US Tour Schedule/Route

With a couple boxes full of books, a sleeping bag, my tango shoes (of course), and no, I won't forget the Yellow Hippopotamus, I'm hitting the road, literally around the US.  Here's the outline for my US Book & Tango Tour so far.  I'll fill in the details as I move along.  I want to take full advantage of the fact that this is a road trip, so I'm flexible about making stops along my route.  If you have a recommendation for a place I should stop

for a book/tango event or want to set up an event, workshop, or a private lesson along my route, please contact me (www.gabrielacondrea.com).  If you're in any of these cities, I hope to see you and your dancing feets! Route: From Seattle down the West Coast, across the South, up the East Coast, Canada, Midwest, and back to Seattle (April 12 – October) -- an estimated 10,500 miles.

Want to support my US Book & Tango Tour?  Thank you!
