Milonga Porteño y Bailarin: Tango in Balvanera Tango shows - Tango places Review

This milonga venue is my favourite!!!!
The place looks like a disco but its walls painted in orange give a very warm and cosy atmosphere. The people there were mainly Argentinians (and not too many western foreigners) and the distance between the dancers was not too big. There are two wooden small dance floor, one with orange tables all around at the entrance and another with green tables at the back of the place.
The dance style is milonguera, it means very close and slow. There is not a lot of space anyway.
We had there two tango shows during the ball : one of a professionnal couple and another of very young people..really great!

Salon Canning: Tango in Palermo Tango shows - Tango places Review

That was my first tango salon in Buenos Aires. It was a quite big place with a large wooden dance floor sourrounded by tables. There was also nice paintings on the walls.
The Dj was this night by the friend of Tete who is one of the oldiest tango teacher. As it was my first milonga, I spent a lot of time watching and discovering what was so special in a Argentine milonga : the codes of behaviour in tango. Then I danced my first four tangos with Charles... Not easy to get used to this custom of only four tangos!
We had a tango show of a japanese couple : I liked some special original moves and the neo tango music...interesting ;-)
There were there a lot of western tangueros and I did not dance with an Argentinian....
