El Querandí

Buenos Aires


This large corner venue is also an upscale restaurant. The show follows tango's evolution from its bordello origins to cabaret influences to milongas and modernism. There’s more low-key dancing than at other shows – and also more singing and musical interludes – so don’t expect overly athletic moves. One minus: columns can block some views.
