About this activity

Immerse yourself in Buenos Aires' most authentic tango culture by learning foundational steps from an expert instructor, then joining locals at a traditional milonga (tango dance hall) with live orchestra. This 4-hour experience goes beyond tourist performances to show you how tango is actually danced and celebrated in the city where it was born.

This tour is ideal for those who want to enter deep into the World of Tango by learning the basic concepts of this dance and experiencing a traditional Milonga.
