After living in Buenos Aires for the last year, I recognized the need for a tour company that caters to women only. Ana Lma and I have heard many women complain of Buenos Aires tango tours or festivals: the classes are geared towards teaching men floor patterns and less on women's technique; the tour operators cram in too many activities leaving people exhausted at the end of the day; and the milongas are overcrowded with tourists making good dancing nearly impossible. All in all, the women scarcely get a glimpse of the real Buenos Aires. We have started a tour, Tanguera Tours, which is for women only. We want to pamper you and uncover the best of Buenos Aires while you enjoy the companionship and support of other fun, energetic dancing women on the tour. Our goal is to focus your tango studies on the most fundamental and empowering techniques for us as women dancers. We want to show you the Buenos Aires that only the locals know. Discover the milongas and tango culture from two veteran milonga dancers who will show you the ropes so that an otherwise intimidating situation turns into enjoyment and possibilities. Our tour is ten days long. It will include a 90-minute class in women s tango technique every day with the option for adding private lessons. Internationally renowned dancers will teach the classes. Also, we will include basic stretching and general dance classes where we will learn the strength and flexibility of our bodies, the greatest tools in becoming excellent dancers. Patterns do not matter to women...we need balance, posture, and to walk in a strong, grounded way. Most say that in these short 10 days they learned more than all their previous years of studying tango in the United States. In our time off the dance floor we will: see a phenomenal tango stage show in the new Piazolla Center; explore the various neighborhoods with their unique charms, fairs, shopping districts, and historical sights; dine in some of BsAs best restaurants; experience a typical porteqo asado; and experience the tranquil islands of the nearby town of Tigre. And, of course, you will experience the most iconic, enjoyable milongas in town. What4s more, we will make sure that you dance and not just become another foreigner left as a wallflower on the sidelines of the milongas. Our goal is that you improve your tango immensely, discover the porteqo culture and rituals, and enjoy to the fullest the true tanguera nightlife.
