Studying Tango in Buenos Aires for the Winter Semester

In January 2023 I spent 3 weeks in Argentina studying tango (the dance, the music, the history). It was an amazing time! I always looked forward to coming to class because it was engaging, the professor was super passionate about the course, and she cared about the students.
It was an intensive program, sometimes 5 hours of class in a day, sometimes class staring late at night. But I got to see many parts of the city during class trips, I got around to understanding the history of tango and Buenos Aires, and I learned to feel confident dancing tango. (Honestly, best class I've ever taken! And I'm in my last semester of undergrad).
It was really nice to have a small class of just 8 students, we became friends quickly. And it was interesting to live with a host family to be more immersed in the culture. I'll admit not everyone had as great of a host family experience as me but I enjoyed it. I stayed with a host mom and her two daughters aged 8 and 10. When I was home from class we would draw pictures and play games. One day, we went to see my host mom perform in a theater show.
Communication was a bit difficult for those who didn't know any Spanish but they were able to learn some words, they were still able to get around and explore the city well and had a good time. (The tango program is taught in English. If you want to learn Spanish in particular, I would recommend the Spanish intensive program.)
