About us
A welcoming learning space to dance, meet and belong awaits you!
This isn't just dance classes where you memorize a step and crave for the next.
It’s a space to explore Tango Argentino as a living practice that develops body awareness, connection, and the ability to truly meet yourself and another person in the dance.
You're warmly invited to be part of an international, English-speaking community where you’ll be guided to:
→ feel more at ease in your body
→ understand how movement and connection work in Tango Argentino
→ adapt to different dance partners and situations
→ experience Tango Argentino as a real dialogue instead of a performance or choreography
All levels are welcome, two left feet included, from complete beginners to experienced dancers who feel something is missing in their dance and want to go deeper. No dance partner or previous experience required.
Your teacher and facilitator
Jessica Gerdel is a certified Tango Argentino and Yoga teacher and movement educator with formal training in somatic practices and Dance/Movement Therapy. After having her own studio in Buenos Aires, life took her to Vienna, where she continues empowering people through body awareness and social dance.
In a world that mostly puts you to memorize steps to learn a dance or leaves you with half-answered questions, Jessica developed a full learning ecosystem where you don’t just learn what to do, but discover why and how movement works and becomes yours.
She creates a safe space to learn, experiment and have fun, where you can meet with yourself and others, and develop skills that actually work on and off the dance floor.
Jessica's learning ecosystem supports your process through:
• Weekly classes for beginners and improvers
• Guided practice sessions to integrate what you learn and explore beyond
• Tango Immersion Weekends to deepen specific topics
• Milonga Itinerante, a welcoming social space to dance, meet, and belong. Often with live music!
If you’re looking for a practice that can evolve with you over time, you’re in the right place.

Learn Tango Argentino from scratch
Hegelgasse 14, Hegelgasse 14, 1010 Wien, Austria, Wien, ATGet ready to step up your dance game with Tango Argentino in a fun, easy-going class, even if you think you have two left feet!
You don't need previous experience and, if you have any, this course will give you perspective and a good understanding of how the Tango Argentino language works.
We’ll break down the fundamental tango patterns, understand their internal structure, and explore the movement principles that make them possible.
Alongside the course, a weekly Focused Práctica · Tango Training Space helps what you learn in the classes land in your body and stay with you.
By week 8, you'll be able to walk onto a social floor and dance with someone you've never met, using the essential movements that form the Tango Argentino vocabulary. Afterwards, you can continue learning more variations and progressively more complex patterns at our Tango Improver course.
