In this talk we introduce the notions of the contact angle and of the holomorphic angle for immersed surfaces in $S^{2n+1}$. We deduce formulas for the Laplacian and for the Gaussian curvature, and we will classify minimal surfaces in $S^5$ with the two angles constant. This classification gives a 2-parameter family of minimal flat tori of $S^5$. Also, we will give an alternative proof of the classification of minimal Legendrian surfaces in $S^5$ with constant Gaussian curvature. Finally, we will show some remarks and generalizations of this classification.
