Tango Salón

Bokova celebrates the lives of the tangueros and tangueras, old milongueros, local and foreign dancers of all ages, all of whom share stories of tango and love.
At the Confitería Ideal, there is an atmosphere of eternal romance, haunted by the old 20s orchestras and the melodies of the tango ensembles that echoed between its columns in the 40s and 50s, and the dreams of poets who were reinventing the world at their tables.

Clase Magistral por Miguel Ángel Zotto

Giros and enrosques (turns and twists)

Miguel Zotto is one of the most important dancers of his generation. He took part in Tango Argentino and later founded, alongside Milena Plebs, the company Tango x 2, a landmark of the 1990s that gave rise to a cliché-free style that was exported to the whole world: a “for export” style of which the full-blooded Porteños approve. With an over twenty-year career, the company keeps growing and captivating audiences worldwide. Zotto’s dancing is elegant and playful, two features of Buenos Aires men which, when delivered moderately, characterise the good tango. This is an ideal opportunity to learn from a great artist who rarely gives lessons.

Milena Plebs y Ezequiel Farfaro - Guardia Hereje, Javier "Cardenal" Domínguez - Pablo Banchero, Orquesta Misteriosa Buenos Aires, MIlonga Dj

A panorama of an emerging generation –raised within the
codes of rock– that found catharsis in a visceral tango of
Spanish guitars and dance orchestras, raw or acid lyrics and
a garage attitude.
