- Story Text: The tango once again took center stage in the heart of Buenos Aires on Saturday (December 17) as fans danced their interpretation of this quintessential dance so long synonymous with all things Argentine.
Gliding and dipping to their hearts content many of the tango partners maintained the tango pose, tight embrace, eyes closed and foreheads touching as they danced.
"The social aspects of being on the street and sharing this festival with everyone is very important," said Susana Bongiovanni who came to dance with her friend Horacio Maccaro.
"The Milonga is another thing and as all things that are difficult, like golf," added Macarro before hitting the dance floor. "The harder it is, the better you get at it, the more you like it afterwards."
The culture ministry of Buenos Aires organized the event known as "The Great National Milonga" for five years and has become a must for locals and tourists alike.
It does take two to tango but the Great National Milonga proves what every tango fan knows and that is that there is always room for more. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
