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.

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.

FREE EVENTS FOR VOLUNTEERS
VivaTango continues to need help to make events run smoothly. Setup only takes a little time and you do not miss any milonga time. The same is true about cleanup. Working on the welcome desk is a great way to get to know your fellow dancers. The hero of the night is the person who brings the food for the event. If you can help contact Sylvie

TABLES
You may have noticed some tables added to the seating area in the last two weeks. The feedback from the dancers is that they enjoyed them. The small tables that fit two or three dancers are the most popular. The large tables that seat 4 persons were also enjoyed. We can get as many of the large tables as we want because the venue as them in storage. The small tables have to be stored in our closet which has very limited space. When you see an empty table please enjoy it. You are also welcome to bring your own small table and make it your home base for the evening and invite your friends to join you. You can decorate it or bring a beverage of your choice if you wish. The only drink prohibition is no hard liquor is allowed.  

WATER
