“With over 25 years of experience teaching movement, communication, and embodiment, Aga creates a space where beginners feel instantly at ease.

From international guests to influencers and cultural campaigns, she is known for making elegance accessible – one step at a time.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the Viennese waltz workshop led by Aga and her assistant Nico! Aga’s teaching philosophy and style makes learning Viennese waltz very accessible for anyone, regardless of one’s level of prior ballroom experience. Aga carefully guided us step by step (literally!) through the fundamentals and made sure that the learning process was fun and engaging for all. She continually provided encouragement and individualized attention to each couple throughout the workshop. We left the workshop eager to learn more and to stay connected through the “Waltz Club” online community, which anyone completing this workshop can join.”– recent guest

“An excellent hours dancing lesson
Dance teacher very good at identifying what you can do and working on what you’re ready to do next. Good tuition and practice with basic steps and also learned some techniques for getting back on track quickly if you loose your timing.”

“Perfect!
If you dance and you visit Vienna, a Viennese Waltz lesson is a must. I was lucky enough to find The Private Dance Academy of Waltz in Vienna in my online research. We had a wonderful one hour private lesson with Aga, who was patient (with Americans who start not the wrong foot) and very informative. She not only expertly coached our Viennese Waltz, but told us about the traditions and etiquette of the ball and the history of the waltz.”
