GB TANGO ACADEMY

The GB TANGO ACADEMY is one of the largest Argentine Tango academies in Europe, founded in 2015 by artistic director Guillermo Berzins. The academy boasts a team of instructors carefully selected among the best in the artistic scene, with outstanding methodological expertise. Its extensive offerings include group lessons for all levels, private individual lessons, competition training and personalized choreographies, performances, weekly milongas, and tango practice sessions.

Located in the heart of Trieste, Italy, GB TANGO ACADEMY is housed in one of the stunning historic buildings that define the Austro-Hungarian neoclassical architecture. The academy is a 360° center of Tango culture, currently hosting over 250 students, not only from the local area but also from other Italian cities and neighboring countries such as Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia.

The facility features two spacious halls with elegant oak flooring, mirrors, and barres, perfectly designed to meet the needs of dancers. The air conditioning system ensures an ideal microclimate for all activities offered by the academy. Students have access to separate changing rooms for men and women, as well as an elegant relaxation area where dancers can rest, socialize, or simply wait for their lessons to begin. In this space, they can read one of the many books from the academy's library, listen to tango music from CDs or vinyl records, watch videos, or enjoy a drink served at the bar.

Furthermore, the GB Tango Academy features a dedicated space for style: the Tinta Roja Showroom, offering exclusive collections of tango shoes and clothing for both women and men. All items are handmade in Italy using high-quality materials and crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a distinctive and comfortable look.

METHODOLOGY

Thanks to a personalized approach, the academy ensures a fast and in-depth learning experience of Argentine Tango, based on research and exploration of natural movement. Through body awareness and emotional mastery, our goal is to guide students toward a free and unstructured form of improvisation, starting from their existing abilities and progressively developing them so they can fully express their own unique style.

The annual program is divided into three course cycles, structured across different levels: the first cycle runs from September to December, the second from January to April, and the third takes place in May and June, featuring specialized thematic courses.

The courses are designed to welcome students of all levels, from absolute beginners taking their first steps into the world of Argentine Tango to advanced dancers looking to refine their technique or pursue a professional path. All students will benefit from the experience and professionalism of highly qualified instructors with solid training and expertise.
