Suitable for intermediate dancers and accessible to advanced beginners. With professional dancers as your partners you'll be amazed at how quickly you improve!

It is recommended that you at least have experience executing basic tango figures such as walking to the cross, ochos, and giros, and already dance at milongas.

If you are not sure whether the level will be appropriate for you please contact me to discuss.

"I tried to contain my expectations regarding my second retreat with Veronika because the first retreat was so perfect and over the top amazing. The trip was once again unique and specialized. I got to feel like a local instead of a tourist including cheering Argentina on for the World Cup!"

"I got so much more than I ever thought I'd get out of a trip to Buenos Aires!"

Our taxi dancers

Professional dancers who are there to facilitate your learning!

Highly skilled professionals from the Buenos Aires tango community, carefully selected by Veronika, to partner you in the workshops and join us for some of our milonga outings.

Taxi dancers are available for both men and women joining the retreat. They give feedback when requested and are also available for additional private lessons or practice sessions.

Our team is selected not just for their skill but for the patience, openness, and the kindness they exhibit when working with retreat participants.

"These dancers made me beyond happy! Having immediate and ongoing feedback was soooo helpful!

They were all so gracious and never made me feel like it was "work" to be there dancing with us. I hope they know how very, very special their kindness and consideration felt, and helped make this journey exceed all my expectations!!"

Asado and Q&A Session

Traditional Argentine BBQ plus a chance to talk tango with our teachers!

Ever wanted to pick the brain of the teachers, beyond the class setting? This is your chance! Ask anything you're curious about during a one hour Q&A session, followed by a traditional Argentine BBQ, served up by the resident "asador" of our retreat guest house. Vegetarian and vegan options will be available upon request. If weather permits we'll do this on the rooftop terrace!

"This retreat fed my SOUL!!!"

Venue

The retreat venue is a boutique tango guest house, called La Maleva.

Owned by a tango dancer and managed by a friendly and helpful staff, La Maleva is a gorgeously remodeled historical home, conveniently located in the Almagro neighborhood, close to many milongas and cute cafes.

The house includes comfortable and modern bedrooms, a shared and well equipped kitchen, spacious living room, rooftop terrace and a dance studio which guests can use to book additional private lessons or practice sessions and attend additional events and classes hosted there. All bedrooms have a safety deposit box and air conditioning.

La Maleva can provide taxi service from the Buenos Aires EZEIZA airport, and breakfast upon request.

We will have the entire house reserved for our group. Each room is unique and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Room rates range from $40-$90/Night.

There are 2 rooms that are initially reserved for double occupancy and will be given up for single occupancy if not booked by November 4, 2025. Those rooms are The Di Sarli and the Juan D'Arienzo.

Go to La Maleva's website to see details and photos of each room >>

Training and Experience

Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)

Do I have to have prior yoga experience to participate?

No. The yoga classes will be suitable for a variety of bodies with options for newbies and experienced practitioners alike.

Do I have to have prior tango experience to participate?

Yes. This retreat is geared towards dancers who have taken tango classes before and have experience attending practicas and/or milongas. If you are newer to tango and want to join this retreat I highly recommend you take more classes prior to the trip and attend as many milongas or practicas as possible. You can also come early and take some private lessons!

Can I skip the yoga and come just for the tango?

Yes. All activities on this trip are optional. However, there are many other tango retreats that don't include yoga and one of the unique aspects of this one is to bring yoga & tango lovers together in an environment where we can explore both these practices.

Will there be time to book private lessons?

Yes. There will be ample time throughout the retreat to schedule private lessons or other activities that are not on the itinerary.

How much do things cost in Argentina?

The exchange rate fluctuates but always in the favor of the US Dollar, so things will certainly be cheaper in Buenos Aires than they are in the US or Europe. I will keep everyone updated on the latest rates before the trip, but to give you an idea, dinner at an average restaurant will cost around $30USD, milonga entrance around $4, taxi to a milonga around $2-5, coffee around $2.

Can I come earlier or stay longer?

Yes! If you have the option to do this I highly recommend it. In the past participants have found it nice to arrive at least a day earlier to settle in, rest, and get familiar with their surroundings or purchase tango shoes or anything else needed at the start of the trip. Staying longer after the retreat is also a great option because the retreat will give you a great introduction to how things work in Buenos Aires and the tango scene here so that you will feel comfortable continuing on your own after.

Am I too young/old to join?

No. All ages are welcome to join. In the past, we've had a wide range of ages and backgrounds. I take great care in creating an ambiance in which everyone feels welcome. Milongas in Buenos Aires have a lot of diversity in age. There are milongas that are friendly to all ages and others that tend to veer in one direction or the other. If you are looking for a particular type of experience, the benefit of joining this trip is that you will have my guidance in which milonga to choose based on your needs, or you can join the milonga outings with the rest of the group.

Will I get asked to dance at the milongas in Buenos Aires?

There are a lot of factors that determine this such as how well you cabaceo, the type of milonga you go to, how friendly you appear, whom you are looking at, etc. In our initial welcome meeting, I will give you a detailed insight into how to ensure that you're not sitting out during your time on this trip. For several of our milonga outings, we will also have our team of taxi dancers join us specifically to dance with you!

Do I have to sign up with a partner?

No. You do not need to sign up with a partner because we will have you partner our team of professional dancers from Buenos Aires.

Is Wifi available at the retreat venue?

Yes. Wifi is free and reliable at La Maleva. Most restaurants and milongas around the city also have free and mostly reliable Wifi.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask!

"It was so unique and I'm so glad I was a part of this trip!"

"This retreat was over the top fantastic and wonderful! I was 100% happy with my decision to do this after the second day, and only got happier each day following. You have set a high bar. I can't imagine going to Buenos Aires without Veronika!

"Veronika created a fabulous retreat! There was enough structure for good learning and practice along with a lot of flexibility. Veronika was with us every step of the way for classes, milongas, shopping and eating, though we also had as much freedom as we wanted. Her retreats are a perfect way to become familiar with tango in Buenos Aries. Highly recommend!"

"The retreat is in no small part a success because of YOU. It is one thing to be able to organize a trip for a small group of folks with recommendations and instructors and assistants. That's a huge feat. What makes it REALLY special though is you- your bubbly personality, your laugh, your advice giving, your generosity, your whole investment of self. I really felt comfortable asking you about anything and loved every minute you gave us of your time. Very well done, my friend!!"

"The retreat was well organized, as all the details were thought out and there was a great balance of the events. I liked the progression of classes we had every day. It was super helpful to have professional dancers as our partners, and their feedback was valuable. All the teachers were amazing and engaged, which facilitated the learning process. I also appreciate that it was a small group of us, as the retreat had a cozy atmosphere. Above all, I felt that you care about each participant (students, teachers, dancers) and that you put your heart into creating this unforgettable experience. It was such a joy to join you on this journey of immersing into the world of tango and Argentine culture!:-)"
