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. 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 our on-site tango 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.
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 stay, 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.
High standard accommodation
People choose to travel with us for the sense of close-knit community we achieve through small groups and a shared private house. You will have your own comfortable private en-suite room, as well as free access to a fully equipped shared kitchen, dining room, living room, TV room, study and patio/garden area. Our team of organisers will be living with you during your stay. Breakfast is included.
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!
More details
Eat, sleep, live tango!
The tour lasts 11 nights (12 days). Every day will start with a 1.5h group class our favourite and carefully selected 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.

There will be one guide and a helper to make our journey in the mountains safer. We have an incredible itinerary planned for you, with lunch provided. No horse-riding experience is required: our guides are there to give you full instruction and to help you for the duration of the journey. This is a truly unique experience at an extremely affordable price!

We will take you to the most remarkable sites, including the "Salinas Grandes" (a huge lake made of salt!), the spectacular "Hornocal" (or the mountain of fourteen colours), and the "Pucará de Tilcara" (an ancient archeological Incan village). You will stay in a hotel in the pretty village of Tilcara, where you can enjoy delicious local food made of corn, vegetables and meat, as well as walk around markets selling stunning handmade clothes, gifts and jewellery.
