There is a Swing Dancing scene in BsAs.

My former roommate (short lesbian girl from North London with a weakness for slim hipped androgynous Chinese girls) was very big into that scene. She and her dance partner (a socially timid porteño Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor in desperate need of orthodontistry) used to practice up to 5 times a week (if I could tolerate it) and go to 2 or 3 dance nights per week.

However, they usually danced to recorded music or a 3 to 5 piece bluegrass swing ensemble with fiddle & standup bass occupying prominent positions in the band. I can recall going to one of their events and seeing a clarinet... though I might have seen a trumpet, but I honestly can't recall.

Look up "Swing Dancing Buenos Aires" and reach out to those people.

Suerte y besos chica

And I thought your main reason for travel to Buenos Aires was to improve your tango dancing.

It is. But I will have ample time (having no job) to do a lot of things too. Why not try different scenes? You're welcome to come!

I'm similar in outlook to you - here mainly for tango, but enjoy occasionally getting out to lindyhop for a change. There is definitely a scene here (including live bands). The calibre of dancers is nothing nothing llke the states of course (just like tango back home pales in comparison to here), but I've found the people friendly and enthusiastic. Simply look up the "Swing Argentina" group on Facebook for lots of listings. Enjoy!
