Corner of Riobamba and Av. Corrientes

 

If you come to dance in Buenos Aires, then you have entered this building on the first floor.  The milonga was known as Regin before it became known as El Beso.  I came across an old photo taken in August 2014.  How different it is today.  The linen store closed on the ground floor and the space was empty for at least a year.  Recently the space was transformed into a dance studio rented the business owners of El Beso.   The only way one knows there is a milonga upstairs on the first floor is finding the entrance door.

This was the entrance door of Regin in 1999.  The door had to be widened to comply with building codes for public venues.
