Buenos Aires Tango Show, Dinner and Dance Lessons

During the first 45 minutes, two professional dancers provided dance lessons. The steps are simple enough so most newbies will be able to remember the steps. By the way, both professional dancers are excellent and exhibited their skills during the evening’s tango show. The dance lessons were followed by dinner, which is not memorable. The highlight of the evening is the tango show, with four pairs of dancers showing consummate skill and grace. Two singers — both great — also performed several Argentinian songs. Music for the dancers and singers were provided by an excellent band.Negatives: First, my wife and I were supposed to be picked up our hotel. We were staying in the San Telmo area, and didn’t know there is a flea market every Sunday that closes several streets, including the ones around our hotel. So 45 minutes before our scheduled pickup, the hotel front desk got a call from the driver of our pickup service asking that we walk to a meeting point several blocks away. Since we just arrived in Buenos Aires that afternoon and it is our first visit to Buenos Aires, we are unfamiliar with the area (and concerned with safety). We had a hard time finding the address provided by the driver (it’s hard to see street names and addresses in the dark, although Google maps certainly helped). Second, after the tango show, no transportation service back to the hotel was provided so my wife and I were out in an area that is unfamiliar to us. We tried getting Uber but that didn’t work, so we finally hailed a cab, again not knowing if that is safe or not.While we enjoyed the show, this review offers some caveats to those visiting Buenos Aires for the first time.

Excellent! Fun group lessons, great meal, and a spectacular show!

The tango lesson actually was quite good and fun. The dinner and show were wonderful in a beautiful restored theater. Our only complaint was that it became uncomfortably hot during the show. Also, just as an awareness for other travelers there are a significant number of marble steps to negotiate

The lesson is not really a lesson, 10 minutos for 12 people.... The meal is poor, not worth while. But the show is very good and the theatre is amazing.

The show was excellent, wonderful music and dancing.

This show was amazing. The tango dance lesson was fun. I learned some basic moves. However, it was short. The food was delicious as well. Finally, the show was entertaining. I would highly recommend this show.
