Access your axis

And with practice, you can learn how to access your partner’s too. And how to achieve multiple accesses. That’s not a salacious suggestion.  It’s what Vittoria and Guillermo will teach tonight – another variation on a single axis turn.  Now combine that with the single axis turn you learned last week and pretty soon two axes are dancing as one.

You see where we’re going here.

Join us at 8 tonight at SPC. Admission $12 or $10 for students with ID.

Have we mentioned that we really want you to be our Valentine? We do. Come to our Funny Valentine Milonga next week to see how much.

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.

A Single Axis Turn To The Right

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.

It’s not usual

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.

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.

December 27, 2012

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.

Picture postcard endings at 8

Argentine tango, dance lessons, practica, VivaTango

argentine tangosmallYes, just like the ones you’ve seen on every postcard you’ve ever sent or received from Buenos Aires.  But here’s the incredible thing – real people do them too.  And we’ve got Kelly Ray tonight to teach you how. A spiritual Porteño and a brilliant de-constructor, Kelly has seen them all, knows them all and can teach them all.  This should be amazing fun.

Join us tonight at 8 o’clock (note the earlier start time) at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission $12, $10 for students with ID.

If you’re working on that list of New Year’s Resolutions, here’s one you want to include; Perfect your tango. And here’s how; Our Boot Camp – Beyond the Basics takes place next week on the weekend of January 5th and 6th.  If your basic skills need some polishing, if your leading/following technique needs some refining, if your giros, molinetes or ocho cortados could be better, this is for you. If you are a woman who wants to learn to lead or a man who wants to learn to follow, this is for you. Register now to get the lower price.

We’re alive and kicking and more good news

Argentine tango, dance lessons, practica, Princeton, VivaTango

If you’re reading this, we guess the Mayans didn’t get you either. Hmmm. We’re all alive and kicking.  We’re all in a holiday mood.  We’re all in party mode. Clearly, there’s only one thing to do – keep on partying with the kickin’ program we have planned for this Thursday December 27th.  Kelly Ray will be demonstrating his technique for capping your tangos with those big, dramatic, picture perfect endings.

If you can’t parlay that into romance by New Year’s Eve, you might want to double check that alive and kicking function.

The yoga class which preceded us at the Suzanne Patterson Center has gone on hiatus for a year.  Our start time moves back to 8 o’clock and will stay there.

Thanks to all of you who came out for our Holiday Milonga.  We had a really fabulous time.  Join us at 8 on Thursday to continue partying while the holidays are still upon us.  We promise it will be a kick.

All of us at Viva wish you and yours the very merriest, holliest, jolliest, kickin’ Christmas ever.

santa kicking
