Buenos Aires
Join us on our yearly "pilgrimage" to the birthplace of Tango. A visit to Buenos Aires is on every dancer's bucket list, and here's why: the city is bursting with inspiration. We come back transformed.
A 2-week trip to the other side of the world can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are going for the first time. Our aim is to introduce you to the best milongas, teachers, classes and activities the city has to offer in order to make your time worthwhile. We will share with you our knowledge, tips and tricks for navigating the bustle of this busy city. This way you will get the best possible experience and find the confidence to travel alone!
What's included?
Intensive Tango training
You will receive daily group tuition by our favourite selected teachers in a local dance studio. Our small-group format means you will have ample time to ask questions, request topics and receive personalised feedback from the Maestros. We hire experienced dancers to dance with you in the class so that you always have a dance partner to learn with.
Nightly Milongas
With over 30 milongas to choose from per night, the best way to explore the BA night life is to travel with experienced dancers. We will take you to the very best places in town including the hidden "gems" of the city, while accommodating your own choices and preferences. Our team of dancers will accompany us so that you will never be short of great tandas!
Quality accommodation
You will have your own private apartment in Palermo, a quiet and well-connected district of Buenos Aires. Each apartment comes with it's own little kitchenette, dining area, sofa, bedroom, bathroom and balcony. There is a rooftop swimming pool that can be used in the summer months.
A team of dancers
Our team of friendly, professional and semi-professional dancers is here to help. Local to Buenos Aires, they are here for you during classes for additional support, and to make sure that no one is left without a partner. They organise free, optional folklore dance lessons (zamba and chacarera) and accompany us to milongas and some outings. We are lucky to have them!
Guided city tours
To dance Tango is to dance culture and experiences. We will take you round the most important landmarks of the city, and you will also receive a professional guided of some of the iconic areas for Tango. We will go for coffee in the traditional cafes where the most beautiful tango lyrics were born, and will visit the best places to buy shoes, clothes and tailored suits.
Support and advice
Our team of organisers is here for you. From assistance booking your flights and planning your trip, to practical day-to-day guidance and advice, our job is to ensure you feel safe and fully equipped to navigate the bustle of the city. Do not hesitate to get in touch at any point if you have questions, concerns or simply want a chat.
“The person that doesn't know Buenos Aires doesn't know the Tango.”
~ Juan Carlos Copez
Eat, sleep, live tango.
The tour lasts 13 nights (14 days). Every day will start with a 1.5h group class with different Maestros. There will be activities in the afternoons (optional) such as shopping tours, visits to important landmarks, markets, cafes and museums. Some afternoons are left free for you to explore by yourselves, or wind down!
In the evenings, we will take you to one, two, or three milongas in a row (depending on how the night goes... of course, this is all optional!). As our group is small, we will reserve the best tables in milongas so you will get plenty of cabaceos! We will join occasional pre-milonga group classes.
We also organise optional evening trips to the theatre depending on what is showing at the time.
Accommodation
You will stay in a luxurious hotel in Palermo, one of the nicest districts of Buenos Aires and a great place to settle for two weeks. From greengrocers and supermarkets to restaurants and cafes, it is walking distance away from everything you need.
The tube station is a 3 minute walk away and the dance studio is a 5 minute walk away.
You will have your own private apartment, a bright and spacious studio flat with a balcony and kitchenette. In the summer months, you can enjoy the rooftop swimming pool.
