"Experience Argentina" - the Group Tour from 16. to 30.04.2011
Tango, yoga and enjoying life in Buenos Aires with experienced tourguide!
Incl. Excursion to the Iguazu waterfalls at the Brazilian border
To dance the tango at its birthplace is already enough of a reason to treat yourself to such a trip. Practicing tango for two weeks with exceptional Argentine teachers in a relaxed atmosphere is definitely another reason. The Tango-Oasis, located in the middle of the city, was specially selected by us and offers the best environment for dance and lodging. Yoga and relaxation exercises, in connection with dance, help develop awareness of yourself and your partner. You can also come alone and dance with different partners at your level during the lesson. You'll definitely get to know something about life in Buenos Aires - and beyond in a three-day excursion to the Iguazu waterfalls!
Tango is the main focus of this trip and tango is more than just a sensuous dance. Learning to dance the tango means more than perfectly mastering a particular number of step sequences and "adornos"...To dance the tango with feeling is an intense dance experience and an all-embracing enrichment for your life.
We will live and dance together for these two weeks in a special guesthouse, whose reason for being is the tango. Tangueros are coming and going and the atmosphere itself is tango.
Our day begins with yoga and the focus lies on the flexibility and suppleness of body and mind necessary for dancing. This training helps you to become anchored in your own axis. After that we enjoy breakfast together.
The tango lessons are offered daily with different teachers within the guesthouse and take place mostly in the evenings. In addition, you will dance at one of the city's renowned tango schools, according to your level. Here, you have the choice between a classical or modern school.
On four afternoons, you have the chance to become more conscious of your body through relaxation training. At the same time, you will discover elements that will not only help you with dancing but also with your everyday life.
The daily schedule is varied and multifaceted. There is enough time outside of the lessons to tour around the city, alone or in a small group - and there is definitely a lot to discover! We can also gladly give you some tips for special wishes or interests.
Buenos Aires offers a variety of opportunities to go dancing. The spectrum includes traditional locations, cultural centers and underground venues in old factories. The dance event itself is called "milonga", like the type of tango music. You'll get to know a few of these "milongas"...
Included in this group tour is a meeting on one of the first evenings with a tango scout, who will tell us about the current tango scene and answer questions about tango in Buenos aires. In the second week, part of the programm will be to enjoy a typical asado, an Argentine mixed-grill with lots of meat, fish and vegetables.
The basic program of this trip goes until Wednesday, April 27th. After that, you have the option of doing an excursion to the Iguazu waterfalls at the Brazilian border. You would stay one extra night in the guest house in Buenos Aires and fly to Iguazu on Thursday and stay until Sunday. You can find information about this part of the trip here. Alternately, you can stay in the guest house in Buenos Aires and continue to explore the city and tango, alone or with others from the group. Both options are worthwhile...

Please read the following carefully, since it contains additional information on the trip:
- Neither previous dance experience nor a partner is a prerequisite for participation.
- The number of rooms at the tango guesthouse is limited. If you are arriving earlier, or if you would like to stay longer, we strongly recommend booking as early as possible, since the guesthouse is often booked out months in advance.
- Single travellers can choose the option "double room" when booking. You pay at first the additional fee for single travellers but after the trip you are reimbursed €13 for every night in which you shared the room with another person from the group.
- Your flight is not included in the price. We can, however, gladly recommend an experienced flight travel agent from our network.
- In case booking a flight for an arrival or departure on the given dates is not possible, or if you just want to spend a little more time in Argentina, we will calculate the difference in price for additional costs and accommodation individually.
- Don't forget to let us know when you book with us what previous dance experience you have, if any, and whether you prefer a school for classical or neotango.
- For booking and inquiries, please use the designated form.
- We will confirm your registration by email. After confirming all of the booked services with our service providers, you will then receive a written booking confirmation / invoice by mail or as a pdf document.
As an exception to our general terms of business, the deposit for this trip is €250 per person. Another €250 is to be paid 90 days before departure date. The remainder is then to be transferred 30 days before departure.
In the case of a trip cancellation up to 90 days before departure €250 is due, from the 90th to 30th day before departure 40% of the total price, and from the 29th to the 15th day 60%, per person. The clauses published in our General Terms of Business are then valid from the 14th day before departure onwards. If you live outside of the EU and pay by credit card, we charge you the corresponding amount. - Please consider whether and which travel insurance you need. Taking out a travel cancellation insurance and a health insurance is often very sensible. In most countries, an insurance policy can easily be taken out on the internet and should include the value of all travel services, including your flight.
- Premium members in our DyM Club receive a complete year's membership for the following year free when they book this trip. Please indicate your membership when you book!
- The minimum number of participants for the program described above is six people. In case this number is not reached, we will offer an alternative program with tango as a focus.
For more information on the content and the teachers, please use our contact page to reach us. If you dont have time for this trip in exactly those two weeks, please note that we offer individual programs for dance and language trips to Buenos Aires in connection with tours in Argentina throughout the entire year!
