"I'm enjoying learning Argentine Tango"

What is interesting about the Argentine way of doing Tango is that it doesn't seem to be in time with the music. We are staying 5 minutes walk from Calle Florida in BA next week, where slappers both young and old perform amazing Tango.

Don't forget that Tango is by no means the only dance to come from Argentina - they have the Chacarera and the Chamame in Folklore circles which are widely danced in the north. If in BA on a Sunday, a must is La Feria de Mataderos where the locals dance Folklore in the street to live music, there is a superb art and craft market and some of the best beef in Argentina!!
