Argentine Tango Classes

We are 100% focused on your progress and experience during class. We deliver world class teaching with fantastic energy in every class. Our classes end with an improvised tango by Jacqueline and Anthony, demonstrating the moves learnt. You will then have time to stay back and dance after the class. Our students love this more informal time to practice their skills and catch up with their friends.

Bridal Dance Classes

We offer private bridal dance lessons ensuring that you will get the best instruction possible tailored to your needs. Our choreographs are individually created to suit your imagination. From a simple but elegant styled and structured wedding dance to a fully choreographed Tango. Learning together, enjoying the time away from the stress of the preparation. We can help you to choose the music or you bring your own music.

Jacqueline Gutierrez Simpson, born in Chile, initiated her Tango journey in 1995 and 2001, she started teaching in Sydney, Australia. From 2001 to 2006, she worked for The World Tango Festival in Buenos Aires as an interpreter for the classes of Argentinean maestros like Juan Carlos Copes, Maria Nieves, Javier Rodriguez, Geraldine Rojas, Tete Rusconi and many others. Jacqueline was one of the founders of Sydney Tango 2003 – 2022 and one of the directors of Tango Entre Amigos from 2001 to 2017.
