BIO
Felipe Martinez has a very fluid style of dance, moving seamlessly
through all ranges of the embrace. As a teacher his dedication,
enthusiasm, and sheer knowledge of the dance always come across with
great clarity. He has an extensive background in other forms of
movement and has been influenced by the most respected tango masters
and dancers. He is a prominent tango teacher in the San Francisco/Bay
Area and shares his passion for tango all over North America and
Europe.

Melanie Klaric, who teaches in Chicago, began dancing Argentine tango
in 2003, but her passion for tango began as a child, having heard the
music all her life. Melanie has lived in Argentina, studying
intensively with her favorite teachers. She has travelled to festivals
all over the United States and Europe, and most recently taught at
Yale Tango Fest. She is an enthusiastic teacher whose affection,
passion, and respect for tango are clearly illustrated in her teaching
style.
