Art and Culture in Buenos Aires

"Tango is a type of music and a type of dancing, and an extremely important part of Argentine culture. Though not every Argentine knows all the steps today, milongas (or tango clubs) are fortunately still alive and kicking.You can take tango lessons in specialized dance academies and in most milongas, such as La Viruta and La Catedral Club. Check out the open-air milonga at the Glorieta de Barrancas de Belgrano, a large gazebo perfect for dancing, on Saturday and Sunday nights. More than 300 people of all skill levels gather there to dance.If you’d rather watch than participate, you can catch street performances in Caminito (in the La Boca neighborhood), Plaza Dorrego (San Telmo), and Florida Street (Microcentro). To see an indoor show, consider the following venues: El Viejo Almacén, Tango Porteño, Rojo Tango, and Madero Tango." - MATADOR_NETWORK
