After being stuck in the Iguazu airport for nine hours (most of us were asleep on the hard marble floor), we arrived back to Buenos Aires. We were completely exhausted, so the professors let us sleep in! Don´t worry, we still went to school in the afternoon! However the extra sleep was much needed and it prepared us for our highly anticipated night ahead. After our school lessons, which I won´t go into (don´t worry, we learned a lot), we went home to prepare for our Tango lesson, show, and dinner.
Around 7:00 we arrived to Complejo Tango. Since most of us ladies were lookin´ pretty fine, we took taxis to our Tango experience. We arrived to what looked like a hole in the wall place with wooden doors. However after following the tight staircase up two flights we arrived to a beautiful and elegant space with different studies and a huge performing space. We started our Tang
o experience with a lesson from Alejandro. He taught us the three basic steps of Tango: the square, the eight, and the sexy pose (picture included). After learning these steps we spent the rest of the time practicing. Since there are thirteen females and one male in our group (Hardy), poor Hardy was passed around all thirteen women! He was a great sport though and proved to be quite the dancer. After receiving our Tango certificates, we entered a gorgeous dance hall with a stage and two floors of tables. We were served small appetizers and lost ourselves in a sultry evening of Tango music and dance. The dancing was phenomenal and the live music was mind blowing. Let´s just say it was an experience we will never forget. I know I went home with the desire to find Tango lessons in Birmingham. :)

The next evening a few of us went out to a hip new restaurant near our school called, ´´The Moving Bar´´ where they had an international trivia game! We participated in 5 rounds of trivia with people from New Zealand, Peru, England, Australia, and Brazil. After the g
ame eneded (we lost...) they put on music from all over the world. However since there were at least thirty Brazilians, we ended up listening and dancing to mostly Brazilian music! Man, those Brazilians love to dance! They were adamant about teaching us ´´gringas´´ to dance the samba! Finally after a round of much Brazilian dancing and a round of Spanish karaoke, we had to say ´´Adios´´ to our new international friends. It was fantastic meeting new people from all over the world who each spoke a different language. They only way we all could commuicate was through our non-native language of Spanish!
