We teach Argentine tango here in Vienna. And, to be honest, we are not nearly as posh as this poser picture. But, we promise you, our tango is! ;) We are here to bring you closer to the essence of this dance, its culture and the world of dancing in an embrace. 
We are happy you are here! Our focus in teaching tango will always be clarity. We help people understand movement, timing, and connection so you can start enjoying dancing sooner, healthier and with more ease. That is why we are all here, for fun and joy, right? 
Our lessons are for curious, open-minded people who enjoy learning and asking questions and are ready to dive into discovering themselves and this beautiful dance. If that sounds like you, we are happy you are here! 

We teach tango through something your body already understands: movement.No fancy muscle names required. Although, if anatomy helps you understand something better, we’re happy to go there too.Instead, we use everyday movements, simple metaphors and clear principles that your body can recognise, feel and reproduce.Because we’re not interested in giving you more and more sequences to copy. We want to give you the foundation to create your own tango to understand what you’re doing, make choices in the moment, and develop a style that actually feels like you.We also know that everyone learns differently and at their own pace. Our job is to give you the tools, explanations and support you need to build your own dance.Our classes are structured, practical and often a little myth-busting. And when we hear “Aaaah, that makes sense now!”, we know we’re doing something right. Those are our favourite words. Because once you understand the why and the how, tango becomes a playground for music, movement and connection.Tango isn’t about dancing like your teacher.
It’s about understanding movement deeply enough to dance as yourself.

ANA TOT

I’ll tell you a story.

There was a little girl who climbed tables and chairs at every family gathering, performed magic tricks for anyone who would watch, and danced at every possible occasion.

There was really only one option: send her to dance classes.

Years later, those classes turned out to be her calling. From a state ballet school to the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy, Ana has been exploring movement for as long as she can remember.

Along the way, her curiosity took her deeper into the body — anatomy, biomechanics, alignment, the use of the ground, and the relationship between the centre and the movement.

Then she found tango.

Her love for South American culture and life brought her to Buenos Aires, where she encountered tango for the first time. She was immediately drawn to its history, its musical depth and its particular way of combining structure with improvisation.

That improvisation — the uncertainty, freedom and constant creation of something that has never happened before — became an important part of how she understands movement.

Today, Ana brings her contemporary dance background into tango with a strong focus on natural and efficient movement, axis and alignment, grounding, musicality and body awareness.

She is interested in what happens when we stop forcing movement and start understanding that our body knows already where and how we are supposed to move.

JORGE

Born and raised in Argentina, Jorge grew up surrounded by tango.

Long before he started dancing, tango was already part of his world — through its music, culture, atmosphere and the everyday life around it.

When dance eventually entered the picture, he discovered another side of tango: the embrace, the subtle communication between two people, and the endless possibilities of expressing something together without knowing exactly what will happen next.

Curiosity took him deep into the dance. Over the years, Jorge studied with many influential tango teachers, including Rodolfo “El Chino” Aguerre & Miho Omaki, Gustavo Naveira, Gustavo Rosas, Sebastián Arce & Mariana Montes, Mariano “Chicho” Frúmboli & Juana Sepúlveda, Graciela González, Olga Besio, and many others.

Since 1999, Jorge has been living, teaching and performing throughout Europe. Based in Vienna, he is the founder of Tanto-Tango Studio and has also choreographed for theatre productions, short films, and the Academy Award–winning film The Counterfeiters.

With more than 25 years of teaching experience, Jorge has learned that good tango teaching is not about making things complicated. It is about finding the clarity within the complexity.

His focus is on helping dancers understand the conversation between two bodies — how movement is initiated, how it is received, and how both partners can stay active, comfortable and free.

For Jorge, technique is not there to make tango look impressive.

It is there to make dancing possible.
