Anton, The "clubes de barrio" are not always in the outskirts of BsAs, but just small social clubs in neighborhoods that tourists never go to.
What makes them generally different to the big milongas everyone knows about is that Generally everyone knows each other and dance with their friends; There's less cabeceo; People sit in long tables and groups and are not divided by sex; Classical tangos are played but there is more "tropical" and folklore; Usually food, real food not snacks, is served and people have dinner; The level of tango is lower; Often the event is called a "baile," not a milonga. It can be lots of fun to visit such dances, but only if you go with friends. cherie http://tangocherie.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
