Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina


Buenos Aires is the center of a Tango culture that has spread around the world

If you dance the Tango, you have to visit Buenos Aires at least once in your Tango life. No matter how you dance, once you get a taste of the Buenos Aires embrace, you will probably return many times to replenish your soul at the source.

The "codigos" or rules of the Tango are followed in Buenos Aires. An important one is that a man must use the cabaceo (the nod or wink) to invite a woman to dance.

In classic milongas, you let the organizer seat you and your seat will be determined by whether you arrived alone, as a couple, in a group, by how you are dressed and how the organizer knows or guesses you can dance.

There is a clear difference between a Milonga and a Practica in Buenos Aires. People dress more elegantly for a milonga and do not dance nuevo. Practicas have a less formal structure and dress, and are the places where you can dance Tango Nuevo without disrespecting the event.

The more you respect the codes of Tango in Buenos Aires, the more fun you will have.
