Originating in Buenos Aires, Argentina, tango is an art form where dance, music, and poetry come together.

Argentine tango is an improvised dance: every dance is unique and created in the moment as the couple moves together. While it is built on a foundation of basic steps, it offers endless possibilities for nuance, expression, fluidity, and intensity, making it a captivating and deeply rewarding dance.

Tango is also a social tradition. People gather at tango events, known as milongas, to dance, connect, and share their love of tango. Over the years, Argentine tango has spread across the globe, becoming a lifelong passion for countless dancers. Today, tango is danced in every corner of the world.

Bryndís Halldórsdóttir and Hany Hadya are Iceland's first professional tango teachers and have played a pioneering role in developing the country's tango community. They have danced together for many years and trained with some of the world's leading tango masters. They are the founders and instructors of Tangóstúdíó (Tango Studio Iceland).
