Taxi Dancers Go Pro

Last year we brought you the story of Pablo Tamburini, a Buenos Aires tango dancer who offered his services as a for-pay tango partner -- as a taxi dancer -- for $10-$15/hour to women, usually foreign, in the Argentine capital. Oh, Pablo, you had a good idea but you dreamt too small! The Observer brings us the tale of the more entrepreneurial Eduardo Amarillo, another Buenos Aires tango dancer who pimps a team of 25 tango dancers for $20-$30/hour in what he claims is the first formal taxi dancer agency in Buenos Aires. TangoTaxiDancers sports a website in four languages, price list and multi-dance discounts.

Of course, the intimacy of the tango does sometimes over-excite the paying patrons, at least enough that Amarillo feels the need to include the following disclaimer on his site:

We hope that you enjoy the intimacy of the Argentine Tango but please do not get confused and embarrass yourself or our dancers by making inappropriate advances. We are NOT an agency for Latin Lovers. Neither are we an agency for models, we cannot supply dancers based on their physical appearance.
