Norwalk/Milford

Originally San Francisco residents, Gem and Dale received their tango training from the stars of the famous show “Forever Tango” most notably Carlos Gavito. Jorge "Gem" Duras had the opportunity to study with legendary Gavito extensively for several years, incorporating his technique, elegance and musicality into his own dancing and teaching. He studied performance with another member of the cast, Francisco Forquera in Argentina.

Initially an expert salsa dancer and instructor, Dale was drawn to tango for its sensuality and passion, later winning the first prize in the first San Francisco Tango Competition in 1998.They have traveled to Buenos Aires numerous times to perfect their technique by studying with Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, Osvaldo Zotto, Lorena Ermocida, Chicho Frumboli, Geraldine Rojas, Susana Miller, Graciela Gonzales and Marcela Duran, among others.
