Practiced in about seventy European cities, fifty in America, thirty in Asia, twenty in Africa and Oceania, tango

Corinne Krikorian

Passionate about dance since a young age and about Tango since 2003, Corinne Krikorian started her journey in Montreal learning from experienced Argentine teachers such as Julio Otero and Tomas Howlin. She moved to Buenos Aires to deepen her knowledge and trained with renowned tango Masters such as Gustavo Naveira, Tate Di Chiazza, Mariana Dragone & Caroline Bonaventura to mention a few. Since her return, she has devoted herself entirely to teaching Argentine tango joining Montreal Gotan as a teacher, professional dancer and event organizer. She also teaches abroad focusing mostly on technique & connexion for she believes: "The only reason for mastering technique is to ensure the body does not prevent the soul from expressing itself".  Now a co-owner of Gotan, she also takes care of a milonga (tango dance evening) where she promotes all sorts of Artists visual & other within the community by organizing special events.  Inspired by her Masters, she hopes to transmit her passion and love for Tango and help her students to discover the wonders of this incredible dance. www.tangobellanima.com

Gerard Derminasyan

has been involved in the study and pursuit of dance since the age of eighteen. He trained in classical dance technique, dance sport, flamenco and tango. He continues to pursue the classical dance form

to transmit information on posture, alignment, anatomy, balance and technique in movement to apply to other dance forms. He currently dedicates himself completely to argentine tango.
Since 2002, Gérard dedicates himself exclusively to argentine tango
especially its classic form of tango salon . In 2006 and 2007 he trained with some renowned tango teachers in Buenos Aires including Fabian Peralta, Fernando Galera , Julio and Corina Balmaceda, Carolina Bonaventura , Christina Cortez, Osvaldo Zotto, Daniel Lapadula , Gustavo Naivera , Andres Laza Moreno and others. On stage Gerard has performed in different productions including Carmen (Opera de Montreal , Opera Lyra Ottawa), Un Dia Flamenco (National Arts Centre) , Abrazos (National Arts Centre), Alice in Wonderland (Les Petits Ballets ) , and recently in Buenos Aires with Ballet Mariposita (Tango) under the direction of Carolina Bonaventura and Francisco Forquera. In his teaching, Gerard emphasizes the walk and the connection in close embrace as the most important elements of Tango Salon. He gradually builds tango vocabulary as students learn communication, elegance, emotional connection and improvisational skills. He emphasizes technique to build, precision, smoothness and musicality. As much as performing, teaching is his true passion where he loves to transmit his knowledge on posture, alignment, technique of movement, and emotion using a holistic approach to dance.
