Summary: This was an amazing experience. Ester and Rafael were great hosts, and gave a lovely introduction to tango (I swear I will nail that Ocho if it kills me!). Then it was off to a Malinga, where we could see the concepts we were taught in action. It felt more like a fun evening out with friends than a paid experience. Would definitely recommend.

Summary: This was the best birthday ever! My husband and I had one day in Buenos Aires and I signed up to take this tango immersion class with Rafa. First off, communication with Rafa was wonderful and I could tell right off we were going to be in good hands. Rafa sent me info prior to our meeting date through WhatsApp and was kind to answer a few questions that I had. We had heard that certain parts of BA are dangerous so I was a little worried that we were heading out at 9pm, but we felt very safe while we waited to meet up with Rafa outside his studio. Rafa and Esther were very welcoming and patient with us…we received excellent instructions and advice on how to improve our movements and steps. My husband is just learning and I have taken a few lesson over the years while in the States. The tips that Esther and Rafa gave me are so helpful and really changed how I approach my movements (I have a long way to go). On a side note, it was my birthday the day we met and they surprised me with a cake ♥️ and birthday song!!!!! So sweet and thoughtful!!!! We practiced a little bit more and then we travelled together to a local milonga. This dance hall is a place I most certainly wouldn’t have found or have comfortably gone to on my own. There was a singer/show performance that evening which I really enjoyed and then afterwards we did get a chance to dance and test out my new tango shoes ♥️ (it wasn’t crowded and the location is more beginner friendly - which is not always the case so we were lucky to dance). I highly recommend you take this immersion tango tour. I wish we lived in BA so that I could take lessons with Rafa all the time! Keep dancing!!!

Summary: My husband and I spent a wonderful evening with Rafa and Andrea. First we spent about an hour on refining our Ocho and closing steps. We also talked about the Tango codes. Then we went to a milonga where we enjoyed some wine, further discussion about the Tango culture and observations of the local dancers. Luckily that night, there was a live orchestra performing with a singer and a dance company. We also shared about our own lives - theirs and ours. All in all, entertaining and educational.
