She has been dancing tango regularly in New York City and Buenos Aires since 2000 and has studied with among others Julio Balmaceda and Corina De La Rosa, Milva Bernardi, Carlos Gavito, Graciela Gonzalez, Raul Poli, Elina Roldan and Omar Vega. Ann-Sophie considers tango the ultimate dance and a perfect milonga the ultimate moment.
