"Without any doubt, Graciela Gonzalez appears among the most significant pedagogues of the history of the tango. She is characterized by a spirit of innovation which always respects the authentic roots of the tango.

Graciela's method is the fruit of years of study. Her study has been dedicated to the study of the language of the body and to the analysis of sensations received when dancing with milongueros. www.gracielagonzalez.com

Workshops with Graciela Gonzalez

911 Tango Commute


posted on You Tube by Amy Zheng
"9/11 is being remembered for the loss of life but will be empowered by an expression of the love for living. TangoCommute is turning the tragic events into some positive action while remembering and supporting those who were directly affected by the tragedy since:
Terror is an act of intimidation spreading fear. Tango - on the opposite - is an expression of freedom generating joy Music "Abrazame" - you do not only say to anything abrazame to me. your glance is enough to me to include/understand that your wraths. abrazame, as if outside now the first time as if you wanted to me today just as yesterday, abrazame. If your you go away and you forgot that a day for a long time back, when eramos even young you began to me to love and I gave my life you if you go away.----If your you go away me kedara silence to talk, the shade of your body and solitude seran my companions if you go away, if your you go away Iran with you the time
time and my better age, you seguire keriendo every day but will hope to me to that you return if you go away."
