CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Dance & Culture in Buenos Aires

Twirl through Buenos Aires’ rich dance scene as you explore foundational dance techniques, culminating in final choreography inspired by South America.

In Argentina, dance is more than a performance; it’s an expression of nostalgia, melancholy and love. As the birthplace of Tango, Buenos Aires is home to some of the most prestigious dance institutions in Latin America. With fellow Global Navigators, collaborate to craft an original dance piece that reflects lessons in and beyond the studio.

Train five to six hours daily in Tango, Argentine folk dance, ballet, and contemporary dance. Dive into workshops led by local instructors covering choreography and dance history. Immerse in traditional Argentine forms and explore how movement and culture intertwine.

Connect with local teens on visits to street markets and plazas that come alive with music and dance. On excursions, journey to a traditional estancia (ranch) to experience gaucho (cowboy) life and travel north to witness the beauty of Iguazú Falls. Your time in Buenos Aires will blend intensive dance training and cultural immersion set to the rhythm of Argentina’s artistic soul.
