Ilene Marder is a popular DJ regularly working in the New York City and surrounding communities.She is known for her ability to energize and read a crowd, responding with just the right music at the right time.

She is the founder/director of Woodstock Tango, a 4 year old community hosting weekly classes, milongas in Woodstock and Albany NY, and special workshops featuring outstanding dancer/teachers from NYC and Buenos Aires. Ilene also conducts Meet the Music classes to better acquaint dancers with the key orchestras of the Golden Age.

Devoted to music from the age of seven when she began studying flute, Ilene was integrally involved in the formation of the Creative Music Studio, a legendary music school renowned for pioneering the study of world music. She has intensely studied "la musica de tango", including five trips to BsAs to attend music classes, learn from the DJ~Rs and talk with milongueros about the music. A former political reporter and publicist, Ilene was a spokesperson for and ran the press office of the Woodstock Music Festivals '94 and '99, and believes music is the key to just about everything.
