Fabián Salas, thus the most important parts of it - the instruction
and organization, have proven to be the absolute best of its
type every year since 1999.
2. The price of the C.I.T.A. has no comparison to any of the Tango
tours that go to Argentina. This event is a lot less expensive, if you
think about how many hours of highest quality instruction you get for your money, plus
the milongas and the incomparable shows.
3. This is NOT a tour. Therefore you are welcome to
arrange your own itinerary, your own accommodations, and your own schedule,

"The tango is evidently,
once again, a living art form, with Buenos Aires the epicenter of a cultural phenomenon.
The tango remains essentially a popular musical form, rooted in the visceral sense of its
dance; combining melodic, lyrical beauty with its unmistakable rhythmic drive. Heady and
passionate, sensual and meditative, melancholic and joyful, it is identifiably Argentinean
and yet, clearly, is universally accessible. The tango is as complex as its own roots and
as simple as the primal impulse for two human beings to move as one." - SALLY
POTTER - the creator of "THE TANGO LESSON", a joint
British-French-Argentine production, which was awarded the best film of the year award at
the 1997 Mar Del Plata (Argentina) International Film Festival.
