Welcome to Tango Burnaby!
I’m Geraldine ‘Gigi’ Goyer
Founder and principal instructor.
My love for dance spans over 35 years, with a special passion for Argentine Tango, which I discovered mid-career.
Inspired by my studies with esteemed Tango masters and my desire to spread this beautiful art, I opened our studio.
Tango Burnaby is more than a place to learn—it’s a community where dancers of all levels find joy, connection, and growth.
I’m thrilled to share this dance that has so deeply enriched my life with you.
Our Mission
At Tango Burnaby, our mission is to spread the joy, elegance, and passion of Argentine Tango.
We believe in making Tango accessible to everyone, regardless of their dance background or skill level.
Our goal is to empower our students to express themselves through dance, connect deeply with others, and enjoy the rich cultural heritage of Argentine Tango.
Our Approach
Our teaching philosophy centers on connecting students with the music, their dance partners, and the dance floor.
We focus on the foundational aspects of Tango such as the walk, the embrace, and musicality, ensuring that our students not only learn the steps but also understand the soul of Tango.

What Our Members Say
I’ve really enjoyed tango classes with Gigi. Gigi creates a warm, supportive atmosphere while teaching with professionalism, clarity, and attention to detail. The classes beautifully combine technique, musicality, and connection, making learning both enjoyable and inspiring. I always leave class feeling more confident and motivated. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced dancers!
Julia BThis is a fabulous and flexible dance training operation headed up by Geraldine Goyer. I have worked with her in many of her lesson groups and individual training over the past several years, and continue to attend lessons, milongas, special guest seminars and intensives. The rates for group lessons, milongas, and drop-ins are very reasonable. The two primary venues for Tango Burnaby are both perfect for their floors, their spaces, and their acoustics.
Lance RuckerGigi is a great tracher and she makes the dance moves easy to understand and follow. Since my husband and I started taking classes with her, we’ve become even more passionate about learning tango.Besides, her warm personality makes the class much more fun and enjoyable.
Mahsa DamirchiGigi is a great dancer and teacher with enthusiasm and passion! My wife and I joined her Tango class for fun and also to get some idea for the first dance of our wedding. We enjoyed it. Class is friendly for beginners and easy to follow. Then we decided to take the private classes with her for our first dance. Gigi worked with us on choreography, which helps to make the dance the best suit for us. The first dance is a success. Many thanks to Gigi!
