We learned the Argentine Tango from an instructor in Denver this last weekend. Totally different from regular tango! Then we topped off the night by attending a ball in Manitou Springs and then going to a Salsa club… tons of practice there!
“You can go tango dancing any night of the week in Buenos Aires. Since milongas come and go, your best option is to check out either of the major tango magazines in the city, BA Tango or El Tangauta.
The web site www.tangodata.com.ar is dedicated entirely to tango events in Buenos Aires and around the world. Let’sTanGO! is a web site conceived of by a staff of experienced journalists that promotes Buenos Aires culture with Tango as a thematic core. Travelers can learn which dance dens are recommended for beginners (some milongas are only for advanced or intermediate dancers), which ones serve dinner, etc. Doing your research before you travel will add to the success of your experience.
If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need at least a handful of classes before you’ll feel ready to strut your stuff in public. These are a few tango teachers who can help you get to that point:
