It's summer in Buenos Aires and the milongas are hot at night.
One possibility for dancing in cooler conditions is an outdoor milonga.

Saturday, November 27 was the opening of La Calesita, a milonga in Centro
Recreativo Municipal.  It is located on Cdoro. Rivadavia 1350 off Libertador
8000.  It is about a half hour drive from the central part of the capital,
but well worth the trip if you hire a Remise to get you there.  A colectivo
would take too long.

The evening temperature was cool and perfect for dancing under the stars.  I
estimate there were 200 people for the opening.  Entrada is $5.  This is a
Saturday night milonga where singles can go with friends to dance.  I went
with a partner.  Make a reservation for a table which is held for you until
11:30pm.

The music was excellent.  The stone floor  could use some repair but was
adequate and did not deter dancers.  I saw many of the regular dancers I see
during the week there.

If you are coming to BsAs in the summer months, this milonga is on my list
of recommendations.
