There will be no event at VivaTango this Thursday July 3rd. Celebrate you freedom on this National July 4th Holiday.

Historically, tango emerged as an outlet for persons seeking freedom and self-expression from the restrictive governmental and societal norms in Argentina. Tango is a celebration of freedom. Read on…….

The tango is more than a dance; it’s a dynamic conversation where freedom of movement and emotion intertwine, offering a liberating experience to all on the dance floor. The essence of this freedom is Tango’s emphasis on improvisation. Split-second decisions are made, in the moment, creating a unique narrative with every step. Each tango encounter is a fleeting moment of freedom that defies control or replication and where freedom is found in the passion and connection between dancers.

You have the freedom to choose were to spend your Tango moments. VivaTango is thankful for your support. We are here for you every Thursday.

Information on all events is in the flyers that follow.

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 and a cold/hot water dispenser that you can use to refill your water bottle or get a drink to 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.
