Buenos Aires is hosting a distinctive tango experience at the Che Che Tango Premium "mini milonga." This event specifically caters to women who often face lengthy waits or no partners at traditional tango gatherings, known as "milongas," due to a significant gender imbalance. To combat this, women can pre-book their dance sessions through WhatsApp, securing guaranteed partners for their entire dance time.
The "Taxi Dancers" are carefully selected professional tango dancers and teachers, ensuring high-quality instruction and companionship on the dance floor. This innovative approach allows dance enthusiasts like 69-year-old Antje Rickel from France to fully enjoy their passion without the usual frustrations. Rickel expressed satisfaction with her young partner's "great control," highlighting the seamless communion achieved during their dance.
Organizers Alejandro Justiniano and Sara Parnigoni conceived the idea to provide an intimate setting where women can "reach their full potential in their dancing." The program runs on Wednesdays and Fridays, offering two-hour sessions. Foreign attendees pay approximately $37 (55,000 pesos), while Argentine nationals and residents are charged around $30, making tango more accessible and enjoyable for all.
