Cacho, Evita, Carlos and Parejita
25 Thursday Oct 2012
At a time when tango was really tango, men were really men, a good cigar was only a nickel and Evita Peron was in her heyday, three now legendary guys from the barrios of Buenos Aires started going to milongas to learn how it’s done from the old masters. The three – Cacho Mantegassa, Eduardo Pareja and Carlos Perez – are now the old masters of milonguero style tango.
Vittoria and Guillermo, recently back from Buenos Aires, spent some time with these legends, learning their elegant salon style tango moves to bring them back to the USA for us!
Come to SPC at 9:15 tonight to join in the lesson. It’s the real deal. Admission $12, $5 for full time students with ID.
Next week, November 1, is our Halloween Party. Don’t throw those costumes out prematurely.
You got some ‘splainin to do, Lucy

We had such a fabulous time at our birthday party we’re trying to think of ways to have more birthdays. We couldn’t help but notice, however, that it was a Thursday night with a 9:15 start time. Yet 60 or more of you came and stayed and stayed. After we played the goodbye-go-home song (yikes, several of you even did a fox trot to that because you weren’t done dancing) we were shoveling people out the door after midnight. We love when that happens!!! Why doesn’t it happen more often?
People, you’ve proved to yourselves that tango is more important than sleep, that 9:15 is not too late to start having fun and that if enough of you show up it’s always a good time. All we can say is we want more of that. Think of it as a birthday present for Viva.

Join us on Thursday when Vittoria and Guillermo return from another world tour. This time they’ve brought an amazing gift with them. They’ve learned figures from three old time milongueros, the last of a dying breed, all elegant tango salon dancers. V&G will be revealing the secrets of these legendary tangueros to us in their next few lessons. Don’t miss it.

We’ve got birthday presents for you
15 Monday Oct 2012
It’s Viva Tango’s birthday on Thursday. We’re going to be one year old! We’re walking, we’re talking and we’re toddling right along. This calls for a party and we’re throwing one to celebrate the people who have made it all possible – YOU. Please join us Thursday at 9:15 at SPC.
ADMISSION IS FREE FOR ALL
and
GET A VIDEO OF YOURSELF TANGOING
It’s our idea of a Tango Clinic. If you want, we will video you tangoing with your best partner and send it to you so you can obsess at leisure. Once you get past having to look at yourself on film, it’s a form of feedback that – well, you know -speaks a thousand words.
We really, really, really want you to come and celebrate with us. You wouldn’t want to disappoint a one year old, would you?
P.S. Don’t forget to look at the pictures of Cyrena’s class last week as well as the pictures of Lesley’s weekend Boot Camp and our newest crop of tango graduates – all in our Picasa album.

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.

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.
