Join us this Thursday, May 7, for a special milonga hosted by Helen Wang and her dance partner, Jan Ben.

With a background that began at Cornell University, where she studied arts and design, she first built a career in high-end fashion consulting in New York City. That experience continues to influence her unique, thoughtful approach to Tango—blending technical precision with artistic expression. She found her true self in Tango.

Her deep understanding of the dance makes her teaching clear and engaging, while her musical selections keep the floor alive all evening. And of course, Helen’s eye for Tango fashion adds an extra touch of elegance and inspiration.

The venue is easily accessed by rail from NYC and Philly. Just get a ticket to Princeton (not Princeton Junction. You get off the train at Princeton Junction and take the connecting shuttle train to Princeton.) The venue is 8 blocks from the Princeton Train Station with a lovely walk through the Princeton University Campus (0.8 mi.) MAP
