Neighborhood: San Telmo
Characterized by cobblestones and narrow streets, San Telmo is defined by the tango, the dance that made Buenos Aires world-famous. Tango is a fusion of many different cultures: a true child of immigration, much like the city itself. Nowadays, it comes alive after dark in the milongas (dance parties) attended by both locals and visitors alike, who dance until the wee hours of the morning. During the day, the antique shops and classic cafés and bars around Plaza Dorrego dominate the scene. The emblematic Bar Plaza Dorrego, with its green awnings, checkered tile floors, and wooden interiors, takes you back in time the moment you step inside. For true porteño traditions, San Telmo is the place to be.

If you want both to learn the steps of tango, and understand the culture of the dance, Lucía y Gerry are ideal. Their teaching is both gentle and progressive, so that you feel encouraged to do better. They can take you from novice to professional, depending on what you want. Their boutique dancehall is appropriate and easy to get to by cost effective taxi. You are provided with photos and videos to continue your development. Thanks Lucía y Gerry for making this a highlight of our trip to Buenos Aires.

Our short stay showed that moving around in BA by taxi is the best way! The place is easy to be found, well kept with a big mirror on one side, a parquet dance floor and sufficient space for a dance class of let's say 8 to 10 people. We were lucky to have the luxury of being the only couple for a longer lesson (90 minutes). Lucia's and Gerry's instructions and feedbacks were patient and well adjusted to our individual beginner status. So we had a great time, including the milonga after the lesson. Thanks a million to Lucia & Gerry für this wonderful opportu8nity!!

My wife and I had several private tango lessons with Lucia and Gerry while we were visiting Buenos Aires for a week. They were wonderful instructors that helped us refresh and improve our tango dancing. We had fun with them and enjoyed their direct, practical lesson style. They also took us to a local milonga which let us experience some of the local tango culture. Highly recommended teachers.

Lucia & Gerry were fantastic. They made us feel very welcome and didnt make us look like we were dancing with 2 left feet (even though we were)!! They were patient and fun. The milonga was a great authentic experience. It was fun to put what we learned in the studio into practice. There were no judgements from the other dancers, just a relaxed fun evening.

My wife and I took six private tango lessons while staying in Buenos Aires and were super satisfied with everything. Lucia and Gerry really knew how to adapt to us with their teaching style (I am more of a beginner and my wife is already better). We made huge progress in only one week while also having a fantastic time. On the last evening we also joined them to a local Milonga. It can't get more authentic than that! We really recommend doing tango lessons with Lucia and Gerry while you are in BA!

We can't recommend a private class with Lucia and Gerry enough! They were super friendly and, more importantly, patient, but, before you knew it, we were dancing away. Lucia and Gerry taught us several basic steps and we were finally able to string them all together after an hour. They took pictures throughout so we can relive the memories. It'll make you catch the tango bug.

In January 2020 we went to Lucia & Gerry, with no tango experience up front. I, Martin, didn't have any dancing experience at all). We expected that this would become quite a challenge for both ourselves and for Lucia and Gerry.
But it was the contrary, in a very relaxed atmosphere they taught us the basics and we were able to make some moves ;-). Thanks Lucia and Gerry for an entertaining, joyful and wonderful experience.

My wife and I had a 90 minute tango lesson with Lucia and Gerry. It was a great introduction to tango. Gerry and Lucia were very competent (and very patient !) teachers. It was great fun but also a good learning experience. Excellent location in the middle of BA.

I see on your website that you are now teaching in Ireland, but it’s hard to tell when it was last updated. Is it true that I’ll miss you on my trip to Buenos Aires?

Lucia and Gerry, my girlfriend and I are traveling to Palermo, Buenos Aires from July 4 to July 15. I am a pretty good intermediate Tango dancer and my girlfriend is a pretty good beginner/advanced beginner. We would like to arrange for some lessons, either group or individual, with you. We would prefer to have lessons in the Palermo neighborhood, as San Telmo seems somewhat far away. We also want to know which are the best Milongas in Palermo, or in Buenos Aires generally.
Thank you.
