Hello Spiders!
Congratulations on going to the greatest school in the world and for choosing to study abroad. I loved my study abroad experience (Botswana, 2012) and I still think about the adventures, studies, and friends from that time. Cherish this moment as you learn about yourself and have the adventure of a life time. Keep an open mind 🙂
Class of 2013!
Hi Elizabeth!
It’s so great you’re taking Tango, and in the US! It’s great when cultures from other parts of the world are experienced other places like Richmond, VA and Finland.
From my time here in Buenos Aires, talking to Argentines and experiencing Tango firsthand (I’m not too good haha) I’ve heard and realized that most citizens of Buenos Aires unfortunately do not know how to Tango. Like I mentioned in my post, it is kept alive by “authentic porteños (residents of Buenos Aires) who wish to maintain the tradition” because otherwise, it is losing popularity, just as it is not crazy popular in other parts of the world. I suppose in saying it is “becoming antiquated,” I made it seem that the Tango has disappeared. I simply meant that it is not as popular as it has been in the past, like when it was first danced in the traditional milongas of Buenos Aires.
That being said, it’s still very accessible here. My parents took a lesson when they visited me and loved it. I took a lesson too and enjoyed it! You can see performances in the streets near big fairs and you can go to traditional milongas still!
Hope your lessons go well and maybe you can visit Buenos Aires someday to show off your skills! 🙂
Best,
Dan
