Tanguera coming from NYC

[RogueTango]

Hello!
I will arrive on MArch 8th. I am sooo happy to have stumbled across this site, it seems like a great resource. I am an interior designer, I was laid off from my job in August and have been freelancing since. I have been studying Tango for 2.5 years and cannot wait to get there and dive in .
I am looking for a room, on a budget preferable in the vicinity of the milongas (Palermo, Colegiales, Recolota).
If you know of anything, tango, room, or anyone in need of design help. Please let me know.
Ciao!

))) Where did you find milongas in Colegiales and Recoleta? These are the most upscale neighbourhoods - there is no tango there !

I found my place in San Telmo on Craigslist Argentina rooms / shared. It is a perfect fit for me. There are plenty of milongas nearby. Check out this site dedicated to dancing tango in Buenos Aires www.tangoandchaos.org . One caveat, the author doesn't care for Kung Fu tango.

Is it? I got the feeling SAn Telmo it was kind of too far.. It is hard to say there are so many milongas, I really don't know which ones I will frequent at this point.

I would like to add, as I sit here in a clilents loft in Tribeca, admiring my work , that I would love to pick up some freelance design gigs down there. If anyone needs some help, consultation, drawings etc. I am your girl. I do not know much about the resources in BsAs just yet, but what better way to learn ?!
PS. I can also paint and do various other handywork. I would even be willing to trade some interior work for a room- Let me live with you and make your house my project .

26 days to go.....

It´s quite helpful, but for the most up-to-date stuff on milongas, classes, events, etc., you can pick up a ¨tango-map¨ or the magazine ¨Tanguata¨ at almost any milonga.

Palermo and San Telmo have lots of milongas, as well as the Centro... just depends on your personal taste: what kind of milongas you like, as well as what kind of barrio would ¨fit¨ your personality.

Palermo is more chic and ¨higher end¨, and some places like Práctica X reflect that sort of atmosphere. If you moved there, you´d also be close to some really popular milongas like Salón Canning and La Viruta.

San Telmo, on the other hand, is more funky! There´s plenty of milongas there, as well as more ¨barrio¨ milongas where the locals go to hang out and chat (and there´s often live music). These places are more hidden from the tourists, and they´re quite fun if you want to experience a different side of tango culture...

There´s also the Centro, which can be un poco feo (lots of traffic, smog, etc.) but you can save a lot of $$ on cab-fare since you´re pretty much close to everything and there´s easy access to the subte lines and buses. Some popular milongas around there include El Beso, Porteño y Bailarín, and Maipu.

If you decide on Recoleta, I´d recommend living by the D-line, otherwise it´s hard to get around transportation-wise. It´s a fashionable place to live, but there just aren´t as many colectivos & you´re further out from the milongas.
