Non-Tango Dance Classes and Dance Studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Neighborhood: Capital Federal
There are a lot of dance classes in Buenos Aires, Argentina other than tango. Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city of more than 3 million people in Capital Federal and a total of 13 million in Gran Buenos Aires, has a tremendous amount to offer a tourist, traveler or expat. The all night party scene here is spectacular. With dance clubs that do not start rockin until midnight and cafes that never close. It's an insomniacs dream.

In addition to the incredible nightlife Buenos Aires, Argentina is famous for Tango dancing. What you may not know is that there are many dance classes available in Buenos Aires that are not Tango. Buenos Aires is a city of the arts and these reasonably priced dance classes, 15 to 25 pesos a class, are offered though out the week at dance studios through out the city and its surrounding area of Gran Buenos Aires.

Popular styles of dance from the United States, Brazil, Africa and around the world are offered in Buenos Aires. You can take dance classes in Reggaeton, Hip-Hop, Afro, Lambada, Salsa, Jazz, Modern, Axe, Breakdance, Krumping, Ragga-Afro and so much more.

Classes at the dance studios are taught by first rate professional dancers, both men and women. Most classes are taught in the evening and are open to students of all ages, both adolescents and adults (like my fine dancing self). The classes are taught in Spanish but the teacher and other students, when possible, are happy to translate important information into English. What there is not a lot of is live drumming accompaniment like you find in the USA or Brazil.

The nicest and newest dance studio in Buenos Aires I have been to is the Dance & Move studio. This dance studio offers more than a dozen dance styles and has more than five studios. Most of the dance studios here have a wooden floor. Dance & Move studio is on 3663 Jorge Newberry, close to the intersection of Cordoba and F. Lacroze. This dance studio is easily accessible by bus (19, 21, 39, 42, 44, 47, 63, 65, 71, 76, 78, 87, 93, 111, 112, 123, 127, 140, 176 & 184) or subway (El Subte) red line B using the Frederico Lacroze station. (Telephone: 4554-8991).

The second nicest dance studio in Buenos Aires I have taken dance class in is Estudio Carlinhos Da Silva, 2810 Charcas. This dance studio has at least four studios for your dancing pleasure. This dance studio is easily accessible by bus (12, 29, 39, 68, 92, 111, 128, 152, 188 & 194) or subway green line D using the Aguero Station. (Telephone: 5778-5232).

This third dance studio in Buenos Aires, Baliao 2787 L.N. Mansilla, is smaller but is worth mentioning because the owners are so helpful and the classes are great. This dance studio is near the intersection of Cordoba and Pueyerredon and easily accessible by bus (12, 29, 34, 41, 62, 64, 68, 106, 109, 111, 118, 140, 152, 188 &194) or subway, the red (B) line or green (D) line using the Pueyerredon station.
