It’s time to get out of it. Lesley Mitchell has had you turning all the way around for the last two weeks. Tonight she reveals how to exit gracefully from those 180 degree turns. You didn’t think she was going to leave you spinning on the dance floor, did you?
Join us at the Suzanne Patterson Center at 8 o’clock for good music, good dancing, good food and good fun. Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID.
We don’t want to seem overly ardent, but we are making a shameless attempt to woo you early and often because we really want you to be our Valentine. If you get any flowers or candy from a ‘secret admirer’, feel free to give us the credit.

As it turns out, a good teacher can take a single subject – 180 degree turns, for instance – and relate all of tango to it. That’s just what Lesley Mitchell has been doing.
Join us Thursday at 8 for her final lesson in about-face turns. If you’ve been paying close attention, you know you’ll learn things you weren’t even aware you didn’t know. Education – tango or otherwise – doesn’t get any better than that.
Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID. It all happens at SPC.
Save the date; Our Funny Valentine Milonga is February 14th, of course!

We’ve got Lesley Mitchell tonight at 8 to show you how to extract yourself from those uh-oh moments when you’re going clockwise and everyone else is moving counter clockwise on the dance floor.
Join us at the Suzanne Patterson Center for an evening of good fun, good friends, good food. $12 admission or $10 for students with ID.

You don’t want to be a Wrong Way Corrigan on the dance floor. He was an aviator who filed a flight plan to go from New York to California and somehow wound up in Ireland. That’s why we’ve got Lesley Mitchell to teach 180 degree turns Thursday night. These come in handy when you’re hoping to get to Sacramento and start to spy Dublin on the horizon. We’ll start at 8. $12 admission, $10 for students with ID.
There’s one very good photo this week (that’s slightly better than our usual ratio) – the class picture of our Beyond the Basics Boot Camp. We’re very proud of them. They worked hard and really mastered the material.

Hard to believe but Our Funny Valentine Milonga is just a little over a month away. If you can suggest a better name than that or a name worse than all of last year’s rejects, speak up. We’ll use it.

Hut, two, three, four! Oh, all right, you won’t have to march in formation or present arms. But you will learn to do a complete 180 degree turn on the dance floor without provoking an international incident. A woman who knows secret maneuvers you haven’t even dreamed of, Lesley Mitchell will be your guide (or your Drill Sergeant if you prefer.) Lesley will spend the next three weeks making non-combatants of us all when it comes to facing that oncoming horde of dancers when we’re going the wrong way. As you can see from last week’s pictures, that happens.

Yes, just like the ones you’ve seen on every postcard you’ve ever sent or received from Buenos Aires. But here’s the incredible thing – real people do them too. And we’ve got Kelly Ray tonight to teach you how. A spiritual Porteño and a brilliant de-constructor, Kelly has seen them all, knows them all and can teach them all. This should be amazing fun.
Join us tonight at 8 o’clock (note the earlier start time) at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission $12, $10 for students with ID.
If you’re working on that list of New Year’s Resolutions, here’s one you want to include; Perfect your tango. And here’s how; Our Boot Camp – Beyond the Basics takes place next week on the weekend of January 5th and 6th. If your basic skills need some polishing, if your leading/following technique needs some refining, if your giros, molinetes or ocho cortados could be better, this is for you. If you are a woman who wants to learn to lead or a man who wants to learn to follow, this is for you. Register now to get the lower price.

If you’re reading this, we guess the Mayans didn’t get you either. Hmmm. We’re all alive and kicking. We’re all in a holiday mood. We’re all in party mode. Clearly, there’s only one thing to do – keep on partying with the kickin’ program we have planned for this Thursday December 27th. Kelly Ray will be demonstrating his technique for capping your tangos with those big, dramatic, picture perfect endings.
If you can’t parlay that into romance by New Year’s Eve, you might want to double check that alive and kicking function.
The yoga class which preceded us at the Suzanne Patterson Center has gone on hiatus for a year. Our start time moves back to 8 o’clock and will stay there.
Thanks to all of you who came out for our Holiday Milonga. We had a really fabulous time. Join us at 8 on Thursday to continue partying while the holidays are still upon us. We promise it will be a kick.
All of us at Viva wish you and yours the very merriest, holliest, jolliest, kickin’ Christmas ever.
