    How many of you made the move to Argentina solo?

    I'm another solo, who moved here with her cat 5 years ago. It's not easy, but it is easier the younger you are and if you have some money. I'm middle-aged without much money and I teach tango here with my Argentine partner, so everyday life is often a struggle. I suggest you participate in...

    One bedroom apt. on Corrientes near Junin

    My tanguero friend, Raimundo, rents his comfortable fully-equipped one-bedroom apartment in the back of a building on Corrientes, near Junin. If you are a tanguero, you can walk to the milongas of El Beso, Porteno y Bailarin, El Arranque, and DNI is just next door. You can read more and see...

    Cheap Tango Classes?

    Anyway, Cath, to get back to your question: my opinion with lots of tango teaching experience, is that it's better to start out with a few private lessons to make sure you don't develop bad habits (which can take years to break), and learn the fundamentals of technique before you learn steps...

    What's the secret to happiness in Buenos Aires?

    I agree with Sergio. I don't like to be negative, especially where people don't even know me, but I've lived in BsAs for 5 years, 4 of those with an Argentine. And my perception is they are not a happy people--and that's where the tango comes from. Because of one corrupt and ineffective...

    Music in BA...

    I'm a music lover from L.A. -- all kinds of music, except maybe for hard rock. So I just want to warn you of the different atmosphere here in BsAs in music clubs than perhaps you're used to. It was a shock to me to see that at a jazz club where a fantastic group was playing, the audience...

    New to Forum, but 5 years in BsAs

    Hi everybody, I'm so glad I found you all! I'm from L.A., moved to Mexico in 2001, and to BsAs in the beginning of 2004. Wow, how time flies! I live in Boedo (in a 2 bedroom rental), and teach tango and do Tango Tours with my Argentine partner, Ruben Aybar. I brought my American cat Phoebe...
