S1E9 Andrea Gia (New York City)

Andrea Giammattei is an organizer, teacher, and DJ on the NYC Fusion partner dance scene. Andrea’s background is a fusion of many disciplines which explain why fusion partner dance is her guilty pleasure. Andrea Giammattei has led workshops in the US, Canada, and Europe for over 20 years. Andrea combines the artistic disciplines of acting, theatre, dance, and the discipline of psychology to create expansive opportunities for people to be empowered in their fullest expression. Andrea’s dance background spans a wide range of individual and partner dance styles, culminating in her love affair with Fusion partner dancing for its irreverence, freedom to create, and unique partnering connection. Her work, Dancing for Life and Evoke Fusion Dance are about the intersection of how music touches us, how we share our stories through dance, and how being present with another dancer evokes a mutual meditation, evoking moving mosaics of human expression and connection through dance. Her workshops and DJ’d sets are a journey of emotion, depth, and playfulness through diverse music and experiences.
