Buenos Aires Tango Festival
The spirited soul of Buenos Aires,Argentina lies in its most famous export – the sultry tango – which has been enjoying a renaissance of late among local porteños (as residents are known) and visitors alike. The annual Buenos Aires Tango Festival (held this year from February 22-March 3, 2008), brings the music outside from the tango halls and onto to the streets of Buenos Aires, along with some of the country's top milongeros (tango dancers) to show spectators just how the dance is done. And thanks to free tango dance classes (for everyone from beginner to advanced dancers), you can learn this sexy dance at its place of origin and bring home some moves that'll last a lifetime.
