We are just beginning to learn Argentine Tango, and, after years of ballroom, are having to unlearn a lot before we get comfortable with learning Argentine. When we go to BA we really want to go to a milango where we can dance. Dinner and a little wine would be even more wonderful, but dancing is our main goal. Maybe you or that devilishly handsome Gaucho can make suggestions.
Dancing in Manhattan: there are places to go every night but each is different depending on whether you are a couple or single, dance traditional or "alternative". and each night they may be different styles or crowds. Please feel free to email me on any particular night for ideas.

this is a useful link ( this is not my website) it is by a fellow Tango dancer in NYC.

Ballroom to Argentine Tango... as you are finding out are totally different and many have same problem unlearning things like posture, embrace etc but don't give up it is real fun when you get it.

B.A like manhattan different places on different days and night, except many more choices. email is best I hate to make general statements except Nino Bien on thursdays, Canning on Tues/Fri and El beso or down the block Porteno Ballarin usually are good and for a very traditional night I always say Sunderland ( a large old Gym) should be experienced on Sat.

see this link and at the bottom can click on photos of Sunderland and other milongas in BsAs

BTW don't be suprised about Tango in China,,, it is growing all over the world. The above link by Torito from the Netherlands also connects to his world wide Tango map and it shows Tango in Bejing and Hong Kong. We have danced in Japan, Italy, France, Holland, Germany,Istanbul, Moscow, Australia,Stockholm therefore the need for FT, and since it is very early I think I am leaving some places out.

Just don't give up however you might find it an addiction and "ballroom friends" might try an intervention.
