What's included?
Intensive Tango training
You will receive daily group tuition by Neri Piliù and Yanina Quiñones in a local studio, with afternoon workshops with Dante and Lilie every other day. Our small-group format means you will have ample time to ask questions, request topics and receive personalised feedback. We also invite experienced dancers to dance with you in the class so that you always have a dance partner to learn with.
Guided city tours
To dance Tango is to dance culture and experiences. We will take you round the most important landmarks of the city, and you will also receive a professional guided of some of the iconic areas for Tango. We will go for coffee in the traditional cafes where the most beautiful tango lyrics were born, and will visit the best places to buy shoes, clothes and tailored suits.
New Year's Party
Celebrate the New Year with the right people, in the right place. This year, Neri and Yanina are inviting you to an exclusive party in their own home. You will have the opportunity to meet our friends and colleagues, make connections and feel fully immersed in the tango lifestyle! Of course, this will be followed by a festive late night milonga.
