This page profiles Auckland-based tango teachers and teachers offering private Argentine Tango lessons in Auckland. Prior to listings being accepted for publication, there is no vetting at all by the administrators and editors of this website as to the expertise, experience or quality of the teachers. The styles taught can vary widely from traditional improvised “salon” and “milonguero” social tango through to “nuevo” and choreographed show performance tango.

Information is provided by teachers in their individual teacher profile sections. Further information can be obtained by making direct contact with teachers, and also by attending tango practicas to seek insights from dancers, who include current and former students.
