About Tango Fusion Dance Company

Tango Fusion Dance Company, located in the vibrant community of Saratoga Springs, New York, offers a dynamic range of dance experiences for enthusiasts of all ages and levels. While the company name suggests a primary focus on Argentine Tango, their curriculum extends to a diverse array of styles including Waltz, Salsa, Salsa Rueda, and East Coast Swing, with specific Wednesday classes at the Saratoga YMCA focusing on Salsa and West Coast Swing. Under the guidance of accomplished directors Johnny Martinez and Diane Lachtrupp Martinez, who bring extensive experience from national tours and film, dancers can explore their passion. The teaching staff is further enriched by instructors such as Lesley O'Donnell and Melissa Mason Lacijan, bringing diverse backgrounds in theater and vocal performance. Tango Fusion is dedicated to fostering artistic growth and providing memorable performance experiences. This is evident in programs like their 'Triple Threat Summer Theater Camp,' designed for children aged 7-14, which immerses participants in singing, jazz, and musical theater choreography, culminating in a full production. The company also provides opportunities for practice sessions and special workshops, alongside private lessons, empowering individuals to discover their unique expressive voice. Their commitment to accessibility is shown through in-person and hybrid class options, and they foster a love for dance in younger generations through specialized children's programming and summer camps. Tango Fusion Dance Company provides a welcoming environment to explore the joy and artistry of dance.
