VivaTango June 20th Milonga, Performance and Lesson

Gabriel Huracan Gaumond & Catrinel Iftode come to VivaTango from Washington DC.

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.

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 contact Sylvie

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.

DIRECTIONS
VivaTango is located at 45 Stockton Street, Princeton New Jersey. There is a well-lit, off-street parking lot at the venue. The large dance floor is in the smaller of the two buildings.
