  • CLASS COMMENTS OF CECILIA GARCIA Y SERKAN GOKCESU BY STUDENTS

    1. I love their classes! Cecilia has a very special gift: She can articulate how movement originates in the core. The center of the body around the axis. The dance stars here in the body. Thank you Cecilia!

    2. The teachers are very imaginative and have a lot to offer. I am a beginner, so it's harder to follow but I am learning new things!

    3. I loved it! Very concise instructions. Me gusta muchisimo! Volver� la semana proxima! Great teaching!

    4. I really enjoyed their classes! They work on the technique which really improve the core of my dance! They have a great energy! Thanks!

    5. Awesome class!!! It was fantastic!!! I felt like I improved! Very good atmosphere and messages when well communicated!! They are beautiful to watch, too! I felt like they did a good job and paid attention to everyone equally. Thanks a bunch!

    6. J'aime beaucoup la m�thode d'enseignement de Serkan et Cecilia!!

    7. Cecilia and Serkan need to move to montreal!! I loved the class. I don't think I had the right background ( I am into my second trimester of tango.. ) but it was challenging and showed the base. Both of them have great personalities, it was a pleasure to have them as teachers. Also very talented and inspiring. Thanks Tango Fabrika for having them!!

    8. This is torture!! But I feel a lot more confident and feel like my body moves with music! You are great!!!

    9. Serkan y Cecilia are simply great ! Not only they are good dancers but also amazing teachers! Followers benefit as much as leaders , the progression is acurate and respectful and they are not here to impress but to see the students improve. Cecilia is always so precise and clear and her presence lightens the whole class! Thanks a lot!! - Manu

    10. J'ai une bonne premi�re impression du cours. C'�tait bien de revoir les pivots. Les profs sont sympathiques et m'ont l'aire bons. J'ai h�te de les voir la semaine prochaine!

    11. Excellent in refining the tchnique!. Enjoyed the insistance on the same move. I like the fact that the the body movement was explained to help us understand the move.

    12. I like the perfecting technics. Helps make the moves flow better.

    13. J'ai appr�ci� le cours, les explication �taient claires!

    14. Le cours est satisfaisent. J'aime la synamique de ce cours. Font agr�able. Comprend tr�s bien. Pros symphas. merci! - Suzanne

    15. I really appreciated the instruction for women! Enjoyed the class!

    16. Le cours �tait plus un cours d'ajustenant et position du corps j'ai au partenaire. C'�tait une autre fa�on de d�placement dans l'espace. J'ai bien aim� quoique un peu diff�rent de la technique habituelle plus th�orique. - Christine

    17. J'ai trouv� le cours int�ressant. Ils ont bien d�cortiqu� les mouvements pour qu'on les comprennent bien. J'ai aussi aim� la fa�on dont ils ont demontr� l'intention dans la marche. J,ai aussi trouv� int�ressant de faire comprendre les different points et '' sortant '' du tango

    18. Amazing! Very informative and loved the music at the end! - Vanesa

    21.J'ai suivi plusieurs classe et chacune est diff�rente de l'autre. Serkan y Cecilia ont tellement de choses � nous apprendre!!

    22. Serkan y Cecilia are awesome!! They emphasize how important it is to be present in ones body, to dance with intention. They are good at providing multiple ways to connect with the movement which is great since everyone learns in different ways. I came all the way from vancouver to dance montreal!

    23. Je trouve que le cours est tr�s bien! We do learn a lot of things, somethings too many at once! There is a line of idea. We start at A and finish at Z which is good because it allows us to understand the movement. My only comment to improve is comprehensive. I know I have to improve and I would like to receive more personal comments about what I do well or not.

    24. Very good teachers! Thank you!!

    33. I think Cecilia is the greatest dancer of milonga. I didn't know her and was surprised at her talent and knowledge, but also her humility. No big ego as we often see in tango dancers!

    34. Very good class! The exercise before the main movement are great to integrate the movement!!
