Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne

GISELLE ANNE ' BIO

​

Throughout her academic years of dance training, in the field of contemporary dance, ballet, folklore, etc. Giselle Anne simultaneously participated in the training of tango in an almost self-taught way, given the limited possibility of having tango teachers in the 80’s. Anyway she had the opportunity to take lessons from Antonio Todaro and Pepito Avellaneda two of the most recognized “milongueros” of the moment. At the same time, she participated in Argentine folklore shows, dancing with the University ballet of Buenos Aires ‘city.

Despite having initiated and organized impactful projects in the world of tango, Giselle Anne finished her higher education by graduating as a Ballet Dance Teacher after 10 years of studies at the National School of Dance in Buenos Aires.

 

With over 3 decades of professional experience, she has demonstrated her abilities as a dancer and choreographer by performing and teaching all over the world.

 

At the beginning of her career, Giselle Anne has worked with prestigious artists, including Libertad Lamarque, Argentino Ledesma, José Collangelo, etc., dancing on stage, while at the same time performing with milongueros such as “el Alemán” in several “milongas”, and participated in some tango films for cinema.

 

She was touring with Mariano Mores’ shows (since 1987) in Buenos Aires and provinces of Argentina, as well as Europe. 

 

She has participated in many Tango houses shows in Buenos Aires, including: "Michelangelo", "Tango Mío" with various Orquestras (1988-1990),

 

Her three Japan tours with the Los Solistas de D'Arienzo, Dragone, and Tripodi orchestras provided her with the chance to further develop her choreographic abilities. (1987-1990)

 

“Tango Argentino” show (1991-London) was the peak of her carrier, sharing a stage with the most renumbered tango dancers of Buenos Aires. 

During the five years of her residence in Spain (1992-1997), she worked intensely with tango, creating her own ballet, directing and performing all over Spain, and founding a school and inaugurating “Casa del Tango” (Tango House) in Seville. 

 

Performing in “Tango Pasión”, with Sexteto Mayor original Orchestra (with Libertella & Stazzo along with Berllingeri) in Europe and US (1997-1998), was another enriching experience. 

 

Other important performances like “Ball the la Rose” in Monte Carlo, many Theaters and Tango Festivals in Europe as well as Latin America completed her carrier before starting her partnership with Gustavo Naveira.

​

Giselle Anne has more than 35 years of experience in teaching tango. Her dance background led her to the analysis of tango movement and structure since her beginning. She has created Tango Technique classes when she was teaching in Europe alone and developed a solid method through all those years of teaching experience.

 

The presence and solidity of her dancing are perfectly balanced by the beauty of her movements, maintaining her dancing at the highest level.

​

She has been dancing with GUSTAVO NAVEIRA  since  1995. They met at a Tango Festival in Sitges, Spain, and since then they have been dancing together. The couple was really stablished in 1999 when they decided to build a profesional dance couple.

​

 

Inevitably, they began to build a tango methodology together that delves into the study of all aspects of danced tango. They are know for their intellectual approach to dance as teachers and their unique methodology in a Progressive way. This was tested throughout 7 years in the Studio they founded in Boulder, US in 2013, and was awarded the "Best Tango Academy" in 2018.

​

Also, they have created the "seminar" format with  a week long classes where they develop a unique subject to dive deeply  into all details. Those seminars were well attended in Buenos Aires since the year 2003 and later they brought them around the world.

​

Together they have created the  Show "Tango Generation" with versions of 3 and 5 couples. That show was performing from 2011- 2013 in America and Europe.

​

The Boulder Tango Festival was organized by G&G along 10 years (2010-2019) in their living city.

​

In 2021, a Documentary "The Naveira Method" was filmed with their stories by the Argentinian Tango Society from London/US.

​

In the 28 years  that Gustavo & Giselle have been dancing together, it's impossible to count exactly how many Tango Festivals they participated in around the world, teaching and bringing the art through their performances.
