[Tango-A] SA: The Perfect Time to Go to Buenos Aires (cheap flights, great tour)

[Meredith Klein]

>From April 20-29, 2009, Andres & Meredith will show you the best of
Buenos Aires--from a tanguero’s perspective, of course.  This is your
chance to immerse yourself in the city of Buenos Aires and its many
different tango scenes in the company of a native who has been part of
the tango community in BA for over 20 years.  Andres grew up in the
Villa Crespo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, dancing in some of the very
clubs that we’ll attend on the tour (Villa Malcolm, Club Fulgor, and
Club Sunderland, for example).  Of course, Andres is renowned as a
dancer of “nuevo tango,” so in addition to attending traditional
venues, tour participants will get to dance in the practicas and
alternative milongas where cutting-edge innovations are still
happening in tango on a daily basis.  In addition, you’ll benefit from
Meredith’s experience as a foreigner who moved to Buenos Aires, lived
there for three years, and speaks the language fluently.

The tour cost includes the following:

--9-nights accommodation (double occupancy) in La Luna Llena, a
stunning Bed & Breakfast in Palermo that features a large dance space
and an amazing roof deck, in a quiet, yet very hip, neighborhood.
--Entrance to the milongas and practicas that are part of the group’s
itinerary (often two per night!);
--12 hours of group classes (arranged specially for tour participants
in the location where we’re staying) with outstanding traditional and
nuevo tango teachers;
--Intelligent, un-touristy tour of the city;
--Special farewell dinner at our favorite restaurant in the world;
--Accomplished Argentine dancers who will assist the group in milongas
and group classes;
--Excursions to shop for shoes, clothes and CDs (you pay for your
purchases, of course);
--Airport transfers in Argentina;
--24-hour availability of Andres and Meredith for translation,
recommendations, problem-solving, you-name-it (just give us a few
hours to sleep each day, please).

Airfares have plunged recently and you can currently buy a round-trip
from NYC to Buenos Aires through Carbone travel
(www.1800ARGENTINA.com) for $599 including all taxes.  This fare is
only available through February 27.
