Catalina was absolutely amazing, built up the tango in really nice steps and adapted to our level. Very friendly, had a lovely chat with her after and got lots of great trips. Would highly recommend
Amazing and not to be missed experience!

This was an extraordinary experience. Catalina is a great tango teacher, put us at ease immediately, and made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Neither my husband nor I are dancers, but I really wanted to learn to dance the tango. At the end of the beautiful, memorable lesson, we were dancing well enough to continue dancing at home or even in the center of the dance floor of a milonga. Catalina served us wine and empanadas afterwards, and we spent a happy half hour learning more about Argentina from her. What a delightful, amazing experience! Thank you, Catalina, for the lesson , patience, fun attitude, and the videos you took of us! We’d love to come back and see you again😀
The best!

Teacher was the best! She also had a lot of information about Buenos Aires. Things to see and things to do. We all were very impressed by her!
An excellent afternoon in Buenos Aires!

This was a brilliant experience. My family and I loved the time we spent with Catalina. She is an excellent teacher who made us so comfortable and taught us some basic tango steps. She is so friendly and personable that she put our nerves at ease straight away. She also took pictures and videos and text them to us so we had the memories to look back on. Drinking wine, sharing empanadas and getting to know each other after was so nice. I would highly recommend this experience!
Disappointing bit of Argentina
Haiying_L, Feb 2024
The tutor was 20 mins late and the lesson didn’t quite come together in the end, for the price we paid it’s a very disappointing experience
So fun!

We had so much fun! Catalina is a great teacher. We really enjoyed the empanadas and wine at the end of class, because we got to hangout with Catalina and the other couples. Definitely would recommend!

This was a great experience! The dance studio was beautiful and wine/food/conversation was excellent. Catalina was super patient teacher haha made the experience fun and very memorable. She is a great teacher with obvious passion for tango. She taught us basics, nothing too complicated, it was easy to grasp. We were even comfortable to go to tango dance the next day and try out our newly acquired skills in public!
Personalized Tango Lesson and Cultural Immersion

Yesterday evening, my parents and I attended this tango lesson, empanadas and wine tasting with our lovely host Cata. We had just come on an 11 hour journey from the states and were super jet lagged. We were surprised to find out that we were going to be a smaller group and the only attendees of the dance lesson. It was perfect—almost like a private dance lesson! Cata was extremely personable and easy-going. She made us very comfortable. The studio is in a cultural center. You have to go up a number of stairs. At first the room was quite warm but slowly cooled off. The empanadas were warm and delicious and the wine was strong and tasty. We really appreciated the small intimate setting for Cata to teach us the tango basics and also learn more about the local heritage, culture and history of the great city of Buenos Aires. I would advise bringing some bottled water—especially if in the January-March months. Overall, a personable, fun, friendly and very memorable time had. We will remember this for a very long time!
Great Time

Catalina was phenomenal! She gave us wine and empanadas, got everyone dancing and made it easy and fun. She is a superb teacher. She was also very knowledgeable about Argentina history and current events. This was the highlight of our trip to Buenos Aires!
Loved it!

This was really fun! We learned the basics of tango in a cute little studio. Don’t overthink your clothes and shoes. Tennis shoes and street clothes are just fine. The wine tasting was really sharing a glass of wine with the other students and the teachers so it was fun to get to know people from other parts of the world.
Enjoyable and eye-opening.

Catarina was a very good teacher, really took the time to go through the basics and seperate the myths of the tango shows and other facets of popular culture from the reality. After the lesson we also enjoyed the discussion about Buenos Aires and Argentina, and the various tips she gave us.

Excellent Introduction to Buenos Aires!!
Dawn_E, Dec 2023
It was a very fun way to begin our stay in Buenos Aires! Catalina was a wonderful instructor who patiently taught our group of eight the basics of the tango. The empanadas were excellent as was the wine. Cata gave us some great tips on places to go and things to see and reserved a table for us at a tango show. I would highly recommend this experience!
