We enjoyed the one-on-one time and learning about social tango. If you want to learn something new, book this! What a fun thing to do before going to watch a tango show later.

Tango lesson

Excellent moment in Buenos Aires with our Tango instructor Christian. Very special private lesson with a charming teacher.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your review! We´re glad that you enjoyed the tango lesson! We love introducing beginners to tango in Buenos Aires. It’s great to hear you felt confident

Joshua was an excellent Tango teacher!

Lucy_C, May 2026
We had a wonderful time. Joshua was our Tango instructor for our first lesson. He was very patient and helpful with us, showing us the basic steps to Tango. Joshua was very positive and encouraging too and we felt like we learned lots in only 1 hour! We wish we had time for more lessons but we leave BA tomorrow unfortunately. He even took videos of us so we can practise again later. Wonderful memories and we would highly recommend Joshua as a teacher.

Fun and memorable experience in Buenos Aires

Adriana_R, Apr 2026
Taking a tango class in Buenos Aires was such a fun and memorable experience, especially as it took place both on my birthday and during our honeymoon. Our instructor, Gabriela - who warmly introduced herself as Gaby - was patient, encouraging and made the lesson accessible even for us as complete beginners. She created such a relaxed and supportive atmosphere that any initial nerves quickly disappeared. We even took photos together and she kindly filmed a video of us dancing, which is such a lovely keepsake from the day. Beyond learning the steps themselves, we truly appreciated discovering more about the tango culture. There is something incredibly intimate and passionate about the dance. We left smiling, slightly more coordinated than when we arrived, and completely charmed by the experience. This was definitely not the last time we danced tango in our lives.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Adriana, thank you for your words! We´re very happy that you enjoyed our private tango lesson in Buenos Aires and we hope you keep on dancing tango back home!!

Fun! No experience required

Deborah_N, Mar 2026
What a fun class with Martin! I’ve never tried tango before and am not a dancer but he was patient and kind and made the hour go by quickly

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Debora for your kind words! Teaching tango to beginners in Buenos Aires is something we truly enjoy, especially when guests leave feeling confident.

Thank you Rita! We´re happy to know that you enjoyed our private tango lesson in Buenos Aires.

Tomaria_G, Mar 2026
Our instructor Matias, was delightful! He made the experience very fun and productive, in such a short time! Something that stood out to me the most was that I am in a same sex relationship and my partner enjoyed the lesson with me. He was very mindful to use non gendered language when discussing both of our roles in the dance, which I imagine wasn’t easy. Matias was a fun, great and very patient teacher. We had some much more fun than we expected! Thank you Matias!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Amy! And we also offer the best milonga experiences in Buenos Aires, to connect even more with the local tango

Ian_A, Mar 2026
The instructor, Martin, was very patient with us and in particular with myself who does not like dancing. He is very encouraging and explains everything clearly I would highly recommend this experience

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Ian! We´re glad that you enjoyed our private tango lesson in Palermo. As you mention, there´s no previous experience required to have fun and enjoy our lessons!

A must-do in Buenos Aires

Rose_V, Mar 2026
Taking a tango lesson in Buenos Aires - the birthplace of tango was an unforgettable experience! Our instructor, Arts, was fantastic: professional, engaging, and incredibly patient. There were three couples in our group, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident as we learned the basics. His teaching style was clear, encouraging, and fun, which made the whole experience enjoyable even for beginners like us. If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want an authentic tango experience, I highly recommend taking a lesson with Arts. It was a highlight of our trip!

Amazing Lesson

Michael_S, Mar 2026
This was a most amazing experience. Our instructor, Arts-yes Art with an s, was so awesome. He was very patient and encouraging when he helped us with the basic steps. He explained the history of Argentine tango and how it differs from ballroom tango. A very fun lesson. We were sorry that we weren't able to stay in Buenos Aires longer so we could take a few more lessons from him. We would definitely return for a lesson with him.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re so glad you enjoyed the tango class! It’s always great to introduce beginners to tango in Buenos Aires in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Emma_F, Mar 2026
Really fun experience learning Tango with a fantastic, patient and encouraging instructor. We had a great time!

A fabulous session that unlocks some of the secrets of tango

Anne_G, Feb 2026
Hugely enjoyable hour spent with our instructor, Arts. We all managed to acquire some basic steps and an understanding of social tango. Art was very patient (I constantly confused left and right) and adapted the playlist/tuition to include dancing the birthday waltz as one of our group was celebrating a birthday. The cake and sparkling candle display were much appreciated little touches that made the session feel extra special. Art is amazing!

James_K, Feb 2026
We were beginners and Marten was exceptional. Great experience. Time flew by. I wish we were in BA longer so we could have booked another lesson.

Totally worth it

Super approachable and fun class learning the basic steps of tango. Our teacher was delightful and made us feel at ease.

The real tango experience

Philip_K, Dec 2025
Friendly, authentic, fun and invigorating. As a non dancer you learn the basic steps and put them into a simple choreography. By then end of the lesson you’ve danced a tango! Brilliant. Gaby was an amazing teacher.

Tango Lesson

Aarti_G, Dec 2025
Joshua is an exceptional tango instructor—patient, clear, and genuinely inspiring. I came in feeling nervous, but he instantly made the lesson feel fun and comfortable. What I appreciated most was his attention to detail—he doesn’t just teach steps; he teaches connection, posture, musicality, and the emotion behind the dance. Highly Recommend!

The dancing class was...

Ramona_R, Nov 2025
The dancing class was really fun, we enjoyed it a lot and got a good first experience with Tango. The dancing teacher also took photos and videos of us which he wanted to send, so that we have a good souvenir. Unfortunatly we never got those.

A wonderful way to experience tango in BA

Sara_S, Nov 2025
This experience was a gift to my sister and her friends during their stay in BA. They absolutely loved the tango class and raved about the kindness, patience, and skill of their instructor, Grabriela. The company replied promptly to all inquiries and did an excellent job finding a studio as close as possible to where my sister and friends stayed. I couldn't be more satisfied by the experience from beginning to end.

Great introduction to tango! We have never danced before so it was at a good beginners pace for us and our teacher was great.

Gringo Tango in BA.

This was a great lesson for beginners in Tango. Joshua was a patient and very knowledgeable teacher. Definitely recommend.

Great Class

Lilet_N, Oct 2025
The class was wonderful. Joshua was a wonderful instructor. My Fiancée who couldn’t dance was able to dance the basic at the end of the class. Highly recommended.

This was a super fun...

Tomas_L, Oct 2025
This was a super fun experience! We had good communication with our instructor, Joshua, prior to our event to schedule a time and place to meet. Even though there was a small mishap with getting started on time, we had a lovely lesson! Even though I had some other dance experience, this was very beginner friendly for me and my partner. He met us at our level (true beginner!) and did an excellent job and walking us through basic steps and synchronizing with one another. Joshua was patient, kind, professional, and used positive reinforcement while also providing helpful feedback. We would certainly do this again and are thinking of taking classes back home!

Tango lesson in Buenos Aries

Natasha_L, Oct 2025
I had a private tango lesson with Arts and it was absolutely fantastic! He is a patient, passionate, and knowledgeable teacher who instantly makes you feel comfortable, even if you’re a beginner. His clear explanations, attention to detail, and ability to adapt the lesson to my level made the experience both fun and inspiring. I left the class feeling more confident, connected to the music, and eager to keep learning. Highly recommend Arts for anyone wanting to experience authentic Argentine tango in a warm, engaging way!
