Buenos Aires… Mix together a fantastic European heritage, wine and steak elevated to art, fantastic shopping, a frenzied nightlife, and you get Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan capital which looks somehow strangely familiar, but is unlike any other place on earth. If you already dance tango, chances are, you’ll associate the city with dramatic pictures of tango competitions, intimate nights out at local milongas, and much more.
To help you experience everything Buenos Aires can offer, we’ve packed a lot of activities in our 13-day August trip: tango tuition (lots), milongas (only the best), time to wander around the city, a meal at a peña restaurant and even a day trip out of Bs As (to give your feet a well-deserved rest from the dancefloor). Have a look at some of the pictures we took last year.
PLEASE NOTE: if you cannot join us for 13 days, you can join us for a shortened, 8-days, 7-night holiday instead. Please click HERE for the full schedule and costs.
1. World class Tango tuition
Our programme includes, of couse, tango (or, should we say, a lot of tango) with world class instructors including the Tango Salón World Champions 2008 Cristina Sosa & Daniel Nacucchio, as well as the internationally renowned Lorena Ermocida and her partner Pancho. We’ll also welcome the world reknown Lorena Ermocida and Pancho, as well as BA met champions Jimena Hoeffner and Fernando Carrasco.
The package also includes tuition for 4 additional group classes to be taken at one of the most reputable tango academies in Buenos Aires. Whether you want to improve your milonga, your enrosques, you’ll find many classes every day, all day long to achieve your objectives.

PLEASE NOTE: our trip is appropriate to all levels of dancing, from beginners to advanced – we will adapt to each individual tango experience.
2. A LOT of Milonga evenings!
A trip to Buenos Aires would not be complete without going to local milongas. There are so many milongas in town, that the Argentines have invented the word ‘milonguear’, which means ‘touring milongas’! You surely want to know what a ‘cabeceo’, the traditional invite, feels like for yourself…
This is why we planned quite a few evenings out at some of the most famous milongas in the capital! Our programme includes Salon Canning, Fruto Dulce, La Baldosa, Sunderland… for unforgettable memories.

3. VIP tickets to the Tango world championship finals!
In August, the most extravagant and famous tango event in the world takes place in Buenos Aires: the World Tango Championship (the Festival y Mundial de Baile), during which couples from all over the world compete for the Champions title in the Tango Salon and Tango Escenario categories. Your holidays includes VIP tickets to see both finals.

4. Discover Buenos Aires and beyond
Once your tango feet shout ‘Stop!’, you will most likely want to venture beyond the tango halls. For this reason, we’re organising a visit of the most charming barrios of Buenos Aires (La Boca, and Recolleta), as well as an afternoon at the lively San Telmo market, an amazing open air event filled with Arts and Antiques, a bohemian charm.
To get a respite from Buenos Aires, we’ll leave the capital to visit San Antonio de Areco, a charming town in the pampa.
5. Accommodation in high standard flats
We will stay in high standard studio flats in the amazing barrio of Palermo, filled with trendy bars and restaurants. Your flat is equiped with a full kitchen – a great way to save on eating out if you decide to prepare your own food!
Note: studio flats are booked on double occupancy basis (double bed or twin beds). You can ask for single occupancy (extra charges apply).
