It’s been a rough 10 days. You deserve a break. And we’ve got one for you.

Vittoria and Guillermo will teach some of their favorite milonguero moves, learned on their recent trip to Buenos Aires from the last of the Golden Age milongueros. This is a part of tango’s history and romance you don’t want to miss.

Join us tonight at 9:15 at SPC for an evening of good fun, good humor, good food, good tango.

We’re happy to announce that the Suzanne Patterson Center has heat, light, running water and a great floor just waiting to welcome your feet.

Join us Thursday at 9:15 pm when Vittoria and Guillermo continue their series on steps from the great milongueros.

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.

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.
