Amazing and unforgettable
This show exceeded my expectations by far. Two live musicians (piano, accordion), along with a female singer and a very talented dancing duo. They entertained us with their passion for music, alternating between solos, as well as a quintet, singing and playing while the couple danced/floated across the small floor. We sat in a semi circle with each party having a front seat and plenty of wine being generously poured. So impressed with their talent and passion for the art of tango. A must see. Worth the money for an intimate performance.
O
Authentic tango
A really enjoyable and authentic show. I loved it!
J
Expensive for an hours show.
We had a lovely time but I thought the show was expensive for an hours entertainment , also there was a lot of numbers which were just singing and no dancing which was not how the show was advertised. Traditional and professional with friendly attentive staff. An enjoyable experience while in Buenos Aires but I wouldn’t return.

Real tango show for independent travellers
This is an intimate performance with only 30 guests, so everyone is really close to the action. The quality of song, music and song was outstanding and it was a great evening out. We met the artistic director and one of the dancers and learnt a little of their background. No tour groups, everyone enjoyed themselves.
G
Bad experience
This show is a no go. Sound is realy terrible and load like in a disco. You do not understand anything from tango performers. Dancers not bad but no passionate intense or emotional atmosphere. If you don't sit in the first row you have an obstructed view to the stage. Big colum in front of the stage. Positive service with wine, water and sandwiches.
C
Really nice but not great
Nice experience in a small intimate place. Super talented dancers and musicians. The older man who band the show together must have been skilled once. The owner of the place sang a single song and it sounded excellent

N
A small intimate experience.
A very intimate experience. A small audience where you all get a perfect view, sitting at tables with a glass of wine. All the performers were amazing.
B
Excellent show!
We saw an amazing show! It was so intimate and personal. Only maybe 30 people in the audience! Great experience!
