having originated in the brothels of the city, it was a forbidden
dance. Little by little, it turned into a popular dance until it became
the elegant dance of the High Society, reaching its highest international
popularity with Carlos Gardel, who took it all over the world with
his songs and films. At present, there are numerous clubs that offer
excellent tango shows featuring the best artists and dancers. It is
also possible to take tango lessons and dance with experts.
