(Bio & Teaching Philosophy)
Saturday, February 16th
5:30p-7:30p Tango is About the Connection (Adv. Beginners and beyond)–
Gabriela has shared her approach to tango through the prism of connection across the country, both through her book When 1+1=1: That “Impossible” Connection and her tango teaching. This is her signature workshop: an introduction, a reminder, an excuse to slow down and listen, really listen to one another so that connecting becomes the foundation of the dance. From there, the possibilities are endless. Tango is about connecting with your partner, with those who share the space with you, and with yourself. Tango is About the Connection. (testimonials)
Sunday, February 17th
4:00p-6:00p Good Things Happen in Small Spaces (Adv. Beginners and beyond)–
When we dance at a milonga, we dance not only with our partner but with all of the couples on the dance floor. Managing limited resources in tight places requires clarity, creativity and a more flexible mentality. It requires us to be more patient with one another and develop a more elastic approach. This workshop will explore awareness, presence, and intention and the magic that happens in small spaces.
Followed by Studio 1924's Milonga!

----------------------------- Bio & Philosophy ----------------------------
Gabriela on teaching tango:
“I teach tango with the idea that the connection comes first; that if you can build a good connection, the possibilities are endless. Tango is about what is, not what should be. Each tango is unique and each person brings something exceptional to the dance. Since the tango couple is more than just the sum of its parts, you can’t dance tango by yourself. Tango is about the connection with your partner, with those who share the space with you, and with yourself.” (video -->)

Private Lessons with Gabriela:
Gabriela Condrea teaches private lessons for beginning-advanced men, women, (follows, leads) and pairs and has done so all over the United States. Her focus is developing the connection, in the dance overall and in specific areas of difficulty. Gabriela's approach is holistic, seeking to shape her students' dance from the inside-out. In the more intimate setting of private instruction, she has the opportunity to address deeper issues particular to each individual or couple. (Please contact Gabriela for availability)
