Marija has been immersed in the arts from an early age, drawn to dancing, theater, music, and photography. Her journey began with Latin and standard dances and expanded to piano, singing and writing poetry. During high school, her passion for storytelling and performance led her to join youth theater groups, direct theatre plays and performances, and volunteer with children from vulnerable backgrounds. She furthered her dedication to the arts by graduating from the Acting Department of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Skopje, where she developed skills in classical ballet and classical dances as well as world folk dances and stage movement.

Fifteen years ago, after finishing her studies, Marija rediscovered her love for dance and encountered Argentine tango, a moment that profoundly influenced her life. Tango captivated her with its elegance, depth, and endless possibilities for exploration. Although she learned the basics quickly, Marija believes the beauty of tango lies in its infinite layers, offering constant opportunities for growth and discovery. Her love for learning and delving deeply into new challenges made tango a natural fit.

Alongside her tango journey, Marija co-founded a dance theater for children and youth with close friends and colleagues. This project remains one of her greatest passions, combining her love for dance and theater to inspire younger generations through creative expression. There she works as an educator, choreographer, director, playwright together with the whole team.

Marija’s teaching career in tango began organically. When the Skopje tango scene was still small and modest, she naturally stepped into a guiding role, helping newcomers and sharing her knowledge to encourage them to join the growing community. Over time, her dedication and passion for introducing others to the magic of tango helped build Familija Tangovi into the largest and oldest tango school in Skopje.

As an instructor, Marija takes a personalized approach, recognizing that each student learns differently. She believes that great teaching requires understanding when and how to provide the right guidance. Marija’s goal is not just to teach steps but to help her students develop a deeper awareness of themselves, their bodies, and their connections with others.

For Marija, tango is a dance of self-expression, a journey of continuous learning, and a gateway to new friendships and experiences. She continues to expand her own knowledge by attending workshops and classes with some of the world’s most renowned tango maestros. Her ultimate aim is to help students overcome the fear of mistakes because, as she believes, mistakes are what make us grow.

At Familija Tangovi, Marija shares the beauty, freedom, and magic of tango with everyone, showing how this dance can enrich lives in countless ways.
She has been a tango DJ for over a decade, curating music for numerous international tango events as well as local milongas.

For Zoran, tango is more than a dance—it's an important part of his life, offering an escape from his busy work and merging his love for traveling, socializing, and making friends worldwide. His students adore him for his easy-going nature, his ability to quickly connect with everyone, and for creating a relaxed learning environment where mistakes are welcomed and shared knowledge flows freely.

Svetlana has always found dancing to be a meaningful part of her life. From kindergarten celebrations and school performances to founding a girl-power dance group, music and movement have been her way of expressing emotions, channeling energy, and finding her place in the world. For her, every dance was a step closer to self-discovery and building self-esteem.
Before entering the world of tango, Svetlana danced Zumba and other Latin-inspired styles. Tango, as many say, finds you at just the right moment—and it stays. Her first encounter with the magic of tango was during her stay in Uruguay, one of tango’s cradles, where dancing became a way to understand history and the emotions of an entire society.
Years later, just when she needed it most, Svetlana stumbled upon a live performance by her local tango community. Seizing the moment, she signed up for lessons. That was 12 years ago, and she has since dedicated herself to continuous growth—exploring not just the dance itself but the deeper philosophy of tango and its connection to life.
Tango has empowered Svetlana, helping her overcome insecurities, strengthen her leadership abilities, and become a better version of herself. Today, as an instructor, she finds joy in sharing her experience and inspiring young people through the art of tango.
For Svetlana, living is tango.
