2. For the Dance Devotee
Buenos Aires is a proud and passionate city and there is nothing that the people of Buenos Aires are prouder or more passionate about than the tango, the dance born in the working class districts of the city. There is no better place on earth to watch, learn and love the tango; whether it be on the streets of La Boca or at La Ventana’s dinner and show, you’ll be enchanted by the tango and perhaps even learn a step or two.
3. For the Bookworm
El Ateneo, located in the center of the city, is regularly referred to as one of the most beautiful book shops in the world. An old converted theater, it is both architecturally brilliant and artistically magnificent. There is nowhere better to enjoy the art of reading. It has books on every possible subject—and of course, a wonderful music section.
4. For the Beach Bum
Mar del Plata, is a great place to take a break from the frenetic buzz of the capital. Enjoy miles and miles of glorious beaches and sample some of the wonderful seafood— you won’t find any fresher than at this seaside resort! Round off the day with a concert at Teatro Colón; whether you are performing or watching, it's the perfect venue to enjoy an orchestra concert.
5. For the History Buff
Argentina's rich history is reflected and celebrated throughout the city of Buenos Aires. The eclectic architecture reflects the many immigrant influences that have shaped the city, country and culture. And nowhere in the city is this history more alive than at the Recoleta Cemetery. This is a place of true historical importance: it displays some of the best examples of 19th and 20th century funerary art and is the resting place of many of Argentina’s most influential figures, including Eva Peron (former First Lady of Argentina and the subject of the musical Evita).
Argentina has so much to offer for any type of performance tour. With such a rich culture, it's the perfect place for young performers to expand their horizons. To find out more, visit Encore Tours to view a sample itinerary, or get in touch with us about customizing a tour for you!
