Modern Dance Lessons Buenos Aires Near Me

4worldlovers: Since 2007 DanceAbroad has offered an intensive dance program held in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We were the first study abroad program in Buenos Aires that was designed specifically for dancers. Today we offer excellent dance programs to provide dancers with the opportunity to study dance, learn Spanish, and to explore the rich and exciting culture of Argentina.

The DanceAbroad Argentina-Dean College collaboration offers advantages not found in simple college-level language study abroad programs. Uniting dance study with foreign language study while earning college credit is the key.

We believe that training the complete dancer extends well beyond technique classes. Toward that end, each class in the DanceAbroad curriculum complements the other classes, creating a unified experience. For instance, immediate connections fall into place between attending Spanish language classes at the University of Buenos Aires and taking dance classes in Spanish. One informs the other. Likewise, we couple tango history classroom sessions and historic site visits with the experiences of actually dancing tango in technique class and in the Milongas around the city. This integration of multiple types of learning cultivates deeper understanding and absorption.

Furthermore, entering the culture and meeting native speakers through dance reinforces language learning. Dance offers our study abroad students a comfortable and natural way to meet and interact with native speakers, often extending beyond the classroom and studio. This expands the opportunities and learning commonly associated with study abroad.

Through class experience, guest lecturers, instructor collaboration, and cultural exchange we strive to instill an intimate knowledge of dance, culture, art, and the connections among them. Ultimately our students learn to make connections by themselves between lived experience and dance technique as well as between their own cultural knowledge and the changing world around them.
