Absolute heartfelt recommendation for experiencing authentic tango.
Great experience! Valerie took us to 2 milongas, explained a lot to us about the local tango art, and subsequently gave us a tango lesson. Absolute recommendation from our side!

Description
Go beyond the tango show and experience Buenos Aires tango from the inside. Join Valerie, a professional tango dancer, teacher, milonga organizer and Tango journalist for an introduction to the world of Argentine social tango. She will take you to a "Milonga", where local people come to dance social tango. This is not a tango show. At a milonga, the dance floor is part of everyday porteño culture, with its own music, traditions and social codes. Valerie will help you understand what you're seeing and, if you want, how to participate yourself. Most importantly, you'll meet tango through people who actually live it. Whether you've never danced tango before or already have some experience, the focus is on curiosity, connection and having a genuinely local evening. **Come as a traveler. Leave with a glimpse into the world behind the tango shows.**

P
Great lesson
So the lesson itself was great and the teacher really knowledgeable, I was able to follow step well and the actual tango when we went I was able to keep up for the most part. She did have me meet at her place for the lesson which I’m not sure about- it felt weird being in someone’s personal space for that. And the “underground” tango was in a park- it was a more local spot than underground I guess.
