Tango is too expensive for the locals. It used to be we could go to dance every night and maybe in the afternoon. Now, no matter how much you love tango, you can only go maybe twice a week. The entrance to a milonga is 20 pesos, something to drink another 10. If you have to take a taxi home, at the least it is 20 pesos. A 50 peso night. For an American this is $12, for a European, 10 euros. For us, it is still 50 pesos
Sobering post, looking at how the economics of Argentina are affecting tango in Buenos Aires.
