For the past two days, winter in Buenos Aires has seemed more like summer with temperatures in the mid-70s. The Campeonata Mundial de Tango has begun with classes and qualifying rounds and continues until August 22 when the finals are held.
Here are two events to add to your agenda if you will be in BsAs: Wednesday, August 25 Alicia de Regin opens a new milonga called Porteno Tango Club in the Cultural Center at Catamarca 433 near Av. Belgrano from 18 hs. Those who went to Regin years ago at the corner of Riobamba and Corrientes will remember Alicia. She has recovered from major surgery and is back to host another afternoon milonga. Monday, August 30 The first ever Homenaje a las Milongueras--finally the women get their night. Omar Viola of Parakultural is organizing this event in Salon Canning where milongueras Amanda Lucero, Margarita, Aurora and others will be featured in an exhibition. There are so few milongueras who still dance, so don't miss it. Amanda Lucero has the most beautiful feet that dance in the milongas of Buenos Aires. However, these days she's more occupied with selling tango clothing than dancing. You can find her at these milongas where you can try on clothes and buy them during a bathroom break: Monday & Friday nights: Parakultural in Salon Canning Tuesday night: Centro Region Leonesa Thursday afternoon: Club Espanol Saturday afternoon: Enrique's milonga in Centro Region Leonesa Pichi de Buenos Aires
