WHO ARE MARTIN and JENNIFER:
Video of an improvised performance in Vienna, Austria:
In their dance and teaching, Martín and Jennifer give emphasis to the connection in the couple, musicality, and the ability to improvise freely. These three themes make up the core basis of their creation of tango. Furthermore, they seek to achieve a balance with the amount of information provided in the lessons with respect to how much the students can understand and incorporate - always caring not to lead the students to the point of frustration. While at times Martín and Jennifer teach "steps," they are only used as an excuse to open the door to musical interpretation, improvisation, and the improvement of one's technique.
