Thursday, August 28. A duo of extraordinary musicians will play for your dancing pleasure. Maurizio Najt is a well-known regular at Viva Tango and at many other events. He played a leading role in the New York Tango revival scene during the late 90’s, performing with New York Tango Trio. He also was a member of Forever Tango Orchestra. Tito Castro is a bandoneón maestro, a living legend as a composer, arranger and performer, who’s been playing his instrument for six decades, since the age of 15. He was born and raised in Buenos Aires. Tito played milongas of Buenos Aires during the Golden Age of Tango. DJ DimOn will keep you dancing before, between, and after the live music sets.

Thursday, September 4th. Jake Spatz has been teaching tango since 2005, and he gives it his all whether it’s for two students or two hundred. His focus on classic tango de salon emphasizes realistic social style, the beauty of an elaborate dance, and a lyrical musicality that reaches from basic rhythm to beyond. Jake often uses a series format, exploring related moves to encourage his students’ versatility, and reviewing often to strengthen their retention. Known for his lucid explanations and practical advice, he views himself as a steppingstone to success in the milonga for his students. Jake’s recent series topics include “Elegant Tango Salon,” “Creativity in Tango,” “General Musicality,” “The Fleur-de-Lis,” and “Social Sacadas.”
7:00 pm: Lesson with Jake Spatz.
8:15 pm: Milonga with DJ Jake Spatz.
Admission: $20. EVENT LINK

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
