Dancing [Boca]

[Boca] - the birthplace of Argentine tango, located in the coastal area of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. It was once an old port, now abandoned, but has become a popular check-in spot. In the mid-19th century, many European immigrants came here to settle down. They were so poor that they built houses with old iron sheets from the ships and painted them with bright colors using leftover paint. This is how the colorful houses of Boca District came to be. Missing their hometown, they often gathered at the port, gazing at their hometown from the sea, drinking and dancing to express their homesickness, from tenderness to excitement, and this is how the tango dance came to be!
