Oktango was founded by Octavian Janner in 2004. Octavian's clear,
methodical style of teaching and his passion for dance has inspired
thousands of people to enjoy learning and dancing tango with us.
To help you learn, we regularly invite top teachers from London and abroad
to share their expertise.
"I really enjoy how Octavian gives people a sense of the discipline involved, with a light
touch and a sense of humour so everyone feels relaxed. He had complete beginners
dancing around the space by the end of an evening."

"I like Oktango because of the different styles of teachers, as
students have different ways of learning.
For example, Frances is excellent at teaching technique, tweaking
what you do bit by bit and seeing what each person in the class is
doing so she can progressively improve their style.
Octavian makes you concentrate on the passion you put into the
dance and the frame of mind you have to be in, often going right
back to basics to improve your overall understanding of the
dance."
