Tango

Buenos Aires is the home of the tango. The dance/musical genre originated here (and Montevideo, Uruguay) over a century ago. I don't think a lot of Argentines dance tango, but it's survived and thrived, with lessons and shows throughout the city. We tried it; learned a couple of steps, patted ourselves on the back for remembering the short routine. And then we saw a show. Touristy for sure, but impressive nonetheless. All the kicks and spins and turns! And so fast. Our little steps didn't even begin to compare. It was beautiful.
