“David's tango classes were one of the highlights of my recent trip to Argentina. It was a great privilege to be taught by such a talented teacher who was patient with students of all standards and had a sense of fun which made learning even more enjoyable. It was also refreshing to know that tango was not just a historic dance form popular with the older generation but that young dancers and teachers such as David are taking it into the 20th century and updating its image.”

“Never thought I'd take dancing classes, never thought I'd be dancing the Tango. But spending 4 weeks in Buenos Aires I could hardly NOT take lessons. So I did, and I really really really enjoyed it, group lessons as well as private. David's a great teacher,  even if you've got 2 left feet like me you'll end up dancing. If you've been thinking about learning this fantastic dance do it NOW, and let David & Kim teach you how to do it! You'll have a great time!”

“I have always thought you were a great teacher ... which is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to you. Some teachers talk too much. You use few words but get the class going immediately – usually by demonstrating – and the class continues on at a good pace. If someone is having trouble – you work with them individually.
I have aways been grateful to you – because even though I’m a terrible clutz and usually „bounce“ around the floor like a basketball  instead of keeping my head level – you were most patient with me. For all the wonderful things you taught me – thank you!“

“David is an inspiring teacher. He guides his students to an
appreciation of the sensuous details of the Argentine tango and he
breaks down the movements to make them accessible." 
Sharon Crocker, Seattle, USA

“... before my first class was over I was completely hooked. The class was so inspiring that I returned every night during the rest of my stay (in Buenos Aires). And by the time I left I was convinced that even I could turn into a dancer and pictured myself moving like a feather over the dance floor in high healed shoes. I would highly recommend anyone interested in giving it a go to choose David Benitez classes; it’s bound to be a great experience.”
Ann Christin Aunapuu, California

“I am an Argentine tango dancer studying under Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida.They are the world top artists who have performed for royalty and top lists of tango workshops and festivals all over the world.They´re also Julio Iglesias´guest artists on his world tours. They highly recommended me to take lessons privately from David as a part of their training. Since then he has been helping me not only maintain my posture and balance but learn about my body muscle movements and how to use them to show more quality of beauty when I dance. He has high knowledge about the human body and with his warm friendly attitude and his incredible patience supports and leads his student to reach their own goal."

I had a month of group tango classes in Buenos Aires with David last year. The classes were the highlight of my day - it was such a positive atmosphere and we all had a lot of fun. David's a great teacher and an excellent dancer. I would definately recommend going to his classes; having a professional dancer as an instructer really adds to the experience.

“David was very good at identifying what I needed to work on to improve my tango, but at the same time very patient and full of enthusiasm, his classes are really good fun too.”
Catrin Strong, London, UK

"He combines sound technical instruction at a steady learning curve with a fun, easy-going style that makes his classes exciting and enjoyable. Although David’s proficiency as a dancer is outstanding, I was impressed by his ability to convey his knowledge in an incremental, digestible manner which displayed his skill as a teacher“

" Taking tango classes with David in Buenos Aires was fantastic!  David is a real people person, very friendly & welcoming and at the same time, an  excellent tutor and professional dancer.  I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons ... they were a lot of fun and I learnt many steps and moves, quickly.“ 
Lucy Clements, Warwickshire, UK.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the tango lessons I had with David in Buenos Aires, and only wished that I had been there for longer so that I could have continued with them. David is an excellent teacher, who is not only a good dancer himself but knows how to impart his knowledge to others. His enjoyment of what he is doing is infectious, with the result that both he and his students have a lot of fun during his classes.”
Linda Louw


“Taking tango classes with David was great!  He was very patient and approachable from beginning to end with all of his students.  Our classes went far beyond just working in the studio, we also enjoyed outings to various Buenos Aires milongas, there with David´s encouragement we practiced what we learned in the studio with other people and had a lot of fun.  David is a great teacher and I would recommend his classes to everyone.  He has a great teaching style and a lot of patience for beginners.”
Anastasiya Shaposhnik, Ukraine, Student in Buenos Aires Jan 2006 - May 2006


"I think that anyone interested in dance, not just tango, would greatly enjoy your class.  As a teacher you were very patient and made it fun." 
John Cook

“I was so lucky to find David's course as every class was a
pleasure,and he was always encouraging even though I am by no means a natural dancer! He was also very dedicated and took us to milongas, which I wouldn't have had the confidence to try by myself. I would encourage anybody to try tango classes with David, I  guarantee that you'll fall in love with this beautiful dance and have lots of fun with the Argentina's best tango instructor!"

"Teaches with passion!”
Olga Sanopoulou

“Learning the tango from David was a great experience. He combines sound technical instruction at a steady learning curve with a fun, easy-going style that makes his classes exciting and enjoyable. Although David’s proficiency as a dancer is outstanding, I was impressed by his ability to convey his knowledge in an incremental, digestible manner which displayed his skill as a teacher as well. A thoroughly beneficial experience – thank you David!“

“Knowing nearly nothing about Tango Argentino at the beginning we had a fast progess in learning all the weird step combinations. David is a real professional in what he is teaching and we could feel his passion for tango all the time. It was not only pure hard work of course we also had a lot of fun during the classes. After three weeks we were able to survive a Milonga.”
