About Us...
Cyla is a life-long dancer originally from Brazil with a background in tango, ballet, jazz, modern, samba, and West African dances, as well as yoga and the flowing arts. For thirteen years, she has primarily devoted herself to Argentine Tango, and her love for community building and the dance led her to teach and organize events. She is also a hula hoop dancer and teaches hula hoop dancing and hula hoop yoga.
Cyla holds a Masters Degree in Education, and brings her additional experience and skills as a professional educator to her approach to teaching Argentine Tango.
Gustavo Fernandez has been dancing tango socially since the year 2000, when he started in his native Argentina, learning from teachers such as Veronica Gai, Daniel Nacucchio, Lucas Galera, Fabian Peralta, Carolina del Rivero and Fabian Salas, among others. Gustavo is a social dancer and an alumnus of the Hartt School of Music, where he earned his Master of Music degree in Classical Guitar in 2007 under the tutelage of Richard Provost. Gustavo is an active social dancer and has taught tango lessons for the Ministry of Tourism in his native Mendoza, Argentina, as well as for the Community Division of the Hartt School and the Yale Tango Club. He believes in an approach that combines respect and knowledge of traditional forms but also appreciation for modern techniques that move tango forward into the future. Gustavo is also a music producer and has created some original electronic music for dancing under the name Gustavo Noli.
