In this paper we will analyze the narratives -reproduced by milongueros, tango dancers and those close to tango- which explain why tango “has made a comeback” to be a culturally legitimate and recognized practice in the city from the 80s onwards. On the basis of this process of revival of tango danced, we will address the construction of a dominant story linked to a show called “Tango Argentino”. We will explore how this story today is the subject of legitimacy and dispute, and will observe the dialogical relations established with different narratives and how they interact with historical or previous utterances. From these tango narrative constructs about past and present, we will question the confrontation of meanings around the practice of dancing in Buenos Aires. En la actualidad, el baile de tango en Buenos Aires ha cobrado un renovado valor en tanto práctica local, del mismo modo que se ha convertido en un poderoso recurso para la promoción económica y el desarrollo turístico de la ciudad. En este artículo analizamos algunas narrativas -reproducidas por milongueros, bailarines y allegados al tango- que tratan sobre cómo el tango “volvió” a ser una práctica culturalmente legítima en la ciudad a partir de la década del ‘80. Sobre la base de este proceso de resurgimiento del tango bailado, abordamos la construcción de un relato dominante vinculado a un espectáculo denominado “Tango Argentino”. Exploramos de qué modo este relato es objeto de legitimación y disputa en el presente, al tiempo que observamos las relaciones dialógicas que establece con distintas narrativas y cómo ello se encadena con enunciaciones históricas o anteriores. A partir de estas construcciones narrativas sobre el presente y el pasado del tango problematizamos los sentidos en pugna vigentes en torno a la práctica del baile en Buenos Aires.
