MAGIC WILL HAPPEN AGAIN THIS THURSDAY!

Heavy rain and the threat of flooded roads was an ominous start to the 4-week progressive workshops last Thursday.


What happened next was a flood of dancers arriving. Both the beginner and advanced workshops were well-attended, coming within just two dancers of our best attended event of the year!

DJ DimOn kept the room vibrant with a fantastic mix of tandas that kept the dance floor full all night long. It was incredible to welcome so many fresh faces to VivaTango, even as we missed some of our regulars.


Great news? Good weather is forecast this Thursday, and we would love for you to join us! If you missed the first session, don’t worry—Pablo and Iwona will begin with a quick review of last week’s material so you can jump right in seamlessly. Plus, all attendees all will receive workshop notes and a recap video.

DJ Urszula Abolik will be hosting the milonga after the workshops and keeping the energy high this Thursday.

Come be part of the warmth, meet new dancers, and share in the Magic that will happen again this Thursday!

Unlock the Magic of Argentine Tango – 4-Week Series Starts Aug 20!

Welcome to VivaTango! Whether you are taking your very first steps or looking to refine your dance, this is the perfect week to join the lessons. Starting this Thursday, acclaimed instructors Pablo Garcia Gomez and Iwona Ionescu launch a 4-week progressive series: Expanding Creative Resources for Dancing Tango.

We’ve designed a dedicated, stress-free space just for beginners. Our dance floor is split so new dancers can learn and practice comfortably at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed.

Advanced dancers will have a separate dedicated space and lessons focused on improving their skills. A milonga hosted by DJ DimOn will follow the lessons and the beginner dancers will have a separate area to dance with each other and not have to mix in with the more advanced dancers until they feel ready to do that. The instructors will be available during the milonga to help any dancer that wishes one-on-one help.
