    Tango show and class

    There is no Argentina without tango, and there is no trip to Buenos Aires without a tango show. First, sit back and watch the professionals, then partake in a group lesson. Start working on your abrazo now (a.k.a. your “embrace,” a.k.a. the essential tango move), because once you’re there, you’re hitting up the pista, or the dance floor. Don’t be afraid to go all out!
