Amazing Tango lesson! I recommend to everyone to do it! We had so much fun with my wife learning the basics of tango!
Carla is the best teacher! We learned all the basic steps easily in just one session and now we are ready to advance.
The tango class was amazing! The instructor guided us with a lot of patience, kindness and attention to our individual skills. It was the perfect activity in Buenos Aires - I cannot recommend it more!

Thank you Zofia for joining us for a private tango lesson in Buenos Aires! It was a pleasure to introduce you to Argentine tango and share some of the culture and traditions that make Buenos Aires so special. We’re happy you had fun learning together, and we hope you take some of those tango steps home with you!
Absolutely incredible experience. Should have done this much sooner on our trip. We would have totally gone back for more lessons.
Probably the best experience we had in Argentina!

Thank you for joining us for a private one-hour tango class in Buenos Aires! We’re glad you enjoyed this introduction to Argentine tango.
This private tango class with Arts K. was the first time I truly touched and felt tango. I told myself, if you’re in Buenos Aires, you have to experience tango, not just watch it. I wanted to understand what was behind the music, the movements, and the connection between two people.
While learning my first steps, Arts was also sharing the history of tango and its music. I quickly realized tango isn’t only about remembering steps. It’s about trusting your partner enough to dance backwards without seeing where you’re going, listening with your body, and allowing yourself to be completely in the moment. Somehow, it pulls you in from the inside.
After our one-hour private lesson, Arts introduced me to the world of milongas and explained how tango nights work. And that’s when another adventure began. Experiencing a milonga among other couples and later watching tango championships up close gave me a completely different appreciation for this art.
As a woman, what fascinated me most was discovering how expressive the body can become in tango. Sometimes the movement feels like a ribbon caught by the wind, flowing freely one moment, then wrapping around and holding on with strength the next. There is softness, trust, strength, elegance, and freedom all happening at once. You’re not simply dancing. For those few minutes, two people are creating a piece of art together.
And what made this experience even more special was that it happened on my birthday. I don’t think anyone could have given me a better gift. I came to Buenos Aires wanting to experience tango once, but I’m leaving wanting to carry a little piece of it with me.
Thank you, Arts K., for opening the door to this beautiful world. You didn’t just teach me my first tango steps. You gave me a birthday memory I’ll never forget.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your private tango lesson and connected with Arts and with tango. We hope you enjoyed your time dancing in Buenos Aires! Abrazo!!!!
What a WONDERFUL experience!! In one short hour, Veronica Rue somehow managed to teach my son and me (with 2 left feet!) how to do the 8 steps!! I was so sad we didn’t have more time, as she made me fall in love with tango. She was so inspiring, intuitive, observant, patient, and warm with her instruction that even though I had no cash on me, I went out of my way to find a way to send her a much-deserved gratuity. HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone to ask for her by name when booking this experience! Muchissimas gracias, Veronica!!

Thank you for joining Veronica for the private tango lesson! Experiencing tango in Buenos Aires is something truly unique, and we’re glad you enjoyed it.
I had an incredible dance lesson with Arts. Not only did we have lots of time to practice steps at a very helpful pace but I also learnt a lot about the music from him and he very kindly sent a playlist too. If I find myself lucky enough to be in Buenos Aires again, I will 100% be coming back for another lesson. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

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
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.

Thank you very much for joining our private tango class Buenos Aires for beginners, and we hope that you can join us for our intermediate or advance classes next time you are in Buenos Aires! Abrazo.
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.

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

So happy you had a great time! Sharing authentic tango in Buenos Aires with travelers from around the world is what we’re all about.
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.

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

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!
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!
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.

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.
Really fun experience learning Tango with a fantastic, patient and encouraging instructor. We had a great time!
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!
This was a great experience for us. We booked three lessons and got Martin as our pacient tango-master. The best part of our Buenos Aires visit! Recommend this for everyone👍
Great lesson with a patient instructor in a convenient location and convenient timing. It was nice to practice on our own as we learned.
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.
Our instructor was very nice. He spoke understandable English, adjusted the lesson to our level of dance training and made the whole experience fun and informative. Totally worth it!
Celeste was our instructor and she was amazing! I feel like my fiance and I learned a lot in one hour. The studio they picked for us was also very cool in an old bohemian-looking building. Definitely recommend!
Super approachable and fun class learning the basic steps of tango. Our teacher was delightful and made us feel at ease.
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.
The class is perfect for beginners! Great teacher and we were able to leave the class with a lot of steps to practice
