Behind Pausa y Danza are Angie and Gus, two souls united by their love for food, nature, and conscious living.


Angie’s journey, shaped by her mother’s wisdom and her own path toward a healthier relationship with food, led her to see nourishment as a ritual of balance and presence.

Gus, once immersed in the fast pace of professional kitchens, rediscovered purpose in slowing down and honoring ingredients with joy and intention.


Together, they’ve created a space to pause, reconnect, and celebrate the sacred dance of nourishing the body and spirit.

What Our Guests Have to Say

  • A truly soulful experience. Pausa y Danza is more than an event; it’s a space to reconnect with nature, spirit, and community. Everything is organic, intentional, and full of love.

    The food nourishes both body and soul, reminding us to slow down, give thanks, and return to ourselves. In a world that often moves too fast, Pausa y Danza is a rare, luminous pause—a space to come back to our soul, to savour life, and to dance in communion with the simple, organic beauty of being.

    Grateful for this mindful and beautiful experience. Looking forward to the next experience.

    — Leyla D.

  • I had such an amazing experience with Pausa y Dansa. Gus and Angie are super team, adding their own gifts and magic to the pot, which produces a very delicious experience of connection, intimacy, beauty, taste and belonging.

    I noticed how after this curated experience with so much detail and attention towards food, today I was cooking and eating with more presence and awareness at home. I love that this experience created a deep imprint on my heart. Also, having the chance for long deep conversations with other like-minded individuals is such a treat! I believe there is a very deep meaning and purpose behind the idea of Pausa y dansa and I wish them a big success which they deserve! Highly recommend this experience to anyone who appreciates food, details, good company and this planet!

  • Angela and Gustavo gave us a night filled with flavor and love! A pure delight with fresh, local, organic food, piyroans flavor, and intention! A very original and convivial dinner with beautiful people, an experience that fills the stomach and the heart, the eyes and hands, the mind and body! A multidimensional evening in the beautiful setting of Botanic! Looking forward to the next dinner!

  • My experience with Pausa y Danza was truly special and memorable! Gus and Angie have created such a magical and nourishing experience, and you can tell that they have poured all of their hearts and souls into this beautiful event, not just in the delicious food that was served, but in the journey as a whole. Learning about different ingredients and their impact on the body was so interesting. Their dedication to sourcing their produce locally from the highest quality farmers and making everything from scratch was also significant. The little tea ceremony at the beginning where we got to create our own blend and choose an intention for the evening was another highlight for me! Very grateful for my experience and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a pause from the busy world and a little bit of fun and laughter, creating heartfelt memories around amazing food surrounded by a soulful community.

    — Charlotte P.

  • It was a unique experience. I arrived stressed from my daily routine and left with a light heart. I loved the way Angela and Gustavo created a safe space to simply pause and connect with others. The vegetarian food was delicious, fresh, and energizing. I will definitely return for the next gathering.
