules, and Recurrences. Once you understand these building blocks, creating any kind of event becomes straightforward.

The three building blocks

Think of every Tanguear event as a set of nesting boxes:

1. The Event — the big picture

An Event is the overall container. It has a title, a description, and optional media like photos and videos. It represents "what" you are organising — for example, Milonga del Sur or Buenos Aires Tango Festival 2026.

An Event on its own does not have a date, a time, or a location. Those details live inside Schedules.

2. The Schedule — when, where, and how much

A Schedule is a specific occurrence within your Event. It defines:

• What type of activity it is (milonga, class, workshop, concert, performance)
• When it starts and ends (date and time)
• Where it takes place (venue name and street address)
• How much it costs (entry price, or free with optional donations)

Every Event must have at least one Schedule. But it can have many. For example, a three-day festival might have:

Each Schedule can have its own image, video, guests, tags, and even a separate attachment (such as a PDF flyer).

3. The Recurrence — for events that repeat

If your event happens regularly — for example, every Tuesday evening — you do not need to create a new Schedule each week. Instead, you set up a Recurrence pattern.

A Recurrence tells Tanguear:

• How often the Schedule repeats (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly)
• Every how many intervals (every 1 week, every 2 weeks, etc.)
• Until when the pattern ends

Tanguear then automatically generates the future dates for you. Each generated date can even have a different price if needed.

Example: Your milonga happens every Wednesday from 20:00 to midnight, from March through June.

• You create one Schedule: "Wednesday Milonga, 20:00 – 00:00"
• You set recurrence to: weekly, every 1 week, ending 30 June
• Tanguear generates all the Wednesdays for you automatically

Summary

With these three building blocks, you can describe anything from a simple weekly milonga to a complex international festival — all from your phone or from the Publisher Area on the web.
