An educator and avid downhill skier, Warren Jensen considered dancing a “maybe someday” goal. However, when his wife began to dance tango, he found himself attending classes, and eventually becoming an integral part of the teaching team. He studied with Argentine dance master, Pampa Cortés, and his partner Christy Cote, as well as maestro George Guim.
He has taught with his wife, Gigi, for twelve years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and now Spokane, WA. He was a guest instructor at California State University East Bay. Warren has performed in numerous benefit and educational shows, at Stockton Folk Dance Camp, and BA Tango’s “Tango in the Square” in Union Square in San Francisco.
Mr. Jensen was technical director for Tango A Media Luz, and continues in that capacity for Tango & More Dance.
