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!

  3. Too bad your route doesn't meander a little more NORTH to MN! Perhaps we will align with one of your other stops...

  4. Hi there! I'm working on setting specific dates, so I do hope to get a chance to meet you at another stop. Thanks so much for your interest in my tour and I do hope yo make it to MN sometime soon.

  5. This sounds so exciting! Maybe we could get you to come to tangOmaha! That would be 3 hours north of Kansas City.
    I've posted this on tangOmaha!'s FB page and I'll talk to some of the other dancers. Shelly Fritz the owner of The DelRay is having a tango event Sept 21st,live tango music, in Lincoln, Nebraska and you might work well with that.

  6. Hi tangOmaha! Yes, I could possibly do that. Please keep me posted and I'll check out the tangOmaha FB page. Hope to meet you soon!

    1. Besides tangOmaha and the DeRay Ballroom, there are other tango opportunities in Nebraska. I can set you up with book signings in Lincoln and with other communities between Lincoln and Denver. I'll get in touch with you.
