The instructors, musicians, performers and DJs also thank you for your support. VivaTango is hard at work planning another year of bringing outstanding talent from around the Tango world to Princeton for your dancing pleasure.

Thursday, January 8th. Start the new 2026 with a lesson and milonga at Viva Tango Princeton. Pablo Garcia Gomez and Iwona Ionescu are very popular instructors at Viva Tango and many other tango events. Their lessons are always clear and practical, and can be applied almost immediately in the milonga following the lesson. After the lesson Pablo and Iwona will be available at the side of the dance floor to help any dancers wishing more assistance with the lesson. Tonight’s DJ is Dimon. His carefully crafted tandas and danceable music selections will keep you on your feet throughout the evening.

7:00 pm: Lesson with Pablo & Iwona.
8:15 pm: Milonga with DJ Dimon.
Admission: $20.

Thursday, January 15th. Andres Amarilla & Karen Johnson. Andres is a frequent instructor and performer at Viva Tango. He was born and raised in Buenos Aires. He studied with and performed in the dance companies of three of the greatest tangueros of all time: Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, and Rodolfo Dinzel. Karen is a well-known and respected tango dancer, instructor, and DJ in the greater Philadelphia area. She and Andres are sure to create and teach a wonderful lesson. Karen will also be tonight’s DJ. Her excellent music sense is heartwarming and will keep us longing for more.

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
