Join us tonight at 9:15 when Cyrena Drusine brings us an exciting lesson in cadencia and connection. Learn how to communicate in the embrace and how to move like a real Porteño. It all happens at SPC. Admission $12 or $7 for full time students with ID.
Last chance to register for our Tango Beginners Boot Camp this weekend and get the lower price. We do not plan to offer this again until next spring. There’s no time like the present to learn to tango.
Save the date: Next Thursday, October 18, is Viva Tango’s first birthday and we’re throwing ourselves a birthday bash with gifts for you!

A giant Amtrak mess foiled our plans and left Cyrena Drusine stranded in Penn Station for hours last week. With a little help from the railroad, we’re going to do better this week because this is one exciting dancer we don’t want you to miss. Join us at 9:15 on Thursday to see Cyrena in action. Here’s a preview.
Our Tango Beginners Boot Camp is this coming weekend. If your friends are thinking of it or if you need a review of some of the fundamentals, now is the time to sign up to get the lower price.
Can you hear the siren song?

Tonight at 9:15 a genuine Porteño siren, Cyrena Drusine, will be at Viva with a very exciting lesson in cadencia and connection. Learn how to communicate in the embrace and how to move like an authentic Argentine dancer. You probably won’t be as good as this but you will still wow them at the Tango Festival!
Join us at 9:15 at SPC for a thrilling evening.
Our Beginners Boot Camp takes place on October 13 and 14. If you have friends who have been meaning to get into tango, tell them. If you think your own fundamentals could use a little work, join in.
We’ve got a diva for our pre-Festival festivities

Straight from performing in the El Querandi tango show in Buenos Aires, Cyrena Drusine is teaching at Viva for the next two weeks. Cyrena is a remarkable dancer. See some of her youtubes here and here.
The very first US Tango Champion, Cyrena has a very impressive list of other accomplishments and worldwide performance credentials. You can read about them on her website http://cyrenatango.blogspot.com/. And yes, there are lots more pictures for those of you with a literary bent.
We’re all so excited about this that ChuLo even volunteered to personally escort her to Viva. He wants to make sure she doesn’t get waylaid by any of the tangueros in town for the PU Tango Festival this week.
Join us Thursday at 9:15 for her lesson. It’s the best possible preparation you can make for the weekend. There will be several world class dancers in Princeton this week. Viva is proud to present the very first one.
Our Beginners Boot Camp is coming up October 13 and 14. If you are a rank beginner, if you need a review of the fundamentals, if you’re a woman who wants to lead or a man who wants to follow, this is for you. Sign up now.
Dance early and often
27 Thursday Sep 2012
Good advice in election season, especially as tonight is our last early start. Next week we go back to our winter hours for a couple of months with a 9:15 start time.
So join us tonight at 8. Chulo and Michelle will review ochos and boleos and it’s ChuLo’s birthday! Cake and dances at SPC. If you’re feeling really festive (and you’ve got every reason to), bring a bottle of wine to share tonight. Admission $12 or $7 for full time students with ID.
It’s just two weeks until our Tango Boot Camp.
And it’s just two days until our Milonga El Poema with the very entertaining Pablo Andrade playing the piano and singing.
You’ve got to practice what he preaches!

Minister of Tango ChuLo and his partner Michelle return on Thursday with another exciting lesson. Here you are taking the lesson and practicing last week in our Picasa album. But where are the boleos? There will be more photo ops this Thursday at 8 at SPC. When you see that flashbulb popping, throw a Hail Mary boleo.
Our Milonga El Poema is at All Saints this Saturday, September 29 at 8. Live music will be provided by the terrific Pablo Andrade. He sings. He plays piano. He wows. Don’t miss it.
Beginners Boot Camp with the incomparable Lesley Mitchell happens the weekend of October 13 and 14. Tell your friends who’ve always wanted to learn tango. Tell your neighbors. Tell your clergyman’s second cousin.
Phew, that’s an awful lot of talent in one post! Or are we just preaching to the choir?
You’ll be kicking yourself

If you don’t pay attention to ChuLo and Michelle’s lesson on the right way to make your boleos clean and elegant. That’s tonight at 8:00 at SPC. Admission $12 or $5 for full time students with ID.
Our last Beginners Series was such a smashing success we’re doing it again, this time in an intensive Boot Camp format on the weekend of October 13 and 14. Tell all your friends who missed the last one or they’ll be kicking themselves.
Our Milonga El Poema is next week, September 29 at All Saints. It features the singing and piano playing of the very talented, very entertaining Pablo Andrade. You don’t want to miss it. We promise it will be a real kick.
You can go high or low

ChuLo is on a roll. He and Michelle will follow up last week’s lesson with one on boleos this Thursday at SPC. Your choice, high or low. As ChuLo puts it, “clean back and front boleos for the beautiful Princetonian tangueras.” Ladies, you can’t possibly stay home after that!
Take a look at last week’s Picasa album, then get out your calendars because we’ve got two important events coming up:
Milonga El Poema
Saturday, September 29 at All Saints Church with Princeton’s own multi-talented composer, pianist, singer Pablo (Mosteiro) Andrade on keyboard. Your invitation is right here.
Beginners Boot Camp
Saturday and Sunday October 13 and 14 with Philadelphia’s own multi-talented artist, tanguera, teacher Lesley Mitchell. Full details here.
