More Than a Tango School.
A Community Built Around Beautiful Human Connections.

MalenaTango brings together people from different countries and backgrounds through Argentine Tango, inspiring experiences and genuine friendships.
Our Story
A Home Built One Dance at a Time

MalenaTango was born from a simple observation: something was missing in the local Tango scene — a place where technique mattered as much as warmth, and where newcomers felt like old friends from the very first evening. So Elena and Vincenzo set out to build exactly that: an international home where people don't just learn to dance, but grow together, one class and one milonga at a time

I
People come before performance.

IV
Tango creates meaningful human connections.
V
We celebrate diversity, curiosity and lifelong learning.
Meet the Founders
Elena & Vincenzo

Hosts of this community, not administrators of a school.
Elena Bulgakova-Rossier

CO-FOUNDER & TEACHER

Elena Rossier is a co-founder of MalenaTango Geneva, tango teacher, dancer and event organiser. An active competition dancer, she continues to train with internationally recognised maestros, with a particular interest in biomechanics, movement quality and the connection between physical preparation and tango. Her background in psychology, fitness and nutrition adds another dimension to the way she approaches both teaching and dancing.

Elena is also the creator of Elegant Tanguera, a body-training programme born from her own search for what was missing in conventional tango training. Rather than focusing primarily on steps and styling, it develops the physical foundations behind the movement: feet, balance, strength, mobility, posture and body awareness, connecting targeted exercises with tango practice at the barre.

As an organiser, Elena brings the same philosophy to MalenaTango: creating opportunities not only to learn, but to practise, perform, meet inspiring dancers and become part of a community. For her, tango is never just about dancing better — it is about building the body, understanding the movement, and then letting the tango happen.
Vincenzo Rollo

CO-FOUNDER & TEACHER

Vincenzo a commencé le tango argentin à Genève avant de perfectionner son style auprès de maestros internationalement reconnus en Argentine. Après une formation universitaire, c'est en 2006 qu'il se tourne vers la danse.
Une expérience riche et reconnue
Son parcours professionnel est marqué par une expérience solide et variée : maestro invité dans plusieurs festivals, membre de la troupe Luna Tango, enseignant pour de nombreuses écoles de danse en Suisse et en Europe, participant à des créations théâtrales autour du tango argentin, auteur de scripts de danse et de chorégraphies. En 2015, il ouvre sa propre école, Studiotango, à Genève. Aujourd'hui, aux côtés d'Elena Bulgakova, il poursuit son nouveau projet Malenatango — le duo a d'ailleurs remporté le Luna Milonguero Championship 2023 à Vichy, en France.
Style et professionnalisme
Son style s'inscrit dans la tradition classique du Tango Salon tout en explorant le Tango Escenario, avec une expérience confirmée dans plusieurs spectacles chorégraphiés — témoignage d'un véritable professionnalisme artistique et technique.
Une méthode d'enseignement à la fois traditionnelle et innovante
Son enseignement repose sur l'étude de mouvements progressifs, du plus simple au plus complexe, et sur l'apprentissage d'une technique de danse au service de l'expression de soi et de l'élégance du mouvement — une méthode d'enseignement qui allie rigueur traditionnelle et sensibilité innovante. Vincenzo tisse une technique précise avec un profond respect pour la dimension émotionnelle de la danse, aidant chaque élève à se sentir à la fois en confiance et inspiré. Clarté, humour et sensibilité musicale caractérisent chacun de ses cours ; il aime révéler comment de petits ajustements de posture et d'intention peuvent transformer la damse.

 
Co-fondateur de la communauté Malenatango
En tant que co-fondateur de Malenatango, Vincenzo incarne le cœur bienveillant de la communauté. Sa capacité managériale se traduit par sa faculté à fédérer élèves et danseurs autour d'un projet commun, à structurer l'enseignement et les événements de l'école, et à faire vivre une véritable communauté de tango à Genève et au-delà.
