About

TriANGulO was founded by Carina Moeller in 1997 and many dancers fondly remember walking the cobblestone streets of the Meatpacking District to get to the original location of the studio above the Two Flags Butcher Supply Co. The triangular space inspired TriANGulO’s name, which was kept when the studio moved to its location on West 20th Street. 20th Street location was famous for the Mural painted by Russel Buckingham. People came form all of the world to dance at TriANGulO .After loosing the location there and the Iconic Mural we where still able to stay in Chelsea and moved into our new Boutique Tango and Gyrotonic Studio: Location 289 7th Avenue between 26th and 27th Street on the 4th Floor. We have been fortunate to have had the Studio always full time so no rushing out after class or having to stop class quickly because other classes are coming in, like it is often the case in hourly rentals. Everybody is welcome to hang out after class and keep practicing with fellow Students. We have been building the Tango Community for over 27 years and people found lifelong friends through our Studio .

TriANGulO offers a variety of group classes at a range of levels. This ensures that whatever your background may be - whether you are an absolute beginner or an experienced tanguero/a, we offer classes that will strengthen your foundation, enrich your technique and enhance your repertoire of steps. Dive into the Tango Community.
