For anyone who loves to dance, Buenos Aires is a great place to be. This city really knows how to throw a party and often dance classes are followed by a party\u00a0where you can debut\u00a0your new dance skills all night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before Argentina&#8217;s great waves of immigration from Europe in the late 1800s, the population in Buenos Aires consisted of 1 indigenous person for every 3 European settlers. This ratio made Buenos Aires a city with a mixed population with\u00a0contrasting\u00a0identities. The European settlers, and later, immigrants from mostly Spain and Italy repressed and rejected a Latin American identity and fought to reconstruct their home identities outside of Europe. It is thought that for this reason, traditionally Latin American rhythms are less popular in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With that being said, there is no lack of opportunities to dance in Buenos Aires. Argentines, expats, and visitors alike love to dance and get together in bars, clubs, and other public spaces for an undetermined amount of time (meaning all night) to enjoy the ample variety of genres and eclectic dancers in the city! In this post we will outline the varieties of genres popular in Buenos Aires and recommend a few places to go dancing!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>TANGO<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u00a1El Tango perfecto!

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/neighborhood-close-up-the-history-of-abasto-prostitution-tango-raquel-liberman\/\">history of tango<\/a> is quite fascinating and more complex than most realize. Although tango had gone underground in recent history, the dance is more alive and accessible than ever, so much so that you can\u00a0find a <em>milonga<\/em> (tango gathering) every night of the week. Milongas often last until the wee hours of the morning&#8230; like 6 a.m. Yes, you\u00a0read that correctly.\u00a0Whether you are a beginner, a <em>tanguero<\/em>, or somewhere in between, there is a milonga for you somewhere in Buenos Aires. Some of the most popular (and most advertised) places to take a class is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavirutatango.com\/\">La Viruta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacatedralclub.com\/\">La Catedral<\/a>, both great places for beginners to take a class and later practice during the milonga that follows. In addition, Mente Argentina offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/6\/Short-Programs\/8\/Tango-Program-in-Argentina\">tango program<\/a> at one of the most renowned dancing schools in the world.<\/p>\n<p>You can see a tango show at inumerable locations all over the city. Since tango has become a major tourist attracting, there are many street performers around main tourist attractions, particularly El Caminito in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/neighborhoods-in-buenos-aires\/\">La Boca<\/a>. Alternatively, you can go to see a tango show at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viejoalmacen.com.ar\/\">El Viejo Almac\u00e9n<\/a>, one of the most famous spots in the city.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>ROCK<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silvina Escudero - Rock &amp; Roll - Bailando 2010\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B5g2mM1qPJA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Rock is an extremely important part of modern Argentine culture.

For classes,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavirutatango.com\/\">\u00a0La Viruta<\/a> is probably your best bet. Although it is common to see couples dancing at any rock concert, there are party scenes all over town that are just for rock and roll dancing. In addition, on Sunday afternoons, along the boardwalk of Costanera Sur\u00a0you can find various groups dancing to rock and cumbia as a way of enjoying some fresh air.\u00a0To get involved with the Rock and Roll dance community, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ROCKANDROLLARGENTINO\/\">check out their facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>SWING<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SWINGIN&#039; PARTY! - Niceto Club | Lado A - Abril 2014\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aXLZO1ZUk3E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, the Buenos Aires swing scene is booming and is the largest in South America.
