Reviews of Tanguito, Argentine Tango Academy
B. V.
Attended Bruno's NYE Milonga and had such an amazing time. I found it to be very inclusive and there were lots of laughs. Really lovely atmosphere. The class he taught beforehand was also amazing with lots of attention to detail. One thing that stood out to me was (due to the ratio of leaders to followers not being completely even) how Bruno was careful to ensure every follower had enough leader time. A great teacher all round!
M.
Bruno is an excellent teacher! He is friendly and patient and very good at explaining difficult concepts in tango. He is also great at giving constructive feedback. I have really enjoyed my lessons with him and have progressed very quickly - I can highly recommend Tanguito to anyone looking to improve their tango dancing!
M. K.
One of the best things about learning Tango with Bruno is the way he welcomes you into his dance community. I am a beginner and it can be quite daunting to brave your first milonga alone, but Bruno introduced me to people and put me at ease.
I should add that in his private classes Bruno is a great teacher. An excellent communicator, he shows you exactly what to modify so that you improve immediately. In addition, the classes are fun and you feel like you are getting a very rounded education in, not only the dance, but in the music and feeling of tango. He's also a lovely dancer to watch and to dance with! Gracias Bruno.

I have been taking classes and attending the social dancing events (practica and milonga) at tanguito for six months now. What a treat! The quality, depth and fun of the teaching approach and the friendliness of the community make it such a pleasurable and growthful experience that meets the needs of complete beginners to very advanced dancers. Highly recommended!

We took a package with Bruno in order to prep for our wedding dance - I had never danced tango before. I can say with full confidence that Bruno is a fantastic teacher: patient, clear in his communication, and creative. He’s made learning tango an absolute pleasure and is generally a super nice guy to have around. Cannot recommend enough - 5 stars!
I. J.
Bruno has been an amazing teacher. He has infinite patience, is fun to learn from and has managed to teach us a wonderful tango choreography for our wedding! He’s been amazing to work with and i would recommend him anytime with no hesitation!

We booked a 1 hour class for our anniversary present. It was fantastic!
Bruno was so proffesional and made a real effort to make the lesson very personal, fun and technical.
Definately will book more dance lessons in the future. Cannot reccomend more to anyone wanting to learn tango.
P. B.
Bruno picked up exactly between fun, gaining confidence again and challenging me at my first lesson. The lessons are professional and motivational yet with a little nudge to improve every time. Great fun and worth the money!

I only started dancing tango recently and didn't know what to expect when I turned up to my first class. Bruno and Paula are wonderful dancers who also know how to explain the dance to complete beginners. Since then I started private lessons with Bruno, who is not just knowledgable but also very encouraging.
E. L.
I came across Bruno and Paula’s instructional videos online this past pandemic year going on 4 years of studying Argentine Tango. As a passionately growing leader I recognize and appreciate Bruno’s style of dance, leading with sensitivity of where the follower is at all times, making impromptu moves that flow seamlessly together: a true gentleman’s lead. Only now I realize how much lower body leg and core strength it takes to dance this way, not something I can easily physically replicate even if I understood all the steps. However, Bruno explains his techniques clearly and eloquently in English for the serious leader to practice and grow into over time.
Equally clear and proficient in English is Paula’s instruction for followers. From the outsider point of view I can only appreciate the sensitivity and attention Paula puts into communicating with her partner through her dance. Again, few individuals possess the strength and poise that such professional dancers have achieved over decades of practice yet Paula explains the details which can make the follower’s dance both clean and beautiful. But more importantly, she reveals the conscious, hidden movements of her body which is meant to communicate clearly to the leader where she stands and on which foot upon arriving. Few teachers teach to that level of attention: for improving the back and forth communication between partners in Tango (which is ultimately the very reason why we dance!).
While online lessons cannot replace in-person instruction for Tango, for those already with some experience and understanding of the fundamentals, Tanguito lessons are clearly explained, very well organized, and rich with recorded information to review again and again. They are an excellent resource for improving your dance and leader/follower skills if you repeatedly practice the techniques to work into your Tango over time.
Saludos desde Los Angeles!

Bruno is a fantastic teacher. He explains so much in a way to help you understand it and improve. Such a joy to learn from him!
E. v. D.
Bruno taught us to dance the Argentine Tango in private lessons and we learnt so very much from him. His dynamic, personable and patient teaching style really made all the difference. His love for the tango was really inspiring. He also expertly facilitated a group Tango session for our staff team, who we were all beginners. Everyone enjoyed this greatly at the end of our annual training day! Highly recommended.
A. F.
My husband and I started learning tango with Bruno 5 months ago having no prior experience. We always wanted to learn and our (at the time) approaching wedding motivated us to commit. We found his teaching method very suitable for our needs: very clear, organized and structured, he gave us some solid basis to get started. At the same time he always challenged us and pushed us further where he saw we could improve faster, which was great because we didn’t have much time until our wedding. Closer to the date we booked 3 private sessions with Bruno to get his help to build a wedding routine on the music we had chosen. Despite having very little time we were super happy with the outcome and our guests loved our first dance (and we did too!). On top of this, going to classes at tanguito has been a real pleasure for us. Bruno and the other teachers are such talented and skilled dancers as well as very lovely people. The ambience is really pleasant and Bruno has also a great sense of humor, which makes tango even more fun!
C. P.
Excellent teaching, friendly atmosphere, great for all levels of Tango dancer.
I danced ballroom many years ago and knew only that Tango was completely different in almost every way. Tanguito has helped me make the conversion (almost) seamlessly.
Bruno is a fabulous teacher and combines technical excellence and attention to detail with patience and humour to make private lessons enjoyable and productive.
He and Beth take this warmth and welcome to the group classes as well. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive, and I felt immediately that I had a new group of friends who would continue to help me improve.
It can be daunting to go to a new class as a beginner, knowing no-one, at Bruno and Beth's class I felt instantly at ease and have enjoyed every lesson.
Thank you, both, for making learning Tango such fun.
B. C.
We had an excellent time during our introductory online class with Paula and Bruno. In 1h30 we were taught the basic ways to dance tango in different directions, some variations, the history of this dance, and some ins and outs on tango etiquette and customs. All in a smooth way, and still we feel like we really learned a lot! Thanks a million for giving us a great evening! Sofie and Bart

I've been taking private classes with Bruno to begin my journey into learning tango and I am really happy I picked him as teacher. Bruno is really friendly and I felt very confident in dancing with him straightway. The classes themselves are fun, enjoyable, and interesting. Bruno's approach is really simple and precise, he gave me great tips and good exercises to allow me to understand the body anatomy, the technique and the musicality involved in this dance.Thanks for transferring your passion and dancing skills in such a lovely way.
V. S.
Bruno is extremely skilled and has a truly effective teaching style. I would describe him as a philosopher who weaves life with tango. He’s exceptionally talented at transmitting the passion and logic behind tango and it feels almost meditative in the way he teaches, not only because of his precise dance technique and execution but also he portrays tango as a metaphor of life with lots of emphasis on the why behind each exercise.
He teaches you to be a natural dancer rather than learn prescribed steps. I have been going to his classes for a while now and feel a lot more confident and relaxed and ready to try new things and improvise and this is a testament to just how great of a teacher Bruno is.
His classes are exact, precise, informative and extremely enjoyable accompanied by his wicked sense of humour!
I would highly recommend him to anyone who is just starting out or wants to perfect their style and improve their musicality.
S. R.
I love the tango community that Bruno, Paula and Beth have created. Highly friendly environment where the tango teaching is at very high level. Working hard but having fun too! Bruno has created a clear tango curriculum (9 Tango Dimensions) for group lessons with teaching videos that are a great help. His resilience, enthusiasm and creativity provide tango online in this difficult time - highly appreciate! Keep up with the good work !
T. N.
One of the best tango schools in London. I started as a beginner and the teacher- Bruno has helped me tremendously with my technique, figures and musicality. Now I'm feeling much more confident of my dancing. Also, the dance community here is very friendly and welcoming so it's pretty easy to find a dance partner if you do not come with one. Highly recommend!!!
S. C.
Really enjoyed our first month of tango lessons. The classes are well structured with an intro to basic steps every week then a focus on one particular technique at each lesson. The technique is clearly explained and you have plenty of time to practice and perfect, as the teachers circulate and give advice and guidance. Nathalie and Bruno are both lovely, and bring fun and humour to the classes. They are organised and coordinated, teaching well together for both leaders and followers. Will definitely be continuing with lessons!
N. B.
Bruno private lessons are well worth to invest on to improve your Tango dancing. He has a deep knowledge of the technique as well as the musicality. He gives you regular feedback, giving time for corrections and improvement. The studio is well located and very pleasant. I highly recommend Bruno's private lessons.
M. J.
Only justed started with my first private lesson with Bruno and Asta, but this was a truly wonderful experience! Excellent teaching and guidance, and very encouraging.
T. W.
Bruno and Natalie are simply amazing! In 2 months they worked out a beautiful Tango dance for Ada and my wedding (I never danced in my life before!). I am particularly impressed by their teaching skills as they are very patient and nice which made me relaxed. I enjoy their classes and would recommend them to anyone who want to experience Tango!
P. A.
Paula and Bruno have created an impressive online library that revolutionizes the way anyone in the world can access quality education and become a solid tango dancer. I love the variety of topics as well as the balanced attention to followers and leaders technique. There is truly something for everybody.
L. H.
I have loved loved Tanguito. We booked 7-8 private lessons in order to prepare for our wedding first dance (because we wanted something different). Me and my partner had no dance experience at all but yet wanted something that would be elegant and creative. I was very bad at remembering sequences. Bruno was very patient and a perfectionist. He created a choreography that was beautiful and bespoke to our style. He then trained us very diligently focusing on every detail.
On our wedding day : all our guests LOVED our first dance. People were so excited and cheerful. Almost everyone took it on video and no one would believe we achieved it in 7-8 lessons only. I loved my wedding: but our first dance will definitely go down as one of the main highlights of the day. I would recommend it to anyone!!!! You will LOVE it guaranteed and worth every penny!!
K. A.
I had a great couple of days learning with Bruno on a one to one basis which helped me improve my tango immensely. He is so patient and explains each step well but also he was fun and made the whole time a wonderful experience. The 2 days flew by! I would highly recommend Bruno to help you improve your tango whatever level you are!
J. T. B.
Bruno was a wonderful teacher, he shared with us the history of the tango, so we understood the context in which the dance was made. We then had detailed clear instructions from him and he was patient and with us as we learnt! I felt very comfortable and improved loads over just 1.5 hours ! I will definitely be back.
E. H.
My husband and I are taking private classes with Bruno. He is a patient teacher and explains things very well. We had little to no dancing experience, and he managed to teach us a beautiful routine for our wedding first dance which even impressed the Argentinian side of the family! We are looking forward to continuing our lessons so we can learn how to improvise. I have every confidence that he will get us ready for the milongas of Buenos Aires!
S.
I have taken a lot of tango classes in my life, but I can honestly say that Tanguito's approach is the best I've had so far. Nathalie and Bruno's kindness and patience make of each lesson a pleasureful experience, and Nathalie has a unique talent to make you understand specific feelings and positions with help of funny comparisons and anecdotes. I would definitely recommend their classes to anyone, beginner or advanced.
A. R.
I had a few Private Classes with Bruno @ Tanguito, and being a complete beginner I really liked what I have learnt so far. I can't wait to progress to the point of attending the Milonga. Each move is explained in a comprehensive way both from the technical and stylistic point of view. The great thing about private tango classes is that they are always tailored to the student's ability and objectives. Bruno is an extremely competent and patient teacher, he has a great sense of humour and can truly transmit his deep passion for everything tango related, being it Milongas, Buenos Aires or Tango music. Highly recommended
M. R.
My husband and I enjoyed a private tango lesson. Bruno welcomed us kindly, and Nathalie taught us with kindness an humour. Her teaching style was very clear, and easy to understand for us beginners. We had a lovely time, and it certainly has increased my appetite to try more tango! Thank you so much.
J. V.
We were preparing our wedding and I thought that would be amazing to surprise our guests with a Tango, not really common dance for a Spanish wedding.
I wasn't familiar at all with any type of dance, even less with Tango, but Bruno was incredible preparing us, specially me :).
The day of the wedding was amazing and the dance was great, our guests were speechless and amazed, such an awesome surprise.
We have enjoyed this experience so much that we will continue with classes after our honeymoon.
Thanks Bruno and Nathalie!!

Clear in depth explanations from Bruno who is always encouraging. he focuses on teaching a style & steps that can be used at a Milonga. Thank you for some excellent lessons
T. R.
Nathalie & Bruno have a passion for Tango that is inspiring. They have a depth of knowledge such that they are able to adapt their teaching approach to individuals. They also both have a genuine, friendly and attentive nature with a sincere wish to impart their experience within lessons that are fun as well as engaging.
With a real interest in their students and a healthy dose of humour, I feel that Nathalie and Bruno provide an enjoyable and welcoming environment in which to learn.
S. W.
This is a really good Tango class. I have been to a few and this is the best. Why do I say this?
Bruno teaches with two excellent female partners, Beth on Wednesdays and Paula on Sunday. They both give great instruction and so does Bruno. Other teachers may be good dancers but many are poor teachers because they just demonstrate but don’t teach. Show off, but don’t help their students advance.
Bruno teaches in a way that breaks things down and brings his students along throughout the lessons. Some other teachers show contempt to their students - Bruno never does. Plus, he is modest and self effacing. However, make no mistake, he is a fine dancer.
Finally, he creates an atmosphere that is welcoming. This is unusual for Tango classes and some Milongas (social dances) are awfully snooty - again, his Milonga never is. He sets the right tone for his classes ( Wednesdays and Sundays) and Milongas, which are held every Sunday.
L. M.
Nati and Bruno are great. In eight private lessons, they took my partner and I from absolute beginners to, well, we think a decent tango level. They are both very constructive and encouraging, and it was a pleasure to learn from them. Nati and Bruno, we look forward to dancing with you again!

I went to Buenos Aires last August with the Annual Tango Holiday organised by Bruno. I didn’t know either the organiser or any of the participants, and I was a bit apprehensive.
Well, it turned out to be a fantastic experience! Bruno is well organised and replied to all my queries promptly and politely. We had excellent tango workshops organised for us every day and we also attended fantastic Milonga at night.
This annual trip usually happens during the World Tango Festival and Championship which gives the opportunity to enjoy a few free tango events such as concerts, shows and competitions. Great experience!
Now, I attend Bruno’s classes regularly. He is a very patience and knowledgeable teacher. The way he teaches is very clear and engaging which makes my learning process very enjoyable.
Thank you, Bruno, I feel like my tango journey is improving and growing with your help, also thank you for sharing your passion and for all the hard work you put into it!
c. h.
I started Tango with some dance experience in Kizomba, another very passionate dance. The most striking thing at first was the strong emphasis on technique which is what I was looking for. Bruno is very good at breaking down the essential elements of the lead that is so important for a man to become a good tango dancer. After a few more classes I saw that Nathalie and Bruno have charisma, great passion and a fantastic connection with each other. You just wanna keep coming back. These guys are fantastic teachers and the atmosphere in there classes is not just nice but niiiiiicccceee. I would recommend to anyone including my Mum. Take care Y'all. Hope you find this review useful :-)
J. D.
Bruno and Nati are wonderful people and great teachers. As a beginner, it really helps to see both sides of the dance (how to dance in a pair and what is the lady's part) - highly recommended if you are looking for some private tango lessons.

I feel like I've known Natalie and Bruno forever, despite it only being just over a year of starting at their classes. They have a friendliness you just don't get from other teachers, but with an honesty in their feedback that really makes you work at the techniques and style they are teaching. I love the classes. They are structured, clear and balanced and you can feel the improvement you make in every one. After joining their classes from some more bar based crowded scenes, I finally felt like I was actually learning to dance. Though with Nathalie and Bruno, you don't just get the steps but also so much about the culture, the music and musicality, the tradition. It's never just the steps, but the art - for following, or leading (or both) - involved in the embrace. Tanguito are a complete immersion in Argentine Tango. Go!
A. W.
We really want to thank Nathalie and Bruno for their help, encouragement and endless patience! It is fair to say that we were not their most naturally gifted students but they somehow managed to get us through the first dance at our wedding.
They carefully designed a routine with us and carefully paid attention to our ability and needs. Despite struggling at first, we gradually started to improve and enjoy the experience. It was definitely worth it judging from the reaction of our guests.
Thanks again guys, you are great teachers x
D. H.
Bruno is the Maestro of this wonderful Tango Academy, along with the beautiful and extremely skilful dancers he works with Paula and Beth. Bruno is fun, friendly and witty as well as being incredibly kind and patient. His classes provide masses of detailed expert guidance on technique as well as flair. Sunday afternoon sessions at Tanguito provide a detailed 90m minute class for intermediate and advanced Tangueros, followed by several hours of Milonga - allowing you to catch up with Tango friends on and around the floor.
S. V.
Natti and Bruno did a great job with our wedding dance. My husband wanted to try Tango but not only didn't we have any experience on this type of dance, I am myself very lame at remembering footsteps. Anyway the result was great and felt really natural. We have had so many compliments about our dance frm our friends and family. Natti and Bruno are really flexible with the hours of the lessons and manage to put up a choregraphy that will suit us best. Our dance was elegant, passionate and natural ! Thank you guys !
L. S.
Other matters brought me to London for a few days. Living in Middle East and a newbie at Tango I felt happy to know about Tanguito. A place where I'd be able to take some personalized tango lessons during my stay. Tanguito got my attention based on the reviews and I was not disappointed. Bruno knew what I needed to work on and customized my time, giving me exact dose of technique, musicality, embrace, connection and history to feel comfortable enough to go and enjoy milongas.
I recommend sincerely that you go to Bruno and Nathalie if you want to learn, improve or master your tango dance. From my experience the whole process form contacting them, scheduling and the lessons itself were in the most professional way. On top of that, their warmth and the relaxed and friendly environment that they procure truly sets them apart.
L. O.
Bruno and Nathalie came along to our charity and facilitated an exhilerating introductory session. They were fantastic at engaging participants of different backgrounds and with different mobility needs, making it a very fun and enjoyable session for all. Everyone came out of the session literally glowing with happiness. Bruno and Nathalie were fantastic at introducing the beautiful form of tango in an engaging and very accessible way, so learners of all backgrounds were able to participate and have a great time. We will definitely be inviting them back again!
n. l.
Bruno and Natalie are wonderful teachers. They teach well structured classes that give you tools to build and improve your dance, rather than set piece sequences or isolated moves. Its a really friendly environment with a great floor. And extra followers are rotated out to practice technique and adornments so no time wasted!
S.
If you're looking for a fab teacher who can make even the clumsiest creature on earth feel confident enough to attempt dancing a whole tango, Bruno is your man!
I've been taking private lessons with him for a few months now and his patience, impeccable style, fantastic teaching technique, knowledge and (last but not least!) lovely sense of humor have made my tango lessons one of the most enjoyable, relaxing, uplifting and rewarding moments of the week.
A. R.
I was fortunate to meet Nati and Bruno in Buenos Aires . i noticed them while we were attending the same seminars because they are excellent Tango dancers . When I found out that they were organizing and teaching seminars as well i joint the classes for one week . It was very rewarding and I enjoyed every minute of it . They are not only lovely people but also very skillful and professional teachers and organizers . All the students seemed happy and excited and I would recommend Nati and Bruno's tango holiday to anyone who wants to get to know Buenos Aires , have fun and improve their Tango at the same time .

We approached Bruno and Nathalie in December and bought several individual lessons as well as group lessons. At the time, we had no knowledge of Tango whatsoever, but we had planned to do a tango for our wedding dance, in August.
We started with an individual lesson to get the basics, and then went to several group classes. Worth noting that we also went to a regular Milonga on Sundays in Clapham Junction to get more practice in - that is fairly crucial as you need to practice what you learn in the group lessons. Bruno and Nathalie are great teachers, and their classes, both individual and group, are excellent and were crucial to getting us to the point where we can, in fact, have a decent Tango wedding dance!
Thank you Bruno and Nathalie. We'd heartily recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to dance Tango, but be sure to both 1) get individual classes as well as group classes and 2) practice in Milongas every week!
C. C.
Nati and Bruno are wonderfully warm and kind teachers who are able to tell everything about the way you dance and move in seconds. I needed urgent lessons for a job and they were brilliant at giving confidence and knowing the specific elements that would be useful. The private class was fantastic as was the group class. I would thoroughly recommend them.
C. A.
I started my tango quest by having some private lessons with Bruno at Tanguito, as I didn’t feel confident enough to attend group classes to begin with. I am pretty impressed by how much progress I’ve made in just a few weeks, but I have a sneaky suspicion it’s all down to Bruno and Nathalie’s teaching philosophy, which is based on making sure that students have a solid grasp of the basic techniques of Tango, allowing for steady improvement as each student’s experience grows. I soon felt confident enough to attend group classes, which I have found easy to follow, as great care is taken to deconstruct each step into easily manageable sequences. The classes are clearly well thought-out, with a few techniques explained and practiced each session, and recaps at the end, finally leading to an opportunity to practice the steps learnt.
The fact that the classes are taught by both Nathalie and Bruno allows leaders and followers to both learn their own steps, but also to have a better grasp of the movement and effect desired for each sequence. All this takes place in classes that are as exact in methodology as they are relaxed and friendly in atmosphere, so I feel very lucky I discovered Tanguito, and would recommend it to anyone looking to start their own Tango adventure!
A. V.
While I lived in London, I spent 2 years learning and dancing tango with Bruno & Nathalie. I really enjoyed their friendly and professional way of teaching (I had never dancedTango before) and the many opportunities they offer to just practice and meet new people (like sunday afternoons). The classes are good value for money and flexible - you can pay 1 class at a time or go for a package if you come more frequently. Also I loved the clothing range: I bought myself a So Chic skirt, fits perfectly as it is tailor-made, and has a unique and customized color combination - such a pleasure to dance with ! So my simple advice is: if you're tempted by Tango, just try Tanguito !!
G. N.
After having Tango classes on my wish list for some time I went to Tanguito - Bruno & Nati are amazing. They are wonderful teachers with humour, fun and broke it down for me to understand perfectly - I found their style of teaching the Tango class easy to follow and I am in love with the style and music - what can I say but am now fully addicted and will be back to have another fun and enjoyable evening. I cannot recommend it enough..
A. I. B.
Amazing high end dancers, very talented teachers with vast knowledge and super professional at running the business, you dont get this mix right often in a business like this! They have it all! Superb online classes and private classes with Bruno such a treat!
K. A.
Could not be more pleased with the lessons we got. Bruno and Natalie were really patient and calm when we got frustrated.
Really happy with the 1st dance choreography that was created since it was made to suit our capabilities and tailored to our necessities. There won't be anything like it.
We are really looking forward to continue with lessons past our weddings!
100% recommend!!!!!!
U. O.
Learning here is always fun. Bruno is hilarious, loving his jokes that always keep the spirits high without skimping on technique. This is also one of the friendliest places you can go to dance. They also let you record a video recap at the end which is as inspiring as it is useful for personal study. Can't recommend enough!
N. R.
The tango lesson videos from Tanguito are excellent. As a beginner I'm learning so much and enjoying myself as well. I've really loved the lessons on "steps inspired by" some of the golden age dancers. It's interesting to delve into this history. My thanks from San Antonio, Texas for such great videos. Hope to do a class in person someday.
H. R.
For me, Bruno and Nathalie shows some special and unique qualities in the way they approach teaching tango - qualities that are rare on the London scene. I found them to be incredibly accepting of how tango is taught elsewhere and highly responsive to where I wanted to take my tango next. They have shown patience in spades and subtlety in the way they provide guidance. All in all, a thoroughly fun and rich experience.
H. A.
My love and I participated in the 2017 Tango Holiday and we are so very very glad we did! Nati and Bruno were excellent hosts and instructors!! Their itinerary was varied and interesting and the tango workshops were with some of the most excellent dancers and instructors in Buenos Aires. Lessons and site seeing during the day and milongas every night. And what a lively and congenial group! Such fun!!! Our flats were clean and safe and close enough to the bus and subway lines to make city travel convenient. Totally remarkable experience!! I simply cannot say enough good things about it!!
Thank you Bruno and Nathalie!!!
Abrazos
Helena and Jim
Ps. We are from Florida and did not know them beforehand. We just took a chance and we are so glad we did!!!

I had great pleasure rediscovering Argentine Tango with Nathalie and Bruno recently. Their method is easy to follow and yet you have the impression of learning a lot during each class. Their approach looking at both technique and musicality is entertaining and the atmosphere of the class very friendly.
Highly recommended teachers!
A. G.
Well taught and supportive classes and a wonderfully friendly milonga. Bruno and his partner teachers are fabulous at putting across the concepts of tango and musicality in ways that are easy to learn and grow from. So glad I discovered them
A. P.
I’ve been attending Tanguito’s classes and milongas for a few years now and I recommend them unreservedly. Bruno, Paula and Beth are excellent teachers, combining patient and subtle analysis of tango moves, with warmth and humour ... I’ve experienced a few teachers in London and Tanguito are the best. If you come to the classes feeling like a bull in a china shop with three legs and low confidence then this is the place for you.
A. K.
Natalie and Bruno are a great teaching couple; they are warm and friendly and will provide you with the attention and guidance needed to progress your dance. Every time I have been there I found the classes very helpful in which I learnt something. I definitely recommend them to you all!
A. B.
Nati & Bruno are the most excellent teachers - patient, kind and caring in their approach, yet they push us on ensuring continuous improvement. Every lesson has included laughter and joy. We go to both private and group lessons with Tanguito and thoroughly enjoy our time with them and the other students. In particular Nati has a great knack for breaking seemingly difficult pieces into bite-sized, manageable chunks. Then she puts them together for us - awesome!
M. L.
My step of Tango started from Tanguito. I had tried out other tester course before but I was not satisfied with the class contents. Then I went to Tanguito for my second tango class and then after that I have been kind of addicted to Tango. Nati and Bruno were welcomed me at the first class and I always see everytime they look after/teach students with enthusiasm. The class is well structured and I think the students can progress step by step. I would just keep going with my great teachers and wish I could dance beautifully like them someday.....
J. O.
Bruno and Nathalie live and breathe tango. Not only do they teach the steps, but you learn about the music and the culture that has given us this beautiful dance. Their classes are fun and friendly. They provide a great stepping stone from class to club whilst gaining a network of friends and learning the all important etiquette of a milonga.
X. G.
Having danced tango over the last three years in several places in London, I recently discovered Nathalie and Bruno's tanguito, and I have to say that I was impressed. Their improver courses are well structured, the ambiance is cool, and both provide a very good feedback on the many details one has to work on to improve style and confidence. Their method, which always combines technique, moves, but also music and musicality, is really original and something I wish I had earlier, as music and musicality are often left out in most places. Finally, their idea of a monthly 'milonguita' is fantastic, and was something missing for all the beginners out there who don't dare to get on a social dance floor for months after starting lessons!
In short I can wholeheartedly recommend this young couple. They will make you want more, and will give you the tools to get there.

I booked a private group class for a hen-do at Tanguito, and it was great! Bruno and Nati were very helpful during the booking and ensured that all our requests where met in terms of date, timing and location. Moreover, the group class was well organised and with just the right level of technique for absolute beginners to take onboard. Most importantly it was a lot of fun! The bride to be was very impressed and happy with it all and still talks about the great experience she had. Thank you!

i am one of the organisers of World Groove, an annual dance event aimed at promoting cultural diversity through dance by bringing various dance styles from around the world all under one roof.
We selected Tanguito to represent Argentine Tango.
Whilst their workshop were busy and attracted many people, they created a very friendly atmosphere; students of all levels, including other dance instructors, loved their tango session. Their approach is well structured and ideal to learn tango.
They also did a beautiful and inspiring performance during our evening gala, in Stratford's Town Hall, in front of hundreds of guests. I was impressed by the elegance, style and musicality of Nathalie and Bruno. We're looking forward to working with them again in 2013!

I was taking private lessons and went to a few milongas some four years ago before relocating across the globe. And no practice where I am unfortunately so I thought since I’ll be in London on holiday let’s try a class and see how it goes. And it went Very Well!!! It was incredible how everything just came back by itself and I still had my moves. Strongly recommend Tanguito, so dedicated, so friendly and private classes are gold to make good progress. It’s more than value for money. I had looked up a few possibilities back in the day when I was thinking of taking up Tango but Tanguito is the best choice.

I have had a year of private lessons with Bruno, it has been an extraordinary experience learning tango and his patience, humour and kindness have made it possible to go from hopeless and fairly awkward beginner to finding I can follow and actually dance, as if by magic :-)
B. K.
Bruno & Nati are exceptional teachers, I've been having privates with them on and off for a year now and feel its really improved my technique and musicality. Plus they have built a fabulous tango milonga community! Thank you x
d.
Great lessons with attention to detail and individual corrections. Bruno has a very deep technical understanding of tango and knows very well how to translate that into a lesson. I always leave with a smile :)

My first visit at Tanguito Tea Dance was lovely, I thank Bruno for the initiative to dance only once with one partner, in order to get to know as many dancers as possible during the event! I want to come again, with love, Svava Kim

Bruno, Nati - just want to say thank you for a truly tangotastic CHE Tango Festival! Start to finish - workshops, lessons and milongas over four days were just fabulous. Super tango maestros, beautiful tango people, amazing tango energy - loved every minute. And special thanks for my birthday celebrations at the closing milonga - very special and one I will cherish always. Besos y abrazos enorme! <3 <3 <3

Bruno and Nathalie of Tanguito are wonderful teachers - clear instructions, helpful guidance, very kind and supportive, encouraging you st all times. They put a lot of effort into making sure you progress. Our Buenos Aires holiday has been a shining example of all those qualities.
R. R.
I came in with some basic moves, and now I'm pretty confident in my dance, and feel like I can join any milonga. And on the top of this I now have a group of friends I'm happy to meet every week.
The lessons are challenging in a good way: it seems to be going fast, but actually everything clicks together a few days later. The moves and sequences we learn are being presented in a way which allows us to cut them down to their base, and rebuild them later on at the milonga.
Thanks for everything, it's really a nice place to be!
B. G.
Natalie and Bruno of Tanguito are warm, welcoming, patient, professional dancers - all you need to start, progress and master Argentine tango. If you're thinking of learning the dance, you should start with Tanguito.

We had a great peivate Tango lesson with Nathalie. She was patient and absolutely determned to teach us how to dance! We picked up the rudiments fairly easily. Bravo Nathalie! Looking forwaard to our next lesson xxx
J. B.
Some of the best on-line classes I have ever seen. Great explanations and a nice balance of figures, technique, style and the "heart" of tango. Amazingly useful for practice and to re-watch again.
A. A.
I had the pleasure to watch their online classes during the pandemic. The classes are very detailed and well explained, for me the best is that there is lots for followers, both in terms of technique and decorations! Highly recommended and well worth it!

With all the elegance of the Argentine dance, each lesson unfurls at its own pace like a well structured Tanda, seamlessly manoeuvring its students on an exquisite path to Tango competence.
In the beginner class, one can expect a delicious diet of ten staple steps, immaculately presented with lashings of advice and unlimited patience. The complexities of every step being diced into delectable mouth sized morsels, that can be quickly digested in a most effortless fashion.
Intrigued? That's just for starters! Tanguito is a three course meal! With an appetite developing, the Improvers class serves up a nutritionally balanced array of spicy skills which peppers the student's complement of steps with finesse and dexterity. This second course feeds the beginner with the nourishment they need to survive out in the wild world of the Milonga.
But that's not the end! What meal would be complete without dessert? By now the once tenderfoot beginner is a seasoned diner and the final is a real treat for the senses. An absolute layer cake of tango, revisiting the classic steps but with added panache, icing off combinations with delicate adornments and real emotional content. Welcome to the Intermediate/Advanced class.
This is the set, but dynamic menu served at Tanguito.
I'm not done yet, and neither is Tanguito! for those with an insatiable appetite, there is always the option to order from the a la carte menu where a private, more focused setting houses a tailored lesson where cherry picked ingredients are infused to the diner's order.
Already eaten? Just looking for dessert? No problem! Like all the courses, dessert can be sampled independently, there's no enrolment just drop in when you feel hungry!
Ok, so that's everything on the menu, but who are the chiefs preparing this soul food for the feet?
Let me introduce Nathalie and Bruno. This pair of tango veterans lovingly prepare every class with real dedication, considering their students at every step. Their approach can only be described as holistic, stepping into Tanguito is really an immersion into the tango culture, the music, the lyrics (translated for the hard-of-Spanish), the etiquette, the shoes, the clothes and of course the steps and the shoes.
This lovely duo complement each other beautifully, always delivering the complexity of each step with the exact dosage of humour necessary to keep the class lighthearted and fun. Always willing to take questions, give advice, tips and encouragement Nathalie and Bruno are a joy to be taught by.
C. S.
The online work-out classes are amazing! Always fresh and interesting, and just the right pace. They have kept me sane during lockdown. Thank you so much Tanguito team!
G. P.
Best tango teacher in London!!! I highly recomend both group and private classes!
I also really love the milonga, the atmosfere is very friendly and welcoming :)
D. L.
I really benefited from my one to one lesson with Nathalie. She was able to assess very quickly what I needed and was able to help me in a very structured way with walking, embrace, musicality and more. I was impressed that I could get such constructive input from someone I had not worked with before.
G. L.
Nathalie and Bruno are very attentive and passionate teachers. Coming to the classes has been a great experience, always enjoyable and friendly.
G. G.
Thank you both very much for lovely and very informative classes on-line! I have been enjoying them very much and they help to keep my practice and tango spirit up! Looking forward to seeing you in real hopefully soon!

Great trousers! Classic, stylish, great movement, shape and overall aesthetic. Light, functional, high quality. These trousers transform your dancing! Getting ready to order my next pair. Money well spent. Thank you "Tanguito"

M. C.
Great, professional teaching but pre-covid usually not enough space to practice the moves.
L. P.
A very swift delivery service. I ordered a Milonga style dress and two pairs of Gaurdia Vieja trousers for men. The quality is good and well made too.

(Translated) Hi. I've been taking classes with Bruno for the past two months and I'm already starting to learn to dance (which, more than surprising is almost a miracle). Bruno is a great guy, kind, calm, friendly and always tries to make the student not only learn to dance, but enjoy the atmosphere and music and have a good time. In addition, in the group and milongas classes there is a fantastic atmosphere, people are extremely friendly and try to spend and have a good time to everyone.
For all those who want to at least defend themselves by dancing, Bruno is the best recommendation I could give them
(Original)
Hola. He estado tomando clases con Bruno por los ultimos dos meses y ya estoy empezando a aprender a bailar (lo cual, mas que sorprendente es casi un milagro). bruno es un gran tipo, amable, tranquilo, amigable y siempre trata de que el alumno no solo aprenda a bailar, sino que disfrute con el ambiente y la musica y pase un buen rato. Ademas, en las clases grupales y milongas hay un ambiente fantastico, la gente es tremendamente amigable y trata de pasar y hacer pasar un buen rato a todo el mundo.
Para todos aquellos que quieran al menos defenderse bailando, Bruno es la mejor recomendacion que podria hacerles

(Translated) Bruno is an excellent tango teacher, and he is also very kind as a person.
I started to take private lessons with him several months ago. As a teacher, he managed to make a patadura like me dance tango. Bruno explains the movements and steps in detail, without merely showing them, so that one understands the reason for each action or movement.
To his knowledge, clarity and many years of experience, it is added that Bruno can teach not only in English, but also in Spanish and French.
In addition to the steps learned, I always take something positive to talk with him. His classes are highly recommended!
(Original)
Bruno es un excelente profesor de tango, y también es muy amable como persona.
Arranqué a tomar clases privadas con él hace varios meses. Como profesor, logró que un patadura como yo pueda bailar tango. Bruno explica los movientos y pasos en detalle, sin limitarse a mostrarlos, de forma que uno entiende el por qué de cada acción o movimiento.
A su conocimiento, claridad y muchos años de experiencia, se suma que Bruno puede dar clases no sólo en inglés, sino también en español y francés.
Además de los pasos aprendidos, siempre me llevo algo positivo de conversar con él ¡Sus clases son altamente recomendables!

(Translated) Bruno helped us to do our first dance at our wedding. We had never danced or tango or anything else. Bruno was very patient and took care of all the details. He gave us a lot of confidence and we finally fulfilled a dream by being able to perform the choreography on such a special day. Everyone was delighted! 100% recommended.
(Original)
Bruno nos ayudó para hacer nuestro primer baile en nuestra boda. No habíamos bailado nunca ni tango ni ninguna otra cosa. Bruno tuvo mucha paciencia y cuidaba todos los detalles. Nos dio mucha confianza y finalmente cumplimos un sueño al poder realizar la coreografía en un día tan especial. Todo el mundo quedó encantado! 100% recomendado.
