Have a complete Tango Experience by booking a private class in their home studio and then they take you to a milonga (social tango dance salon) filled with locals dancing the real tango of Buenos Aires.(No tango show style) Beginners welcome and no partner is necessary. Ruben y Cherie will teach you the basic principles of the dance and the unwritten codigos of the milonga.Ruben and Cherie teach social tango as it is danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires. They don't teach patterns or steps, but tango based on the music, embrace, connection, improvisation, sensuality, and elegance. Private lessons and group classes by request. Why take a tango class with Ruben y Cherie? They offer the unique service of personalized bilingual instruction, along with an Argentine's knowledge and decades of experience and an American's point of view. They have been teaching together since 2006, when they were Finalists in the Tango Championships of Buenos Aires. The big plus for the student is that they are a team of two experienced teachers, so there is one to dance with and one to instruct and correct. Time spent with them is fun, educational, and a window into the world of the milongas, where they are well known. Normally tourists don't ever get to know a milonguero or the world he lives in due to access and language, and with Ruben y Cherie they can. « less

Ruben y Cherie are wonderful, serious teachers whose classes are so fun and informative. They are great with beginners and with more experienced dancers. We have taken classes with them and send all our friends when they go to Buenos Aires. But we almost didn't find them in the new category of Tours as we were looking for them under... More

I took a series of private classes with Ruben and Cherie in April 2012 in their apartment. They are excellent teachers and very friendly. They taught me a lot about the social codes at the milongas -- much more than just dancing technique and steps. I had danced for a year before I arrived in BsAs and can recommend Ruben... More

This was the coolest experience of our visit to Buenos Aires. If you like authentic experiences this is certainly one to try. It's as real as it gets. We did 1 hour lesson then the milango experience with Cherie and Ruben. First Cherie speaks english so she made us comfortable the whole evening. Ruben dances like an angel and my... More

As dancers with some Argentine tango experience, we took a private lesson with Cherie and Ruben. They will make the lesson fun, and whether a rank beginner or an experienced dancer you will finish with a sense of accomplishment and some insight into the magic of the dance. You might even get "hooked" on tango as we have been. If... More

As Tango beginners, it was a pleasure to be welcomed into the home of Ruben and Cherie for our private lesson. After this , they accompanied us to a local Milonga to observe how it is really done.We braved the dance floor for a dance but were a little intimidated by how wonderful the locals danced! A must do ,... More

Simply stated Ruben & Cherie are a lovely couple, excellent teachers and the only way to experience tango in BA! When I scheduled our lesson I wasn't really sure how it would all work out and was a bit nervous about the whole thing. From the moment Cherie greeted us and we met Ruben I knew we had made the...

Well what a fabulous hour we had learning the tango. Felt very relaxed and my husband, who was reluctant to go in the first place, thoroughly enjoyed himself. Ruben & Cherie made us very welcome and were very patient. We would suggest this is a wonderful experience for anyone visiting this area and although we did visit a professional tango... More

We did not want to go to a professional tango performance and didn't have the time to take a tango lesson but we wanted to get a feel for the tango experience. Ruben and Cheri offered to take us to a Milongo and guide us through the cultural phenomenon. We were fascinated by the music, the manner in which the... More

Thank you so much for your great review! We appreciate the time and effort it takes to critique an experience after the vacation is over. And we are very glad you brought up the "pricey" factor, as it gives us a chance to explain on what we base the charges. Our prices for a private tango lesson are standard and... More

Ruben and Cherie are wonderful dancers and teachers. I am 63 years old and I have never had a dance lesson in my life. I signed up for a package of 10 classes. I liked the classes so much that after I had completed the first 10 classes, I signed up for an addition 10. They made me feel very... More
