Thursday, January 30th. Coming from Montreal, Melina Mistral pierced the international and festival/marathon stage first in the USA, to eventually expand out to Europe. Her experience and versatility as a social dancer in both roles, as well as a professional teacher and performer, have made her very sensitive to the dancer’s energy. She believes in a balance of fun, sweet, power & drama, keeping in mind the venue, the event, the time of day and the dancers. Our DJ Sara La Rocca is well-known in New York City and Washington, DC as a long-time organizer of the legendary All-night Milonga, and recently the Milonga Volver. She also excels at selecting and playing her tango tunes to keep up the dancer’s mood and inspire them to dance.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DANCERS WHO ARE WAITING FOR A BEGINNER’S SERIES

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
