Felipe Martinez will be joining us in Ojai following his Labor Day weekend dancing & teaching at the Denver Tango Festival.

Earlier this year, Felipe taught at major festivals in Toronto and Portland; danced on cruises in South American & the Mediterranean; and toured & taught in more than a dozen cities throughout the U.S. and Europe. He spent the month of August dancing & DJing in Buenos Aires, his second visit of the year.

On the weekend just before he comes to Ojai, Felipe will be dancing in Los Angeles & teaching a series of workshops on "The Structure of Tango Vocabulary" down at Oxygen Tango.

Originally from Madrid, Spain, Felipe has been based in San Francisco for the past 12 years, where he is a regular teacher, host and DJ at venues throughout the Bay Area — including the Beat, El Valenciano, and the Stanford Tango Club.

Celebrated for his elegant approach to tango and incisive teaching, Felipe is one of the most widely traveled and in demand dancers of his generation. Thorough and precise in the classroom, Felipe is also one of the organizers of the San Francisco Tango Marathon in November.

Please plan on joining us on September 17th to welcome Felipe Martinez  to Ojai ...
