## ENGLISH VERSION
Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? đ€
Yeah. Us too.
That's exactly why this exists. đĄ
**What's happening:**
We get a group of locals, foreigners, travelers, and random interesting humans in one room. Then we play some conversation games. Simple stuff. Cards with questions. Getting people to actually talk to each other instead of standing around pretending to read the bar menu. đž
**But here's the thing:**
You don't have to be fluent. You don't need to be outgoing. You can literally show up alone, stand in a corner, and still leave with a new contact in your phone. đ±
No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup"
Just conversations.
Real ones. âš
**Who comes:**
People who moved here and don't know anyone. People who speak three languages and want to practice a fourth. Travelers killing time before their next flight. Locals curious about what's happening in their city. đ
Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene.
**The details:**
đ Sabores Puros â inside Sileo Hotel
Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta
đ Saturday \| 18:00 â 20:00
đ **Entry:** $5.000
Come solo. Leave with stories.
*Or don't. No one will notice.* đ€·

## VERSIĂN EN ESPAĂOL
ÂżAlguna vez entraste a un cuarto lleno de estranjeros y pensaste *"m·#\*da, por dĂłnde empiezo"*? đ€
SĂ. Nosotros tambiĂ©n.
Por eso existe esto. đĄ
**Qué pasa:**
Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. DespuĂ©s jugamos algunos juegos de conversaciĂłn. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sĂ en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menĂș del bar. đž
**Pero aquĂ estĂĄ lo bueno:**
No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aĂșn asĂ irte con un nuevo contacto en tu telĂ©fono. đ±
Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup"
Solo conversaciones.
Reales. âš
**Quién viene:**
Gente que se mudĂł aquĂ y no conoce a nadie. Gente que habla tres idiomas y quiere practicar un cuarto. Viajeros matando tiempo antes de su siguiente vuelo. Locales curiosos sobre quĂ© estĂĄ pasando en su ciudad. đ
BĂĄsicamente: todos los que estĂĄn hartos de la misma escena de siempre.
**Los detalles:**

đ Argentine Tango â The dancing Embraceâš
đȘđžEspañol Abajo đ
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home â yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land â through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
đč **What to expect?**
âïž Discover tango as a social language â not just a dance
âïž Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
âïž The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
âïž No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
đ **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Weâll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
đ° **How much?** 10.000$ Limited spots available âš
Please confirm your participation via WhatsApp by the afternoon before the class so I can prepare the space accordingly. Send your message to +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
đđŒââïž **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld â tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
đ **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
â **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de CafĂ© and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires â and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
âš See you on the dance floor!

ÂżTe mudaste a otro paĂs y tuviste que reinventarte?
ÂżConstruir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar â y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer?
El Tango Argentino naciĂł exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de reciĂ©n llegados encontraron conexiĂłn en una tierra desconocida â a travĂ©s de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiĂ©ndose mutuamente.
đč **ÂżQuĂ© podĂ©s esperar?**
âïž Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social â no solo como un baile
âïž Ejercicios lĂșdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexiĂłn a travĂ©s del movimiento
âïž El abrazo, la caminata y el diĂĄlogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos
âïž Sin presiĂłn ni secuencias complicadas â ÂĄbienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
đ **ÂżDĂłnde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fĂĄcil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy).
đ° **ÂżCuĂĄnto?** 10.000$ Cupos limitados âš
Si querés sumarte, confirmå tu participación por WhatsApp hasta la tarde anterior a la clase asà puedo preparar el espacio con tiempo. El numero es: +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
đđŒââïž **ÂżQuiĂ©n?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld â bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cĂĄlidos, claros y autĂ©nticos de conexiĂłn a travĂ©s de la danza.
đ **ÂżQuĂ© traer?** Ropa cĂłmoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. TambiĂ©n podĂ©s venir en medias). No necesitĂĄs venir en pareja.
â **ÂżAntes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Tienda de CafĂ© y venite con nosotras/os a la clase.
EntrĂĄ en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires â y quizĂĄs reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo.
âš ÂĄNos vemos en la pista!

Language Exchange Party â Buenos Aires
Welcome to the worst language class you'll ever take and the best party you'll find this week.
Here's how it works. You show up at the door. The music's loud, the drinks are flowing, and the dance floor's already warming up. Somewhere between the first and second Fernet, you realize you've been chatting up a stranger in three languages and you're not even sure when you switched. That's the whole point.
Bring your worst accent and your best moves.
Address: Serrano 1329, Buenos Aires, Argentina

See you at the bar. Dale, nos vemos.
