The tango is the emblem of Buenos Aires. The city has numerous shows with orchestras and dancers, classes of dance in many cultural centres and milongas in different neighborhoods for all the tastes. Also Buenos Aires has become the headquarters of the world of dance. Since 2009 the greater international Tango event develops annually. This year the Tango World Championship will be held between 18 and 31 August, in the “Usina del Arte”, in the neighborhood of La Boca.

More than 400 couples of all the world come to the city to measure its talent and compete in the classic dance of Buenos Aires.
