Tango Porteño

Buenos Aires


Staged in a renovated art-deco theater, this tango show features snippets of old footage interspersed with plenty of athletic and sensual dancing. Though overtly touristy, the orchestra is excellent, and champagne and wine flow freely for those who purchase tickets for the dinner show. Guests are welcome to attend a complimentary tango class before the spectacle begins.
