A Playful Rhythm
Tango is not only a dance or a type of music. Tango is culture. The culture of Tango is embodied by people with common geography and shared history. Many of these cultural aspects transcend frontiers, and our music, folkloric dances, and cuisine have gained worldwide recognition.
The mission of the Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires is to preserve the art of Tango in its complete form. Acknowledging that our folklore and our cuisine are intrinsic elements of the people that shaped and kept the identity of Tango, we are proud to offer the San Francisco Bay Area direct access to these other dimensions of Tango culture: Live Argentine folk music and dance demonstrations, and the tasty dishes that characterize our cuisine.
Are you planning an event and would like some unique, fun, and tasty entertainment? Are you curious about having a firsthand experience of our folklore, enjoying listening to our music live, and tasting the rich dishes of our cuisine?
Take advantage of the broad cultural and culinary dimensions that only natives of the land of Tango can bring to your doorsteps and allow the Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires to cater to the entertainment and culinary needs of your next event. Our services are fun, engaging, and offered with the characteristic grace of our people.
Our team includes a native argentine, a prominent guitar player who will delight you with tango and folk themes. A dance performance and informative and engaging talks about Tango can complement live music. Our conversations involve the history and evolution of Tango, the essential characteristics of the leading orchestras, and the structure and reasons for Tango codes and etiquette. To spice things up, if desired, we can incorporate a chacarera for everyone to participate. Chacarera is a fun communal dance with an engaging and easy-to-learn choreography that is fun to dance.
Good food is a central component of any cultural event. Have you ever tried a traditional BBQ from the Rio de la Plata? The BBQ style prepared in Argentina and Uruguay is considered unique for its tenderness, flavor, and variety of meats. We call our BBQ asado, and our asado is a feast. With our catering services, you can enjoy a typical asado, cooked traditionally, or choose from other well-known dishes in our cuisine, like empanadas, milanesas, pascualinas, pizza and faina, dulce de leche cake, alfajores, sambayon ice cream, etc.
Are you interested in learning how to cook the food of the land of Tango? We also offer cooking lessons, including the secrets of how to make a traditional asado; you’ll have a memorable experience you’ll want to recreate the first opportunity you get.
