This Argentine tango show is held inside the Borges Cultural Center (BCC) located inside the beautiful Galerias Pacifico shopping center in Buenos Aires. Theater type seats are basic, cushioned, and comfortable. Different performances of tango are scheduled for different days during the week. Three of us went to see Pasion de Tango show on a Tuesday evening. One of the few early tango shows in Buenos Aires central area so you can plan other activities such as wining and dining at other places. One purchases open-seating tickets at least one-hour before the show at their manned kiosk inside the BCC. Cost in Feb 2020 was only $900 Argentine Pesos. Cash only, no credit cards. Theatre is air-conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. Lighting is good. Sound is good. No photography or video recording of any kind is allowed during the performance. They sell DVDs after the show however, we never found them. The performance included a small live band which played quite well. The dancers performed historic Argentine tangos covering several periods and costume changes. A solo male singer serenaded the audience between dances. The entire show started early at 8 pm and ended at just over an hour. This allows finding dinner later at a dedicated restaurant. In summary, a great introduction to historic Argentine tangos with no frills (no drinks or food service to gouge patrons).

We had tango lesson, dinner and enjoyed the show . I was excited about the lesson, but there were many people, we learned only some basics. I was expecting private lesson and learn more . But watching show after the lesson made me appreciate, admire it a lot more . Dancers so great , I wish I could dance like them ???? hard work. We enjoyed limitless wine , steak was also good . Everything was amazing! They also do transfer from hotel and back, included to the price. Highly recommend!

Buenos Aires is, without doubt, the birthplace of Tango in all its expressions. With its lights and shadows, its landscapes, that nostalgic and sentimental spirit that give the perfect setting to infinite variations and tango demonstrations. Bs. As Tango Passion is a perfect synthesis that encompasses all these spectra and the plasma without losing any of the features that distinguish it from any other genre. We recreate an ample concept of Tango as Integral show without letting go of the mystical essence of this phenomenon. Tango as an expression able to connect the elegance and sophistication of its aesthetic with passion, sensuality and style inherent to delivery allows us to develop a perfect cocktail that grabs the viewer through a song, a dance of seduction and romance or a voice that tells a story carried this wistful expression. We conceive Tango through all aspects. We offer passion, love, hate, romance, emotion mischief ... Buenos Aires Pasion de Tango is undoubtedly the tango in its purest and its most attractive side. Buenos Aires Pasion de Tango was founded in 2000 as a comprehensive proposal of Tango, including in his shows all variants of the genre: dancing, singing and live music. The company presentations are characterized by their high visual impact and dynamism. Upscale wardrobe, scenery framing different times and situations and a cast of established artists in the genre impress their majestic performance to each scene. The carefully chosen repertoire takes the viewer on each letter, melody or dance piece.
