Buenos Aires Travel Forum

I and two other tango dance friends are planning to be in Buenos Aires from about November 1 -12, 2008. Two of us have had some basic tango lessons in the US; the third has taught Argentina styled tango dance lessons in the US. We would like to take several days of tango lessons while in Buenos Aires. Who or what group would be the best for us? How do we contact them? Thanks! Also any suggestions for good restaurants, Tango dance shows and other points of interest?

Find a sweet cafe full of interesting people,then strike-up a conversation...and,whamo,you'll discover therein some restaurants the locals favor. Also, you will have fun drinking coffee. It is a known fact that serendipities most often occur in a cafe! Who knows...you just might find your dream tango partner in a cafe!

I'm a local and I took my first tango lessons some weeks ago in a very popular place called La Viruta. Check the website for timetables, but what you get is this: you attend lessons first (1 hour and a half, divided in three categories: beginner, intermediate and advanced students) and then you stay for the practice, which includes loads of pros but also newbies! It's fun and it's packed with locals, so you should give it a try! The entrance fee (including the lessons) is just 4 or 5 dollars.

Have fun! www.laviruta.com.ar
