To whom it may concern: This is a letter of recommendation that I hope will be posted anywhere that the brilliant and wonderful folks at Argentina Tango deem necessary.   I recently took a trip to Buenos Aires and had a marvelous experience.   Here is the story: My wife and I own a ballroom dance studio in Bend, Oregon.   We offer ballroom dance competitions and fun trips about 4 times a year.   This year we decided to go to Buenos Aires to experience the tango since the origins of our American tango and International tango come from the Argentine tango.   We consistently offer quality trips to our students and when we advertised this trip 13 students chose to go.   I was a little nervous since we were going internationally and I had never been to this destination before.   However, the trip was a fantastic experience and below is the detailed reasons why:

1.   Online communication: Argentina Tango responded immediately to our first inquiry.   They followed up with a detailed response to our first set of questions within 12 hours. 2.   Consistent follow-through: As my wife and I asked more questions and required more details, they followed up with exact answers.

3. Choice of locations and activities: AT chose excellent places to experience the milongas. They offered a number of trips (we used), were well worth our time.

4.   Personal attention:  One of the main concerns I had was how to organize my group from point A to point B.   AT solved all my problems by having someone from their staff meet us at specific times and places to get where we needed to go.   One of the main places we left from was our hotel.   There was always someone there, on time or early to escort us to our destination.   Also, each of our guides either made our transition easier or gave us valuable information to aid us in our stay.

5.   Choice of teachers:  We took lessons nearly every day of our 8 day stay.   The teachers and their dance assistants were fabulous and engaging.   We all could understand their English and more importantly understand what they were trying to teach us!!

6. Dance partners:  As the owner of the studio it was a HUGE issue for me to provide a good dance experience for everyone.   Not only did we have extra men to dance with (I had a majority of females in my group) we had both men and women partners for everyone at the milongas!  What an amazing experience to dance with Argentinean dancers in their homeland doing their national dance!

7. Integrity: When I arrived Carlos gave me make the country, and we quickly away with what we had scheduled on the square. He also has a cell phone in my hand, 1 speed dial, so I can reach him at any time during my stay was paid. I thought this gesture was well above what I expected. I had to use the phone from time to time, and so there was not ruined on improving travel.

This was the best trip that I have been on period.   It fulfilled all my expectations as a studio owner and as a dancer.   When we return to Buenos Aires (not IF but WHEN),  we will use Argentina Tango and their staff.   In fact, I would not even consider touring in Argentina for business or pleasure without the expertise of Carlos and his staff.   Every suggestion and recommendation that they offered was exactly as they made it out to be and in most cases exceeded my expectations.   It did not matter if it had to do with dance venues, side tours, places to eat or shows to see.   This is a top quality organization and if you are planning on touring in Argentina I insist that you use this company.   They will meet your wants and needs.   I would gladly tell anyone who asked me any of the details of the trip.   Please contact me at my studio if you wish.

Sincerely,

Travis Kokkeler

Pure passion. Who dances is conquered and who watches is seduced. The Tango: you can love it or hate it. There’s no in between. This rule cannot be ignored even by Grand Hotel Terme Astro, which gave hospitality to the members of the FAITango ( the Italian Federal Association Argentinian Tango), who agreed to meet in Tabiano the 18th and 19th of April. After the conference of the association, the guests all gathered in the rooms of the restaurant Delle Calle to taste the delicacies prepared by the chefs. Appetizers, mix of first courses, second course and dessert invigorated the energies of the dancers who started to crowd the dancefloor at 10pm. Following the rhythm of the milonga, time seems to vanish: the steps of the dancers cross, the hands clasp, the eyes light up. And then, it is striking midnight, the lights dim, their moment has eventually come. Pablo Linares and Patricia Carrazco come on stage. One of the most promising couples of Argentinian tango performed at the Grand Hotel Terme Astro. Both of them can rely on a solid classical and modern dance preparation and they studied with great masters such as Juan Carlos Copes, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, just to mention only some of them.   Being masters and coreographers themselves, the couple works with the greatest companies in Buenos Aires and all over the world. With such a curriculum these two artists could not fail the expectations and they did not. Bated breath and thundering applauses close the night. Tth tango was the protagonist also on Sunday with the lessons of  “secuencias combinadas” at 14. 30pm and, following, those of “musicalidad” for the students of upper-intermediate level. As a homage to the two tangueros, the hotel and wellness center near Parma has opened the doors of the Beauty Farm Alhambra proposing to the participants some incredible offers: the hammam programme “Eastern Vapours” at a reduced price and discounts on the other beauty treatments.
