And we’ve got three very, very, very good things coming:

This Thursday we’ll have an exciting lesson by Vittoria and Guillermo and maybe a surprise announcement about Guillermo’s secret mission to Buenos Aires.  You’ll never know unless you come.

Next Thursday, February 14th is our Funny Valentine Milonga.  We promise a good time whether you’re feeling the romance or not, whether you love the day or hate it.  No partner necessary.

Starting February 21st we have three weeks (see? we told you) of Angeles Chanaha and Hugo Mastrolorenzo. You can see the still pictures here, but check Youtube to see when the videos are posted. Hot! Hot! and yes, Hot! to complete the trifecta.

Vittoria told us that the lesson will be on “a single axis turn to the right”. Well, we wanted to make sure we understand and say something intelligent about it that will excite you all tangueros. So with Google to the rescue, we are now excited and you should be too. The single guarantees we will not get dizzy…

Please join us at Viva Tango, in Suzanne Patterson , with Vittoria and Guillermo (who just came back from a quick visit abroad, remember? he was away last week) who will teach…A Single Axis Turn To The Right.

As usual, Nelly will set a nice table for you and perhaps a small surprise too.

After last Thursday’s lesson with Vittoria Natale and Steve Mason here what is coming our way. Fight the cold with a warm up to Valentine’s Day milonga and more:

  • On January 31st and February 7th, we’ll have Vittoria and Guillermo (welcome back)

  • February 14th is our FUNNY VALENTINE MILONGA (It’s OK to start sending us love notes now 🙂

  • Angeles Chanaha and Hugo Mastrolorenzo (straight from Argentina) will hold the floor from February 21st through March 7th

  • We got a good venue for a Saturday milonga on March 30th, thanks to the nice folks at CJDS. Stay tune for a theme or suggest one.

Viva Tango is sending its condolences to our own; Danelle Knapp for the passing of her mother this Sunday.

It’s not usual for Vittoria Natale to have a new dance partner, but tonight she will be co-teaching with Steve Mason (yes, that Steve Mason from the Atrium.) It’s not usual to turn counter-clockwise on the dance floor, but that’s what they’ll be teaching, rhythmical counter-clockwise turns.

We start at 8 at SPC. We’ll have the usual good food, the usual good music, the usual good floor and all the usual suspects will be there. Come to Viva and have fun. That’s not unusual.

Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID.

That’s kind of unusual for us, but we’re definitely getting that procrastination thing under control (New Year’s resolution!) and can’t wait to tell you what we have planned for the next couple of months:

  • This Thursday Vittoria Natale and Steve Mason will teach at Viva

  • On February 1st and 8th, we’ll have Vittoria and Guillermo

  • February 14th is our FUNNY VALENTINE MILONGA (It’s OK to start sending us love notes now)

  • Angeles Chanaha and Hugo Mastrolorenzo (straight from Argentina) will hold the floor from February 21st through March 7th

  • We don’t often get a good venue for a Saturday milonga, but thanks to the nice folks at CJDS, we’ve got Saturday, March 30 at SPC. There’s no working title yet so just think of it as OUR BIG FAT MARCH MILONGA

Whew, that was a lot of work.  We’ll rest up now, but not before we ask if you know you can follow us on Google+ (Viva Tango), Twitter (@vivatango) and Facebook (Viva Tango Princeton).  In fact, feel free to follow us anywhere.

 

Now that you’ve turned it around…

It’s time to get out of it. Lesley Mitchell has had you turning all the way around for the last two weeks. Tonight she reveals how to exit gracefully from those 180 degree turns. You didn’t think she was going to leave you spinning on the dance floor, did you?

Join us at the Suzanne Patterson Center at 8 o’clock for good music, good dancing, good food and good fun. Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID.

We don’t want to seem overly ardent, but we are making a shameless attempt to woo you early and often because we really want you to be our Valentine. If you get any flowers or candy from a ‘secret admirer’, feel free to give us the credit.

An amazing turn of events

As it turns out, a good teacher can take a single subject – 180 degree turns, for instance – and relate all of tango to it. That’s just what Lesley Mitchell has been doing.

Join us Thursday at 8 for her final lesson in about-face turns. If you’ve been paying close attention, you know you’ll learn things you weren’t even aware you didn’t know. Education – tango or otherwise – doesn’t get any better than that.

Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID. It all happens at SPC.

Save the date; Our Funny Valentine Milonga is February 14th, of course!

LesleyWe’ve got Lesley Mitchell tonight at 8 to show you how to extract yourself from those uh-oh moments when you’re going clockwise and everyone else is moving counter clockwise on the dance floor.

Join us at the Suzanne Patterson Center for an evening of good fun, good friends, good food.  $12 admission or $10 for students with ID.

Wrong Way Corrigan

You don’t want to be a Wrong Way Corrigan on the dance floor. He was an aviator who filed a flight plan to go from New York to California and somehow wound up in Ireland.  That’s why we’ve got Lesley Mitchell to teach 180 degree turns Thursday night. These come in handy when you’re hoping to get to Sacramento and start to spy Dublin on the horizon. We’ll start at 8. $12 admission, $10 for students with ID.

There’s one very good photo this week (that’s slightly better than our usual ratio) – the class picture of our Beyond the Basics Boot Camp. We’re very proud of them. They worked hard and really mastered the material.

January 3 – 6, 2013

 

Hard to believe but Our Funny Valentine Milonga is just a little over a month away.  If you can suggest a better name than that or a name worse than all of last year’s rejects, speak up. We’ll use it.

Hut, two, three, four! Oh, all right, you won’t have to march in formation or present arms. But you will learn to do a complete 180 degree turn on the dance floor without provoking an international incident.  A woman who knows secret maneuvers you haven’t even dreamed of,  Lesley Mitchell will be your guide (or your Drill Sergeant if you prefer.)  Lesley will spend the next three weeks making non-combatants of us all when it comes to facing that oncoming horde of dancers when we’re going the wrong way. As you can see from last week’s pictures, that happens.

Join us at SPC for the lesson at 8 tonight. $12 admission, $10 for students with ID.

Our Tango Bootcamp – Beyond the Basics is this weekend, January 5th and 6th.  Last chance to register for the lower price.
