It takes two to tango, and Wednesday night in Buenos Aires, President Obama showed off his moves during an official state dinner.

Obama's trip is about more than just doing the tango. He said he would declassify U.S. military and intelligence records from 40 years ago, when as many as 30,000 Argentinians were killed or disappeared after the country's military coup, and participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral.
