Marina godinez

Having taken her first tango steps at the age of 10, Marina knew that she wanted to pursue dance at a young age. Her family are all dancers and musicians and when it came time to branch out into her own artistic desires, she found tango in Portland in 2016. After a year Marina moved to Boston where she began studying with Adam. With the intention on becoming a tango teacher, Marina moved to Boston with Adam to study further with Adam and his new partner, world champion, Jesica Arfenoni. After a year of studying with them, Marina and Adam, now in a relationship, moved to Beijing where they taught locally. Marina has been assisting Adam in classes ever since and now 5 years later and 7 years into her tango journey, she is partnering with Adam, her now husband, as well as teaching on her own in Portland.
