WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT GABRIELA's WORKSHOPS...
"The easiest, and yet most compelling dance class I've ever been to in my life." — Nancy, 2017
"It's out of the head, and into more of a movement or a flow." — Nathan, 2015
“I appreciate your ability to connect dancers both on and off the dance floor. You create an environment that is relaxed and inviting [and] I’ve easily connected with others at your classes... Thank you for facilitating connection on all levels!” — Traci, 2013
FAQS
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing or dress it up. The important thing is shoes: wear shoes that allow you to pivot/spin (i.e., do not grip the floor), that are secure on your feet (i.e., no flip-flops), and that you can walk comfortably in — and that are gentle on our wood floor. :) If in doubt, feel free to bring an extra pair with you. You can also turn almost any comfortable shoe into a dance shoe by placing an old sock over the front half of the shoe. This should allow you to pivot easily.
What's the refund policy?
No refunds. However, the class slot is transferrable to someone who will dance the same role (follow or lead) as the original registration. Contact tangoisabouttheconnection@gmail.com with details no later than Sept 2, 2024.
