Tango
in Buenos Aires by Buenos Aires For You
Experiencing a Tango Show is
one of the most common activities in Buenos Aires, fun, flirtatious and
romantic allure, which is characteristic of Argentina in general, but also
because Buenos Aires is where the tango was born about 100 Years Ago.
While travelling through
Buenos Aires you will see many exhibitions of street tango along with a
vast range of tango souvenirs, tango music stores, tango artists and tango
accessories on almost every street corner. However, the most important
tango experience that no traveler should miss out on, is a visit to a Professional
Tango Performance. In Buenos Aires there is tango for everyone, from passionate
lovers to curious tourists, from young adventurers looking low budget tango
experiences to senior travelers expecting a more fancy artistic evening.
If
you prefer more holistic experience you can choose a full program of tango
dinner show with tango lessons, or go for an only tango show if you are
not used to have dinner at the late Argentinean time.There are also Tango
Shows which incorporate samples of Buenos Aires folklore directed to those
looking for a broad picture of the musical culture of the country, or tango
exhibits that compile its history in few dancing acts for those looking
to learn in deep the development of this rhythm and its adaptation to the
modern times. So the final question is, what type of tango audience are
you?
When striving for perfection,
every small detail counts. The same too applies for travelling. If you're
going to spend one whole night at a Tango Show, not to mention spending
quite a few dollars, of course you want the show to be aptly suited to
your needs.
To ensure that both your
tango experience and your vacation to Buenos Aires are thoroughly enjoyable,
here you will find simple guidelines based on our experience from our fellow
customers.
- If you are willing to try
few steps of tango, opting for a Tango Dinner Show with Lessons will be
both fun and fulfilling, then Complejo Tango and Sabor A Tango include
tango dancing before the dinner.
- If you are looking for
an Innovative Tango Dinner Show then either Madero Tango has a modern version
of this art or Piazzolla Tango which recreates the famous Four Seasons
piece written by Astor Piazzola, one of the biggest innovators of Tango,
will offer you a contemporary and professional show.
- If you get bored easily
and you need something more spectacular, with innovative lighting, a unique
stage, original music, and exclusive performance, then Senor Tango is definitely
the place to visit.
- If you are interested in
spending an evening immersed in authentic sample of local culture, surrounded
by professional tango and the rhythm of Argentinean folklore, then you
should think in a Cultural Interest Tango Show in San Telmo such as El
Viejo Almacen and La Ventana. Also Sabor A Tango offer an outstanding gaucho
skills and folklore show.
- If you are a bohemian
and you want a traditional, unpretentious tango experience, then Cultural
Interest Tango Show El Querandi or Taconeando in San Telmo, or Esquina
Homero Manzi in the neighbourhood of Boedo, will offer you a classic and
romantic performance.
If after reading this article
you still have no idea about which tango show you should attend, then take
a look at our Best Sellers Category, to see what our customers prefer and
what experiences they have enjoyed the most.
Don't forget that if you
are on a low-budget vacation, and simply want to complete your "must-do"
list, then selecting a Tango Show without the dinner will still be an enjoyable
Experience.
