The expression tango for tourists rises to a new level of meaning with the opening of Mansion Dandi Royal, a hotel/tango studio dedicated to teaching tourists the art of tango. Mansion Dandi Royal bills itself as a “tango residential academy.” If you’re a tango enthusiast visiting Buenos Aires and want to have the ultimate tango experience, then perhaps Mansion Dandi Royal is for you.

You check in, you put on your dancing shoes and you live and breathe tango until you check out. It’s piped into your bedroom and it’s on television. It’s taught at the in-house academy and it’s the main motif on the wallpaper. The doors are even propped open by tango shoes.

Stay for a week and you invite a whole world of trouble upon yourself. … Here is what
happened when a strait-laced English couple went to tango academy.
