We loved this activity hosted by the charming Melina. She brought us to a Melinga where we experienced our first lesson in Tango. Later she sat with us throughout the Tango social and explained to us the history of Tango along with the history of immigrants in Argentina. She is a professional Tango dancer & her in depth understanding of the dance form made our evening so memorable. She didn’t rush us to go back and waited patiently with us till we wanted to leave. She also helped us with ordering food & ensured that we are very well taken care of. I would highly recommend booking this activity if you would like experience Tango as a true local! Thank you Melina…you are a delightful hostess!!!

A truly great experience for everyone that wants to get a taste of Tango and visit a traditional milonga. Martin is probably one of the first guides that we have had in South America that actually has a passion for what he does and have a great personality and good to have around with plenty of history and explanations throughout the evening. Well recommended!

Experience

  • Take a shared dancing lesson with an expert tutor
  • Learn the codes, history and characteristics of tango from an expert

Full description

Milongas are local neighborhood clubs, open 365 days a year, where the Porteños (Buenos Aires locals) gather together to dance tango. Each milonga has its own characteristics which makes it unique. From the more traditional, with strict rules and codes, to the more relaxed or “underground” clubs that bring together people of all ages. Experience a night of real tango with local people. Your guide will pick you up at your hotel to go to a milonga, where you'll join a shared dancing lesson with an expert to learn the basics of tango. The guide will also explain the history, codes and characteristics of tango so that you can better understand its dynamics and interact with the locals. After that you'll be able to practice what you learned, mixed with the Porteños. You'll enjoy the vibe of the music while you dance, or simply watch the Porteños. Once it's over, the guide will take you back to your hotel with the certainty that it will be a night you'll remember forever.
