Tango dancers had solid skills, fun to watch, relaxed dance hall.

Salon Canning can be a bit crowded with a lot of tourist dancers, that have no idea how to follow the line of dance, and dance in a small space in time to the music. But for those that actually do learn how to dance that way, it can be a very satisfying experience at a certain level. And on... More

My wife and I decided to be daring, to see how the locals tango. Salon Canning was perfect. Our hotel (Magnolia nearby) reserved a table, we arrived at 11:00pm, 20-30 couples were dancing continually until the special dancers and singer started at about 2:30pm. We left after 3:00pm and things were still hopping. Roberto and Mariana were so nice to... More

We did not go to dance - we went to watch - and unlike the "night club" feel of so many milonga halls - this one really feels like an old fashioned place with many older people, as well as young - all types - from tourists, to experts and professionals, to locals who all know each other - a...

A good place to meet and dance with locals in Buenos Aires. That said, it can be insanely crowded on the dance floor, and this place does prove that being from BA does not automatically mean that you can dance on a crowded floor without slamming into people right and left. Midnight on a Saturday? It's two in one: it's... More

Salon Canning is not very user friendly, and definitely not recommended for its Tango classes. It appears to have become too important. The instructors are very haughty and seem annoyed that they have to "teach". The arrogance seems to infect many of the regular crowd. Not all great dancers make great teachers, and that is particularly true at the Salon... More

I spent New Year's Eve at Canning and loved it. We arrived about 1 a.m. and were able to park nearby. It was a good thing to have a table reserved, as it was crowded. The floor is beautiful. I danced with men from Bs. As, from the U.S. and from England. The floor was crowded, but...that is tango! I'm... More

Reading the two reviews, my experience would indicate something right down the middle. The emphasis is definitely on the dancing and the watching of dancing. There is a modest snack and drink menu, but few waiters and you have to work at it to get their attention if you want it. I didn't see any loud conversations, mostly quiet groups... More

I don't agree with the review above, Salon Canning is very friendly to visitors, if you want to join in the dancing or just sit at a table in the back and watch... And re the talking load, all the locals were yelling their heads off over the tango music so not sure what that comment was about?? Be warned... More
