With a background in yoga, fine art, and life coaching, Veronika's teaching is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, creativity and personal growth. She is passionate about strong fundamentals, believing they empower students to dance with confidence, authenticity, and expressive freedom.
Veronika has studied with many world-renown instructors, explored a variety of styles from salon, milonguero, and nuevo, and is fluid in both the roles of follower and leader as well as different modes of embrace including close, open and everything in between.

Student Testimonials:
“Veronika has an energizing passion for teaching tango, and the personal magic happens due to her dedication and ability to give specific feedback to make sure you leave with your dancing improved! She knows how to reinforce learning in a variety of ways until you get it, and how to challenge you just the right amount so you improve step by step, day by day. In my private lesson with Veronika, as always, she has the knack for literally walking me through where I'm stuck. She knows how to balance constructive feedback with praise, so you know she's being honest while showing you respect for the work you've done, and encouraging you to keep working. And, have I mentioned that she is soooo fun?!”
