   Kim and David opened the world of tango to us with grace, generosity, and an infectious passion that stays with you long after each class. Their elegance and professionalism shine through in everything they do. With a calm and thoughtful approach, they bring incredible attention to detail and a deep appreciation for the aesthetic of movement. Every lesson is a magical experience—filled with beauty, humour, and a genuine sense of belonging. Learning from them has been truly transformative.

   My husband and I started attending David and Kim’s group classes to learn tango for our wedding and also took private lessons with David, who choreographed our wedding dance. The experience was fantastic—we enjoyed it so much that we continued coming to the group classes even after our wedding! Their teaching is excellent, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Saturday afternoons in Soho have become a real highlight for us. Highly recommend!

   David and Kim are not only captivating dancers, but also exceptional teachers with a rare gift for translating their expertise. I always leave their classes with a joyous spring in my step. My tango journey began with a spark in their class back in 2019, quickly igniting a passion that led me all the way to Buenos Aires for a deeper tango immersion. They meticulously break down each fundamental step, focusing on details like weight distribution in pivots and posture alignment during walks. They are masters of "debugging" – providing targeted solutions to posture issues, balance, and control. They excel at explaining complex concepts in clear, engaging language using helpful metaphors (‘imagine connected but separate wheels on the torso and on the hips when pivoting’). David's positive outlook is infectious. When I'd lose balance, he'd say, "Great! That means you're pushing your limits, and your body will learn to compensate." This positive spin (literally and metaphorically) keeps me motivated to learn. They have bought out the best in me as a person and their nurturing environment has cultivated a community of friendly and dedicated dancers, making their classes a hub for meeting some of the nicest people in London. If you're looking to explore tango in a supportive, joyful environment, look no further!

   David and Kim teach with such grace and care … firstly to actually teach proper leading and following; but secondly, to build and craft the group ethos in their classes where you can focus on your technique and learning at the same time as connecting with like-minded people who love to dance. They are true professional dance teachers and we have seen so many people (me and my partner included) go from absolute beginner to being able to dance confidently in social milongas under their tutelage

   If you're interested in learning how to dance authentic Argentine Tango then I can highly recommend Tango Movement with Kim and David Benitez. Their years of experience enable them to pinpoint exactly what elements of the dance you need to focus on. I've been dancing for several years and had developed some unhelpful habits. Their inspired, fun and patient teaching has helped me to improve. The classes are very friendly and welcoming and I've met some lovely people to dance with in and out of classes.

   Not only are David & Kim, the teachers at Tango Movement, extremely talented dancers, but they are also fantastic teachers. Every lesson I have attended has been not only extremely enjoyable but also very satisfying. This is because David & Kim create a welcoming, fun atmosphere in classes, whilst being committed to getting the best out of their students resulting in real progress every lesson. Come to a lesson with Tango Movement and you will not be disappointed!

   When I first started dancing tango 18 months ago, I went around London trying out different classes and teachers but was not satisfied with the progress I was making. I then travelled to Italy, Switzerland, and Germany and many other cities looking for the same but to no avail. One fine day, I met David in a Tango festival in London and he invited me to his classes. When I completed my first lesson with David and Kim I knew this was the place for me and these were my teachers from then on. As I continued the lessons under David and Kim's teaching, I was making rapid progress. As far as I am concerned in terms of elegance and style in Argentinian tango dancing, there is no other couple to match them in London. Their classes are extremely well structured and David is a very strict and passionate teacher who never gives up on his students. Kim and David ensure that you don’t leave the class unless you have learnt what was taught on that day. What is important in tango dancing, like anything else in life, is the continuity of lessons with a particular teacher. It is a good idea sometimes to try different workshops but you need one teacher whose style connects with you. David and Kim’s lessons are not just a series of tango moves but instruct you on how to dance with complete elegance and grace. Above all they are the only tango teachers I came across who are not totally money orientated and are more concerned with improving student performance on a weekly basis, building great relationships with their students and show genuine care for each and every student. If anybody wants to learn how to dance tango with elegance and feeling then David and Kim are your teachers.
