We’d like to announce a great lesson by Vittoria and Guillermo at Viva Tango Thursday night. But we can’t do that just yet. The Suzanne Patterson Center still has no heat and no light. (We hope none of you are in that same boat.)
We expect everything at SPC will be fully restored by Thursday. So please pencil us in for 9:15 Thursday evening and look for our confirmation email later in the week.

Alas, there will be no Halloween Party for us. We have to cancel because the Suzanne Patterson Center has no heat and no light.
We hope you are all snugly in your homes, safe and sound.
If you need a tango fix (and who doesn’t?) we can recommend three places that have fared better than Princeton in the storm:
Vittoria and Guillermo have a Halloween Milonga tonight in Marlton, NJ. See http://www.argen-tango.com/?page_id=50 for more information.
Meredith Klein has a milonga Thursday night in Philadelphia. See http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/milonga.html for information.
Lesley and Kelly have a Masquerade Milonga with a class Friday night in Philadelphia. See http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/milonga.html for information.
See you all next week.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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!
