BocaTango


Went to Boca Tango last night since this person knows that person etc. The show was incredible and my parents loved it. I think that while Madero Tango is an amazing show (with differential pricing if you're Argentinian or not, bastards!), Boca Tango is way more fun. At Boca Tango there's a first theater part which they somehow make fun for even the most non-participative of participants. And then there was a serious tango music and dance part, with three couples all of whom were excellent. The level of the dancing wasn't perhaps as good as Madero Tango, but it's way better than La Esquina Homero Manci where only one of the couples was decent.

I was really impressed and enjoyed it. If you must spend 140+ pesos for a tango show, I would definitely recommend Boca Tango. On the other hand, you might want to save your money and just go to Bien Pulenta on Saturday night and watch when people finally dance. Though last night convinced me that at least one tango show in a Casa de tango is essential for any tourist stay in Buenos Aires.
