Très bonne expérience pour moi qui n’en avais vraiment aucune dans le domaine de la danse et encore moins du tango. Le studio est très joli et propre, Adrian est super gentil, attentif, très patient, à l’écoute et saura parfaitement vous guider. Je recommande vivement 😊…

My partner and I took tango lessons while on our trip to Buenos Aires with Adrian and Mora. We really enjoyed learning to tango with theses two great instructors. If you are looking to learn tango I highly recommend learning with Adrian and Mora

I had such a wonderful time taking Tango Lessons with Adrián Luna. From the first moment of the first lesson, I felt I was in capable and safe hands. Adrián’s professional attitude, his talent and love for Tango, together with his experience, attention to detail, and intelligence all culminated in great teaching, and, of course, great dancing. His friendliness, encouragement, and steady focus on the task at hand created an opportunity to experience real learning. The studio itself reflects an homage to learning in that it is clean, uncluttered, spacious, bright, and airy.
Additionally, it was a bonus to have Mora, his ravishing and equally talented partner, share her lovely and sexy stylings and adornments. I very much appreciated her observations and suggestions from a woman’s point of view. Both Adrián and Mora were more than generous with their time, attention, and care of me.Gwynn Lewis
Communication with Adrián was easy, prompt, and always accommodating. I felt that I had an ally in Argentina. Being his student brought me a sense of purpose and belonging during my stay—and more importantly, it was fun!
I hope that I have made it abundantly clear how grateful I am to have had the good fortune to have taken the best Tango classes I have ever had—not only has my dance improved, but also my heart and mind. It was truly a great value and a great pleasure!
I cannot recommend Adrián highly enough. He is an absolutely excellent dancer and teacher of tango – good-humoured, respectful and infinitely patient (this was necessary as I had absolutely no tango experience before booking lessons with him!). He tailors his lessons to precisely what you need and is honest about what can potentially be achieved.
His love of the dance, the music and the traditions of tango is almost tangible, and most definitely infectious. I felt I was learning tango from all possible angles, and very much appreciated the richness of the experience. His advice about what to expect at milongas was invaluable.His integrity can perhaps best be demonstrated by the fact that at a certain point he refused to let me sign up immediately for another course of individual lessons, saying that I had come to the point where I needed to go to group lessons and milongas. He was right – that was exactly what I needed, and I knew I could come back to him when I had problems to be fixed, or questions to be answered – but I can’t think of many people who would have been honourable enough to forgo immediate cash in order for their pupil to have an optimal learning experience.

If you are considering taking lessons with Adrián, I can say hand on heart that they will be worth every penny. His English is absolutely excellent, too – no language worries. In fact, no worries at all!
I also loved the input of his partner Mora, who inspired me with her elegant dancing, and gave me an infinite resource of adornos.
I truly consider myself immensely fortunate to have met this wonderful couple at the beginning of my tango journey. I can’t imagine a better start to this incredible and lifelong path.
We took an introductory tango lesson with Adrian while in Buenos Aires. We had a marvelous time! Firstly, Adrian was very quick to reply to my inquiry for a lesson. He communicated all of the information we needed in a timely manner. Adrian is a kind, patient, and wonderful teacher.
He took us through the basic steps of tango and helped us to understand the dance on the most basic level. We left the 90 minute lesson with a better sense of what tango truly is, a basic understanding of how to dance tango, and more importantly we left having made a new friend in Buenos Aires. If you are traveling to Buenos Aires and want to experience a little taste of tango, please call Adrian. You will not be disappointed.

My husband bought me a one-to-one tango lesson as a birthday present and it was one of the best I have ever received. The communication with Adrian beforehand was first class ( he even sent me a Happy Birthday Message) and the actual lesson was superb. I came away afterwards with a clearer understanding of tango, the ability to actually undertake basic steps (although the ‘sandwich’ is going to take some time to master!) and the joy of completing a whole dance.
But best of all was meeting both Adrian and Mora who are the kindest and most thoughtful of people. If you are looking for something very special and something you will never forget then book a lesson …or more if you have the time…I promise that you will not regret it.

We are a couple having danced tango for 5 years, and on our first trip to B’s A’s Nov 2022 We looked for privat tangolessons.
Margret Lundgaard
We are so glad that We found Adrian og Mora!! With their expertice and their deep understanding of tango, We had 5 wonderful lessons. They showed
us how to listen to the Music and to Danse the Tango and not just do figures / sequences. Back Home in Denmark we still feel their inspiration.
We strongly recommend this lovely couple.
Margret and Mogens
Best Tango experience! We enjoyed the class a lot and Adrian is taking you through all the Tango basics in a very clear and relaxed way. Would definitely recommend to go, worth the money!
Lotte Bloom
Ok so this seems like a lot of money but honestly this was the best investment we made on our trip through Latin America. The two hours flew by and we were given Adrian’s full attention as he understood our capabilities and helped us to progress step by step. So glad we made the decision to take a class and to have Mora’s unexpected company also for part of the class. Do yourself a favour and sign up for a class. I don’t think you will regret it. Xx
Simon Pritchard
We had the best experience (with dance) in our lives. Arian is a talented dancer and an extraordinary teacher. He is caring and can really read people. Despite having little skill, he always made me feel good about what I was doing. He is great with all age groups and all abilities. You won’t be sorry you took this class, ever…….
Joanne Milobsky
Adrián tiene absolutamente todo que ver con mi inicio en el Tango. No sólo me acompañó en mis primeros pasos concretos, sino en la magia de enamorarme de su música. Sugirió desde un principio, que empezara a escuchar tango durante mi vida diaria…ese fue el camino justo para mí. Supo “leerme” y saber por dónde podría empezar este camino hermoso, que es el Tango. Un verdadero Maestro.
Valeria Pina
If you are in Buenos Aires and interested in taking a Tango lesson, you MUST schedule an appointment with Adrian Luna. He and Mora break down the steps so you can follow, and they make you feel so at ease on the dance floor. Whether you are a beginner or have some dance training, this is PERFECT for you! I only wish I could have stayed in Buenos Aires longer to take more lessons from them!
Jana Davidoff
Adrian was a wonderful instructor. My partner and I completed 1 hour session with him. He made sure that we packed in as much as possible during that time and provided us with a holistic introduction to Tango. I wish we could have stayed in town to learn more from Adrian. It was an outstanding investment for us and we are now continuing to learn Tango independently.
Adam Baratz
Also worth noting that he was terrific communicator in English, which was very helpful.
My husband and I recently visited Argentina and had several tango lessons with Adrian and Mora. We could not have been more happy with our experience! Not only did we learn how to start to tango (because believe me there is a lot more to it then just some dance steps!) but they also took the time to teach us about their culture and the connection needed between two people who choose to tango together. I would highly recommend taking lessons with them! And if we ever return, tango with them will be on the top of our list!
Abigayle Molenda
My first trip to BA was the opportunity to take some tango lessons. I found out about Adrian’s Tango lesson via Google search and got so much more than I expected!
First of all, the communication was easy and always professional. The dance class is located in a beautiful house (a piece of art itself!) and easy to find. Then and most important: Adrian’s way to teaching is a wonder recipe.
His English is excellent and his passion for tango is contagious.He is talented at tango, but even more impressive is his intuitive approach in explaining technique and provide swift feedback for continuous progress. This made the whole experience an absolute success: so much fun and accelerated learnings!

Now i am hooked on dancing Tango and cannot wait for my next lessons.
Thank you Adrian!
Blissful tango lessons with Adrian and Mora!
I was visiting Buenos Aires for work, but had a couple of afternoons off, so decided to take the plunge and try some individual tango lessons.
Did some searches on the internet for private tango lessons and came across many schools/tutors.
Adrian’s website stood out for the clear and transparent information and for the grounded approach. Communication was easy and I soon had my three (90 min) lessons booked.
I am a tango absolute beginner and my last dance classes were flamenco over about 15 years ago. Not exactly the easiest pupil to teach in three lessons, but Adrian handled it expertly.
Adrian was very welcoming creating an easy and light atmosphere.
Adrian explained the basics of tango (which I needed) and after 30 mins of exercises in front of the mirror, I was dancing to some very nice tango.
Adrian structures his lessons very well creating a good balance between explaining tango fundamentals, explaining about the music we dance to, tango history and some much needed breaks to recover and digest all the information.The body also needs time to take in the moves, the sounds, etc. In those breaks you will be introduced to some very nice Argentinian treats which will fortify you for the rest of your lesson.
Catarina Macedo
On my last day, I also had the pleasure of meeting and have some tuition from Mora, Adrian’s dance and life partner. Mora is fabulous and will make you want to perfect your tango embellishments (adornos) all day!
I highly recommend Adrian (and Mora) for taking tango lessons of any level! When I go next to Buenos Aires, I will booking my slots!
We had a wonderful experience of our Tango lesson from Adrian and Mona (a very sympathetic couple) It weren’t not only the steps but also the feeling of dancing the Tango. When you go to Buenos Aires go for a private lesson. It’s worth the money!!!
Maud Bakker Hoen
Our Buenos Aires Tango experience with Adrian and Mora was amazing. We had looked on-line for tango lessons and are really glad we chose Adrian and Mora. The booking process was easy via email. The studio was lovely and no problem to travel to from the city centre. We had a 90 minute lesson which was perfect for our level of dance and Adrian and Mora were excellent teachers.
They were very kind in sharing some of their favourite local treats with us too along with some mate. In the evening they took us to a milonga at a local bar where we had a great time mixing with the locals and enjoying an authentic tango social dance evening. We would never have been able to do this without them and we really enjoyed their company. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer and have more lessons. We think of Adrian and Mora as our friends now and are hoping to welcome them as our guests in the UK one day.

More testimonials following:
I found Adrian via a Google search, our initial communication was very clear and professional. Adrian agreed to teach myself and my husband tango over a number of weeks and was happy to come to our apartment in BA as we have a young child and that suited us best.
When I finally met Adrian I found him to be very respectful, kind person who makes you feel very at ease. In many ways he went above and beyond what we expected during his lessons and via sharing music, videos and recommendations for what was an amazing tango club.
I must say without a doubt our lessons with Adrian have been an absolute highlight of our time here I only wish we could stay longer to learn more from him. I am truly grateful for what I have been able to take from this experience.
Lisa Frankland (Australia)
I am not sure that there are sufficient words to adequately describe what a wonderful experience I had meeting Adrian and his beautiful partner in life and dance, Mora. I came to Buenos Aires in search of authentic tango lessons and wanted a 1-2-1 experience rather than a class.
I had some previous dance experience but not in tango and I searched through many teachers and studios in BA before deciding to contact Adrian. I was so happy that I made this choice! Adrian’s lessons are so much more than a dance lesson. He is a gifted, intuitive and passionate coach whose love of tango is infectious.
He and Mora also really care about your experience of tango and of Argentinian culture and shared moments with us where they introduced us to yerba mate tea and other Argentinian traditions before taking us to a traditional tango social dance where we had dinner, dancing and a truly authentic and unique experience.
On a practical level, the lessons are sensibly priced, the studio is easy to reach by metro and the surroundings (in the art house owned by Mora’s mother) is a great space to learn tango. Adrian and Mora are sweet, funny, charming and generous people and my husband and I enjoyed their company so much. The 90 minute lessons covered not only the basic steps but some history about the dance and music and also the etiquette of attending a social dance.
On a deeper level, their love of tango is highly contagious and I defy you to come away from this experience without having fallen in love with Buenos Aires and the dance! I cannot recommend Adrian’s coaching highly enough. Thank you both for one of the most incredible weeks of my life. It was a real pleasure and an honour to spend time with you both.

Echt een aanrader!! Adriàn wist geweldig goed het tango-gevoel over te brengen! En wat een ontzettend aardige, enthousiaste en gastvrije mensen, Adriàn en zijn vrouw. Heb genoten van de tango, had t niet willen missen tijdens m’n Argentinie reis!
Petra van Kesteren (The Netherlands)
IT TAKES THREE TO LEARN THE TANGO Had one measly day in Buenos Aires in July, which was of course much too short. There was only time for the first item on my bucket list: Tango. The Gods smiled on me, because I came across Adrián Luna’s Tango Studio on Google.
GETTING THERE: The metro in BA measures up to the best in the world and the ride from Recoleta to Inclán was fast. Inclán is a neighbourhood of charming buildings from a more refined, gentle and prosperous age and is about to be transformed into one of the most hip places in Argentina and arguably in the whole of South America.
Adrian’s studio was easy to find and instantly recognizable as the façade is a splendid work of art. Even if you are unable to secure a spot in Adrian’s busy schedule, it’s worth going to Inclán only to see the building. It’s all about picking up the pieces. I was greeted by Adrián and Mora, his girlfriend and dance partner, whose mother had created the artwork on the façade of the building.
LEARNING THE TANGO As doubtful as I was of my own ability to learn something as complicated and beautifully intricate as the tango, I found Adrián and Mora reassuring and competent intstructors who could probably teach a table or a chair to dance the tango as well. They were that good… Did I learn to tango? Yes, a little bit. Was it a worthwhile experience? Yes, by far the most rewarding experience I had in a long, long time.
CAN I RECOMMEND THIS? If you wish to give yourself a gift, treat yourself to a few sessions or more in the company of these two very gifted individuals. It certainly takes two to tango, but it takes three to LEARN the tango. Thank you Adrián and Mora for a wonderful experience. I will be back someday.
Piet le Roux (South Africa)
I couldn’t recommend Adrian more. I was a single girl in my thirties travelling South America and found Adrian on line, he was welcoming and friendly, speaks english perfectly and is the most patient and skilled dance instructor I have ever seen. This was my first experience of dancing and Adrian was the perfect tutor. Thank you Adrian for a bucket list tick off – Learning tango with a professional Argentine. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks Adrian.
Annie Scott (London)
Cercavo un modo per avvicinarmi al tango, per superare l’imbarazzo e indirizzare l’entusiasmo che il tango provoca in me. Adrian è riuscito a fare con me entrambe le cose, dandomi fiducia e voglia di divertirmi, con il tango e comunque.
Guido Cerasuolo – Rentvenice (Italy)
More than Tango teachers, Adrian and Amora become your friends. We’ve experienced a wonderful dance class, and then they took us to dinner and dance on a local Tango restaurant/bar, and then we headed to a disco to listen and dance Latin music. You will become their fan! We absolutely recommend all of you to experience this opportunity.
Christiano Hage (Brazil)
Adrian is the amazing! I can not begin to express how much I have enjoyed—& continue to enjoy–my lessons with him. He is patient, respectful, kind & has a wonderful sense of humor (with all of my Mis-steps & errors). Even when not in the lesson, he will send a photo, a song or a video to illustrate a certain step, a certain rhythm or another important element of tango.
I just moved to Argentina & have told other dancers & instructors of his approach (how he is not focused on the steps…but more on how to lead & how to be led. How to be completely present in the dance.). All of the responses have been the same: that if I can master what Adrian has taught me, I can tango with anyone at anytime. He is a true teacher….not a mere instructor….but a teacher of music, mindfulness, clarity, focus and, yes, TANGO!!!
Johnna Murray (USA)
Adrian is a fantastic tango teacher & life coach! It’s always a pleasure to take lessons with him. These lessons & talking with Adrian will give you more confidence en will help you to know yourself better. And believe in every (tango) step you make in life. I always leave his beautiful studio with happy vibes. The positive energy he has is a true blessing! He’s a warm hearted person and makes sure you’ll get the best out of a tangoclass! Looking forward to dance some more when I am on a mini sabbatical in Buenos Aires.
Valerie Musson (The Netherlands)
I came to Argentina looking for a unique and special experience – and for me, this included experiencing tango. I had two private lessons with Adrian, one was one hour and an evening out at a traditional milonga with him, his lovely girlfriend Mora (also an amazing tango instructor) and some of his friends and other students and the other was a two hour private lesson with Adrian and Mora together. Firstly – tango is so much more complex and intricate than I expected it to be! I thought it would be simple to pick up, given I had some salsa experience.
There are so many more relationship and cultural complexities, even just getting out on the dance floor! Adrian is warm, generous and was sensitive to individual needs and nervousness! He is an amazing instructor with exceedingly large amounts of patience! I had such a wonderful time learning the tango with him and Mora, and the night out at the Milonga with his friends will be a treasured memory for life. I can’t wait to return with more time to pick up my lessons where we left off! Thank you so much Adrian (and Mora) for my wonderful, immersive and super special tango experience!

Following more Reviews and Testimonials from The Netherlands:
“If you want to get the feel of what tango is all about I highly recommend taking workshops with Adrian. You will find out that it is not about counting steps, but a way of communicating and letting go of all your fears. As it may seem very intimate, Adrian will show you that you are in control of your own space and you will feel a sense of freedom and strength. So if you ever have the chance to do a workshop: don’t think, but do it; it will be life changing.”
Diane van der Marel – Message in a Photo (Holland)
“The surprising tango dance of Adrian Luna was an eye opener for the richness of the tango from Argentina to express the dynamics of an organization. He let us see and feel the human life of an organization, not by a rational interpretation but by an inner feeling of the spiritual insight of their heart. It was the experience of a spiritual meditation about the inner richness of a good human management and we are very thankful for this tango experience from Argentina. I also realized that the dance is also a characteristic cultural expression of the value system of a country. Introducing the dance in management education is also a richness in cultural understanding of each other.
We are very thankful for your spiritual contribution to our management lectures.”
Paul de Blot SJ Prof. Nyenrode Business University
“Of course Adrian has excellent coaching skills, but more important (for me) are his highly developed intuition and personal experience with energy management; issues I struggle with sometimes. Like an ‘urban shaman’ he guides me to be more aware of my energy and manage the exchange/interaction with others. He also helps me clean up old baggage, which used to drain my energy. I always dreaded working on past ‘issues’ but with him it’s interesting and light, even fun sometimes! As a ‘spiritual sparring partner’ Adrian offers me a mirror when I need one. Wherever I am in the world, our Skype sessions help me to feel lighter, happier and more ‘myself’.”
Esther Jacobs (The Netherlands)
I hope the reviews and testimonials are a helpful resource to be able to find the most suitable lessons for you in Buenos Aires.
