From Tourist to Insider: A Tango Life in Buenos Aires

What’s it really like to live and dance tango in Buenos Aires?

In this special episode, I talk with Lee Litas - a journalist, dancer, and now full-time resident of Buenos Aires- about her journey from tango tourist to tango local. After visiting 14 times, Lee made the leap to move permanently, and shares what changed when she stopped visiting and started living the dance from the inside.

We talk about:

– Why she chose to move during the pandemic

– The myths foreigners have about tango culture in Buenos Aires

– What it’s like to experience “too much tango”

– The importance of etiquette, codes, and floorcraft


Whether you’ve been dreaming of your first trip to BA or are just curious what it really means to live tango every day, this conversation will open your eyes to a deeper layer of the culture.
