It is very important to that I am in a condition to dance at my absolute best when performing for or socializing with students and attendees.
- Unless it is absolutely necessary, Gaby (and partner) require a minimum of 2 hours of down time to recharge between classes and any event planned for the same night. Travel time from housing accommodations and the teaching or dance venue need to be factored into this down time.
- There must be a minimum of 10 hours between the last required task (such as judging a late night competition), and the next task (such as teaching or level testing).
- In addition, accommodations must have access to wifi Internet, since the majority of Gaby’s work revolves around being connected to the Internet.
