La Ideal A 30s style cafe that was immortalised in Sally Potter's "The Tango Lesson", La Ideal in Suipacha, Buenos Aires, is a piece of tango history that lives on. Walking up the stairs you step back in time and, as you step into the dance hall, 60 or 70 years have rolled away. Its brown half-panelled walls blend with the smoke-cured creams and beiges of the pillars and ceiling. Chandeliers and fans add to the ambience. |

| Small,
single tables at each end of the room are
occupied by single dancers; male at one end,
female at the other - each watching attentively
for signs of interest. She looks good, but can
she dance? He dances well, but are his leads from
the "old school"? Ah, she is dancing
now, and well; I'll wait until the tanda ends and
catch her eye. They should finish over there; I'll be there ready. Here she comes. Has she noticed? Yes. Let's dance! And so another tanda begins in the Confiteria Ideal. |
