Välkomna
Martin Bel & Jennifer Olson, 21-22 Maj 2011
In their dance and teaching, Martín and Jennifer give emphasis to the
conection 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 used only as an excuse to open the
door to musical interpretation, improvisation, and technique.
Martin Bel
Martín Bel started learning tango at the age of 18 at "Estudio Dinzel"
with Rodolfo and Gloria Dinzel. He has been greatly influenced by his
studies with Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa, Carlos and Rosa
Pérez, Eduardo Pareja "Parejita” and Olga Besio, as well as Gustavo
Naveira and Giselle Anne. Additionally, Martín has a working knowledge
of modern and contemporary dance through his studies with Cristina
Barnils, Ines Armas, and Soledad Alfaro.
Martín started teaching in 2007 when he assisted Julio Balmaceda and
Corina de la Rosa at the prominent CITA festival in Buenos Aires.
Since then, he has taught regularly in Buenos Aires at Estudio
Postango and Club Fulgor de Villa Crespo (Praktika 8 - Milonga 10).
Martín has performed at many of the major milongas in Buenos Aires
including Salón Canning, Club Villa Malcolm, Club Fulgor de Villa
Crespo, Club 25 de Mayo, Viejo Correo, and Parakultural, as well as in
a number of cities in Europe. Additionally, Martín was a finalist at
the Tango Salón World Championship in Buenos Aires in 2008 with Vanina
Pérez.
Since the start of 2009, Martín has given workshops and performed in
Europe (including Berlín, París, Amsterdam, Köln, Wuppertal, and
Vienna) and Buenos Aires with Vanina Pérez, Martine Dennewald, María
Ybarra, Paola Motillo, and Jesica Arfenoni.
In Buenos Aires he organizes a weekly milonga called El Yeite Tango
Club, and in March of 2011 he had his first tango festival - El Yeite
Tango Festival.
Jennifer Olson
Jennifer Olson started her tango career in Portland (OR), but tango
has now taken Jennifer all over the world: to Europe, to Argentina and
Uruguay, and extensively throughout the United States and Canada.
Without a home and constantly on tour for the last six years, Jennifer
is happy to continue spreading her love of tango where ever she goes.
During her travels, she taught at festivals and gave workshops in
places such as Buenos Aires, Argentina (where she lived for five
months); Montevideo, Uruguay; Palma De Mallorca, Spain; Berlin,
Germany; London, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; Toronto, Canada;
Montreal, Canada; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Denver, CO; New York
City, NY; Washington D.C.; Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Princeton, NJ (at
Princeton University); New Haven, CT (at Yale University); and St.
Louis, MO just to name a few.
Skilled in both leading and following, Jennifer frequently teaches
alone, but has also taught regularly with known tango masters Alex
Krebs, Robin Thomas, Evan Griffiths, and Damian Lobato.
Jennifer's dance is characterized by her desire to strive for
versatility. Since tango is a social dance, she believes it is
integral to master not only close and open embrace, but also
everything in-between. Furthermore, after having a connected and
comfortable embrace, nothing is more important to Jennifer than the
music. This is transmitted in her teaching, as she approaches every
class with a strong command over the music.
