Throw your weight around at 8
03 Thursday May 2012
Throw your weight around with us, tonight at 8 o’clock. Vittoria and Guillermo will teach a turn with a triple weight change. Nobody does it better.
This comes in handy quite a lot, particularly if you’re inclined to vals. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – If a man can get the embrace and the weight changes right, he’s halfway to being every woman’s dream tanguero. Let Vittoria and Guillermo show you how tonight at SPC, 8 pm. Admission $12, $5 for students with ID.
Viva has been unable to obtain any space for a Saturday milonga in May. We’re not letting that stop us, however. Next Thursday, May 10, we’re having our May milonga at SPC. It will be such a special night you’ll think you’ve already made it to the weekend.
There will be live music by Princeton’s own Pablo Mosteiro Romero, creator and host of The Death of Tango on 103.3 FM. Wait until you hear Pablo sing and play the piano! You can do that while you’re nibbling on Nelly’s scrumptious food, sipping a glass of wine and dancing tango. We think that perfectly completes all the ingredients you need for a heavenly Thursday.
Turn! Turn! Turn! at 8

To everything there is a season. And this week it’s the season for turns.
Turns with a triple weight change; That is what Vittoria and Guillermo will be teaching this Thursday.
Turns of the clock hands; Turn them back to 8 o’clock, our start time from now until the fall.
Turns around the dance floor to say goodbye to friends; See the Picasa album.

Turns to thoughts of spring and milongas; We intend to have one in May. As soon as we have a location, you’ll get an email.
Now it’s your turn; Mark your calendars and join us on Thursday for an evening of fun. You can’t turn that down, can you?
Come to parad(a)ise, stay for coffee and cake

Tonight at 9:15 pm Vittoria and Guillermo teach a tango step most everyone gets wrong – paradas. It’s that stick-out-the-leg, make-the-follower-stop, pivot-a-little-and-climb-over step, the one everyone trips on. Vittoria and Guillermo do a superb job of demonstrating the lead and follow for this difficult step. You’ll want to learn this.
And Nelly will reward you for it with coffee and cake following the lesson. A good evening all around.
And there’s more good news; Next week we return to our 8 o’clock start time for the next six months.
Tonight’s the last night students attend the practica for free. Take advantage of it.

Guillermo is very good, world class good, at stopping Vittoria dead in her tracks. Vittoria is even better at getting around him. Both are acquired skills.
This Thursday at 9:15 pm, Vittoria and Guillermo will be demonstrating all the skills involved in those stops – paradas in tango lingo. Join us at SPC for a class in paradas with embellishments, some good music, tasty snacks, nice people. ‘Nuf said. We’ll stop now.

Have a Salada with your salida
19 Thursday Apr 2012
Posted in Tango
Vittoria and Guillermo have returned from their tour of California and are ready to dish up salidas tonight at 9:15 at SPC.
Salida translates as exit, the way out. And it is the way out – onto the dance floor. Vittoria and Guillermo will teach salidas with a half turn and embellishments tonight. In other words, spicy salidas.
Nelly has returned from her tour of ShopRite and is ready to dish up Saladas. Salada translates as that bag on a string that you dip into hot water. If you haven’t noticed, Nelly has been providing a variety of coffees and teas for the past several weeks. Add that to a great lesson, good food, nice music, wonderful people and you’ve got a complete fun evening of tango.
We hope you’ll join us for it. The kettle’s on.
WOW

Thanks to all of you who came to our milonga Saturday night. It was a fabulous time. Great live music, great food, great people. When you get Vittoria and Guillermo, Lesley and Kelly, and the two Annas from Philadelphia all on the dance floor at the same time, that’s a critical mass of really, really, really good dancers. It makes a milonga feel like Buenos Aires.
Special thanks to the brilliant Bandoneonist Emmanuel Trifilio, to our pop-up surprise performer, Rebecca Salazar of the glorious voice, and to Lou Becerra of CJDS for teaching a terrific Beginners Lesson. Click below for pictures.
Join us Thursday at 9:15 pm for an exciting lesson with Vittoria and Guillermo on salidas. It’s where you begin, how you get on the dance floor. Vittoria and Guillermo have gotten on some of the best with style and panache. They will reveal their secrets to us. If you start big, good things are sure to follow, don’t you think?

We’ve straightened out our heads, our calendars and our Popsicle stick collection. Viva is tonight at 9:15 at SPC.
Lesley Mitchell wraps up her milonga series with a review of the material covered so far. To that she will add some variations and show us how to make sequences of the steps we already know. We told you that you’d be doing a milonga if you stuck with it. There’s just one thing left to do. Boogie on down to SPC tonight and learn how to do a milonga with finesse.
Speaking of finesse, we’ve definitely got some in store for you on Saturday at our Milonga Magnolia. It starts with award winning Bandoneonist, Emmanuel Trifilio, from the legendary Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires. 
It includes a Raw Beginners’ Lesson by Lou Becerra of CJDS. And then there’s food by Nelly. You know it’s going to be good. That’s 8 o’clock Saturday at All Saints Church.
