VivaTango wishes that all of our dancers have a meaningful Thanksgiving. There will not be a milonga event on this Thanksgiving Thursday. I would like to say that I am thankful for all of you who make up the VivaTango Family. We are a community of varied individuals that come together weekly to embrace and support each other. What could be better than that to be thankful for.

The end of 2024 is in sight, but be sure to take time out to join your Tango Family for the final 3 events. The next event will feature the return of Aluminé Deluchi and Ariel Almirón to teach and perform on Thursday December 6^th. VIDEO  Then Pablo and Iwona will teach on the following week.

Mark your calendar for the Holiday Party with live music that will be on Thursday December 19. That will be our final event for 2024. Details of all these events follow.

Don’t miss the Magic that happens every Thursday.

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 contactSylvie

WATER
We urge dancers to bring their water bottle from home to cut down on single use bottles. There is a chilled water fountain and a cold/hot water dispenser that you can use to refill your water bottle or get a drink to keep you hydrated.

DIRECTIONS
VivaTango is located at 45 Stockton Street, Princeton New Jersey. There is a well-lit, off-street parking lot at the venue. The large dance floor is in the smaller of the two buildings. 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
