Valentina and Gem

Gem Duras received his tango training from the stars of the famous show "Forever Tango" most notably the legendary Carlos Gavito with whom he had the opportunity to study extensively for several years, incorporating his technique, elegance and musicality into his own dancing and teaching. Later he studied performance tango with Francisco Forquera in Argentina to become a certified instructor and tango dancer.

During his partnership with Dale Ellison, they have developed a reputation as dynamic Argentine Tango teachers and performers in milonguero, nuevo and performance styles of tango, teaching and performing throughout Connecticut, New York and California. They have traveled to Buenos Aires numerous times to perfect their technique by studying with Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, Osvaldo Zotto, Oscar Mandagaran, Chicho Frumboli, Geraldine Rojas and Susana Miller among others.

Gem recently performed and taught at the Stardust weekend upstate New York, and participated as a performer in the New Year’s Celebration event organized by Akademi Tango, in Ankara-Turkey. He has recently started a collaboration with Valentina Molina and together they taught for the Hartford Argentine Tango Society.
