Gabriel Huracan Gaumond & Catrinel Iftode come to VivaTango from Washington DC.
Their dance style has been characterized as romantic. Their lesson will show
you how to create endless possibilities from sequences using Sacadas, Enganches
and Entradas. Gabriel believes that tango is a language we speak with our
bodies and he is particularly interested in exploring the subtleties of how
this communication works. His focus is musical interpretation using the body as
a medium for expression and the mechanics of connection. Catrinel sees tango as
tool for personal growth by removing the physical, mental and emotional blocks
that stand in the way of full freedom of expression. Catrinel’s focus is
helping others to feel confident, empowered and comfortable. All levels lesson
starts at 7:00, Milonga at 8:15, Performance at 9:30. Lesson $15, Milonga $15,
Both $20.

Magic filled the dance floor again last Thursday. Many dancers let me know that Helen Wang’s music was outstanding. One of those dancers was a follower who I found hiding in a corner near the end of the evening. The reason she was hiding was because she danced herself to exhaustion, but wanted to hear the beautiful tandas until the end. And the reason she was exhausted was because there were more leaders than followers. So if you are going to milongas that have a surplus of followers , come see why we say At VivaTango You Will Dance!

This coming Thursday Pablo and Iwona will have a very interesting lesson on a topic that is not often taught. Plus, Svetlana Howells will DJ for the milonga. Details follow below, as well as other June events.

Don’t miss the magic that happens every Thursday.
At VivaTango – You Will Dance!
ABRAZOS!

Thursday June 13th will feature a lesson by Pablo Garcia Gomez & Iwona Ionescu and a Milonga hosted by Svetlana Howells. Pablo and Iwona are the instructors for the Princeton Adult School Tango classes, and they are popular instructors at VivaTango and other tango events. Their lesson this week will explore and practice jumps for tango, vals, and milonga. Jumps are not very often included in workshops and lessons so don’t miss this class! After the lesson Pablo and Iwona will be available at the side of the dance floor to help any dancers wishing more help with the lesson. DJ Svetlana Howells will host the milonga and play well composed tandas  and cortinas for your dancing pleasure. Lesson at 7 PM, Milonga at 8:15. Lesson $15 Milonga $15, Both $20. EVENT EVENT LINK

Thursday June 27th will feature a lesson and performance by Gabriel Huracan Gaumond & Catrinel Iftode. They come to VivaTango from Washington DC. Their dance style has been characterized as romantic. Their lesson will show you how to create endless possibilities from sequences using Sacadas, Enganches and Entradas. Gabriel believes that tango is a language we speak with our bodies and he is particularly interested in exploring the subtleties of how this communication works. His focus is musical interpretation using the body as a medium for expression and the mechanics of connection. Catrinel sees tango as tool for personal growth by removing the physical, mental and emotional blocks that stand in the way of full freedom of expression. Catrinel’s focus is helping others to feel confident, empowered and comfortable. All levels lesson starts at 7:00, Milonga at 8:15, Performance at 9:30. Lesson $15, Milonga $15, Both $20 EVENT LINK 

FREE EVENTS FOR VOLUNTEERS
VivaTango continues to need help to make events run smoothly. Setup only takes a little time and you do not miss any milonga time. The same is true about cleanup. Working on the welcome desk is a great way to get to know your fellow dancers. The hero of the night is the person who brings the food for the event. If you can help contactSylvie

WATER
We urge dancers to bring their water bottle from home to cut down on single use bottles. There is a chilled water fountain next to the bathroom to refill your water bottles with chilled water and a cold/hot water dispenser in the entry to help keep you hydrated.
