concert

In 2018 Gianpiero and Lorena begin their partnership, working every day on the flow of tango connection, based on their deep mutual understanding. They are moved by the research on the analysis of an always more precise and effective didactic method, later just called the Method, and his procedures, with the aim of providing the expressive Art of Tango of a sharp, accurate but also meaningful, deep, and truthful tool of communication.

Gianpiero Ya Galdi was only 12 when his father (engineer, martial art teacher, and tango lover) involved him in a free project for the youngster to approach tango. He fell in love with tango during his first trip to Buenos Aires when he was only 15 and since then he has been studying with all the major Maestros. He became a teacher the following year and started performing in Italy and abroad at 18, realizing that he wanted to dedicate his life to tango. Since then, he has had the chance to travel around and perform with lots of great dancers, such as Mila Vigdorova, Corina Herrera, Cesira Miceli, Nadia Hronidu, and last but not the least, with Maria Filali. Tango and his pedagogy are strictly connected to his studies of music, engineering, and bio-mechanic as “a simple and efficient technique, based on natural laws and aware listening, as the key to free the real and intimate spirit of tango”. For more than a decade, he has been developing a thorough didactic and intriguing training method. Moreover, in order to deepen his research, he also graduated in Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science with a dissertation on Functional Training Method for Tango; and in 2019 he became a trainer or Gyrotonic method.

Lorena Tarantino has been studying dance and ballet since she was five years old, and at 17 she met Tango thanks to Gianpiero. She got immediately passionate about the didactic and the care that is dedicated to the delicate psyche of the amateurs of this complex art. Under Gianpiero’s guide, she undertook her professional path. Meanwhile, she graduated in Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science at the University of Salerno, with a thesis on the pedagogy and educational inclusion of Tango for teenagers. In 2015 she begins studying, teaching, performing, and traveling in partnership with Giovanni Cocomero, with whom she collaborated in many projects led by Gianpiero as Gtango School. In 2019 she became a trainer of the Gyrokinesis method.
