About Us
TAKE one STEP
DISCOVER TANGO
Vienna Tango School began as a collaboration between three tango dancers who fell in love with the dance’s unique blend of connection, artistry, and community. Determined to share that joy with others, they created a welcoming space where anyone—regardless of age or experience—can discover the magic of Argentine tango. Today, Vienna Tango School fosters a vibrant, supportive environment in Northern Virginia, uniting new and experienced dancers alike in the timeless tradition of tango.
Together, we invite you to step into the music, meet new friends, and experience the shared passion that brought our founders together in the first place.
Meet the Team
Melody Yazdani Zhang
Cofounder
Melody Yazdani Zhang stumbled upon tango by chance over 11 years ago, and it quickly became the lifeline she needed as a busy single mom. Since then, she’s traveled the world to dance and studied with acclaimed maestros. She believes that if you can walk, you can dance.
For Melody, the connection between partners, the embrace, and true mindfulness define tango’s magic. She loves how tango offers a peaceful escape from a fast-paced world, fosters lasting friendships (and marriages!), and provides the thrill of endless learning.
Jon Zhang
Cofounder
Jon began dancing tango in 2007 while studying engineering at Cornell University. He describes tango as difficult, but ultimately deeply rewarding, noting that it provides a rare outlet for creative expression that nurtures the soul.
During his time in Ithaca, New York, Jon served as both an organizer and a DJ, fostering a close-knit tango community before relocating to the Washington, D.C. area a decade ago. Ever since, he’s been an active member of the D.C. tango scene, continuing to share his passion for the dance and its unending possibilities.
Amanda Garley
Cofounder
Amanda Garley first discovered tango in the summer of 2009 while studying to become an engineer. The timing was ideal, awakening her to life’s real joys: connecting with others, finding balance, being confident in who she is, taking life by the horns, recognizing perfection in imperfection, and remaining open to unexpected discoveries.
She has spent half of her tango journey exploring how best to teach the dance, deepening her understanding of tango’s essence, its fundamental challenges, and the ways to help others reach satisfaction in their own dance. Now, she is thrilled to continue this journey through the Vienna Tango School, sharing her passion and expertise with new and seasoned dancers alike.
