Ceci sometimes has to take a taxi to class after work, if she is too late for the bus.
Ceci, 20, is a tango dancer. During the day, she performs for tourists in restaurants and on the streets of the El Caminito quarter of Buenos Aires. Mostly she dances with Meme. At night, Ceci and Meme head to milongas, neighborhood dance parties throughout the city. Ceci is also a student and tries to balance her work with commitments at university.
