I highly recommend.Highly recommend spending an evening with Rafael. You get a chance to get more intimate with tango by learning it and visiting a milongo.

Simply amazing! I had nothing to wear, so Nicole sent me to a local boutique that specializes in ladies tango clothing. Outfit secured, my teen daughter & I then received personalized, private lessons from two incredibly gracious pros, Nicole and her partner, Mateas. They quickly had us doing the basics, and then it was off on a short cab ride to a newer local hotspot milonga that a non-local would NEVER find on their own. One of the preeminent elders in Argentine tango made a surprise appearance! We had great conversation in both English & Spanish and learned much about the tango culture as well as about our hosts. Nicole is a kind, cultured, highly knowledgeable expert who teaches in a way that’s easy for newbies to grasp. I would absolutely recommend this experience for a real insider look at the world of Argentine tango.We had the most amazing experience with Jamilla, Rafael and Roccio. Jamilla arranged four days of tango lessons and milongas, and as a bonus we were lucky enough to even see the semi finals of the city’s tango competition which Rafael and Roccio competed in.

We had the most amazing experience with Jamilla, Rafael and Roccio. Jamilla arranged four days of tango lessons and milongas, and as a bonus we were lucky enough to even see the semi finals of the city’s tango competition which Rafael and Roccio competed in. We traveled as a group of three generations (ranging from 20-76) and Jamilla was able to accommodate all of our needs. We began our experience by learning tango in a studio and then Rafael, Roccio and Jamilla took us to a variety of tango clubs. At the clubs we were able to try out our skills and use Jamilla’s service of masquerade dancers. We had the most considerate and amazing teachers in the context of the clubs and were integrated into the tango scene. Not only could we see ourselves progress, but we caught the tango bug. It was such a unique way of experiencing Buenos Aires. If you really want to get to know Argentinian tango culture, Jamilla is the person to contact. We guarantee you will not be disappointed.I’ve been living in BA over 2 years and the only exposure I had to tango were the random street dancers in La Boca or near Recoleta cemetery.

I’ve been living in BA over 2 years and the only exposure I had to tango were the random street dancers in La Boca or near Recoleta cemetery. I recently heard about these “milongas” so was curious about attending one. Being that my Spanish is limited (blame it on the pandemic), I was reluctant to venture out to a milonga on my own. Jamila took the mystery out of it by providing a fun and welcoming experience. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the art and history of tango and broke down all the rules for our group. We even got a lesson on dancing before the ‘real’ dancers arrived, which was an absolute treat! Although I didn’t dare venture out and actually dance once the crowd picked up, just being there and watching/studying all the experienced dancers was so mesmerizing—felt like I could watch them all night. Jamila has definitely sparked my interest to further pursue some additional training. No doubt this has been one of my favorite experiences in BA yet!If you want to have an authentic tango experience while you're in Buenos Aires, I recommend you forego the tourist spectacles and go with this experience.

If you want to have an authentic tango experience while you're in Buenos Aires, I recommend you forego the tourist spectacles and go with this experience. I was in Buenos Aires with two of my (university) students, because I wanted them to not just watch people dance tango but learn about the dance itself and have a richer, cultural experience. We were not disappointed! Rafael (a professional tango dancer from Venezuela) met us at 10pm for a one-hour lesson, which included the basic steps and instructions for how to move, where to place your hands, how to lead etc. Then we took an Uber to Maldita Milonga, one of the best places to watch locals dance tango. On Wednesday evenings there is a live orchestra, which was amazing, and then we got to watch the tango dancers. I even got to try out my newly learned moves myself, which was fun! Rafael was an amazing teacher and guide, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for the real deal, not just a tourist attraction.
