Learning to Tango!
 
Are we crazy to think we can go to a milongas or anywhere else to try and do the Tango? We'd really like to try and learn a bit of it, but won't have time to do any intensive course.
Is there anywhere we could go to have a good time and learn to do the basic tango?

I don't have an answer for you, Ms. President, except that maybe you could do some research in the "other place" and then ask some more specific questions there.

Oh come on AV, you mean you don't know where we could go??? LOL
Ok, I'll check out the 'other' place.
How can we visit BsAs and not try the tango???

kodi, if you type milonga into the search box on TripAdvisor, you will get pages and pages discussing Tango shows and milongas.
Above is one that has a few ideas you might like ..
Good luck~

In addition to the link above,,,

Confiteria Ideal is a good place to take a lesson during the day.... http://www.confiteriaideal.com/

On Friday night, try la Viruta out in Palermo Viejo. Reserve a table in advance, enjoy a meal and Malbec, take a group dancing lesson and practice away to your heart's content....Sets of Tango are spaced between old time rock or salsa or whatever.....

Thank you all so much. It seems I should visit the 'other' forum more often. I will do that.
Drdawggy, the place you are recommending might just be the answer for us. A group lesson sounds good , since we will be two women on our own.
We can take turns being the guy!

Kodi, take turns being the guy or bat your eylashes at one of the dashing
Argentinos and await an invitation to dance. :)
