Andrea Valeria Gavilanes Lidioma
Andrea has been immersed in music and dance since birth. Even before she was born, growing up in the womb in Ecuador, she was already absorbing the rhythms of the marimba and the sounds of Andean folklore. This deep, early bond with music became the foundation for her lifelong journey in dance.
At the age of seven, Andrea moved to Madrid, where she began exploring urban dance styles and expanding her artistic expression. Before relocating to Austria, she was part of a traditional folklore dance group in Ecuador, performing regularly on stage—experiences that shaped her presence, discipline, and love for cultural dance.
Now based in Vienna, Andrea has been teaching various Latin dance styles for over five years. She shares her passion with people of all ages and levels, always with warmth and dedication. Her teaching style is playful, music-focused, and rooted in rhythm and feeling. With a strong emphasis on musicality, Andrea helps her students connect more deeply to their bodies and the music—empowering them to discover their own movement, dance with joy, and express themselves with confidence.
