GISELA NAVONIT

She trained in various dance techniques from an early age at the  National Dance School Nigeria Soria, studying Classical Dance,  Contemporary, Jazz, Contact Improvisation, and Sensory Perception, until  she encountered Tango at age 15.
She has been working with tango in  Barcelona, Spain, since 1998. In this city, she has developed her work  as a teacher and organizer of diverse activities related to this dance.
Outside  of Spain, she has participated in tango events and festivals in France,  England, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, the United  States, Uruguay, and Argentina. She has also been part of the  organization, programming, and management of cultural spaces in  Barcelona (El Desbande/La Ravalera) and in Montevideo (La Orilla Espacio  Creativo).
TangoNeta! has been her open invitation since  2004—addressed to both dancers and musicians—to develop, through  experiential and reflective practice, the ongoing exploration that tango  offers. The event has evolved over the years, with editions in  Barcelona (Spain), Cardona (Spain), Naples (Italy), and Rosario  (Argentina). www.tangoneta.com
Her study of tango as an  improvisational dance is enriched by drawing from other movement  techniques (Tai Chi, Contact Improvisation, Instant Composition, BMC,  Yoga, among others) and through shared research with other teachers,  musicians, artists, and students.
