In fact, smile, because Lesley Mtchell says “This is our 20th year of teaching tango and I’m still enthralled. Thank you Argentina!” Lesley has lived in Buenos Aires, speaks Spanish fluently, knows where to buy the best custom made tango shoes, can spot a Malbec at 50 paces, and knows who dances at which milongas each night in BsAs. That’s cultural immersion, a Norteamericana by birth, a Porteña at heart.
Lesley will be back at Viva this Thursday at 8 with a lesson in pinwheel turns (not molinetes.) You’ll be saying muy gracias before the night is out and smiling too.
And here’s another reason to smile: You’re just a week and a day away from My Funny Valentine Milonga at the beautiful Tusk Restaurant.
This is turning out to be a very warm, smiley winter, don’t you think?

…see Chulo show you how to exit from that cross! What were you thinking?
Tonight Marcelo “Chulo” Manfredi will be breaking down the basic step for us. Then we’ll learn different exits from the cross, always a tricky proposition, and a necessary part of your tango education. To make learning even more fun we’ve got a great floor, tasty snacks and nice people. School was never this good.
Join us at 8 tonight at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission $12, $5 for students.
And don’t forget to clear your calendar so you can attend the My Funny Valentine Milonga at Tusk Restaurant on February 14th.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. Love it or hate it, you’ve got to deal with it. We at Viva Tango have been thinking there’s only one way to handle it, whether it’s old love, new love, unrequited love or lost love. Simply tango the night away.
We’ve planned something very special so you can do just that. My Funny Valentine Milonga will be held on February 14th (yes, that’s a Tuesday) at the beautiful Tusk Restaurant on Route 206 in Montgomery.
Our milonga will have bar service, but if you want to eat, which is probably always a good idea, check out the Tusk Restaurant website. The chef is offering two scrumptious prix fixe dinners for Valentine’s Day. If you hurry, you might just be able to book a table before it’s too late. Call 908 – 829 – 3417 to make your dinner reservation now.
A beautiful restaurant, glorious food, nice drinks, romantic music. We hope you’re getting the hint that we want you to be our Valentine.
And don’t forget our Valentine’s warm up – Chulo’s back by popular demand, teaching at 8 this Thursday.
The hottest thing in tango

The hottest, trendiest, most au courant thing in tango these days is Villa Urquiza style. The hottest tangueros, of course, are Porteños. Wouldn’t you know, we’ve got both!
Vittoria and Guillermo return tonight straight from a Villa Urquiza infused tour of Buenos Aires to teach us just what we want to know – elegant Villa Urquiza style combination turns with sacadas. You’ll learn how to blend those with pauses in the right place. Think of them as Villa Urquiza style pauses.
Please join us tonight for Vittoria and Guillermo’s special lesson at 8 pm. The practica begins at 9 pm, all at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission is $12, $5 for students.
Oh, and feel free to think of us as hot! hot! hot!

Villa Urquiza is a barrio of Buenos Aires, famed for its Sunderland Club and for the Villa Urquiza style of tango with its smooth, elegant, precise walk. This week our instructor is Marcelo “Chulo” Manfredi, a Villa Urquiza native. We’re thinking everyone is going to be a lot suaver when he’s done. You’ll have to come to SPC Thursday at 8 p.m. so you don’t miss out. We will have smelling salts available if you’re overcome with it all or just that charmed by Chulo. It could definitely happen.
Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Holiday Milonga. It was a perfect evening with beautiful music, scrumptious food, festive decor and wonderful people. Yes, that means you! See for yourself in this week’s Picasa album. It went so well we’re going to see if we can do that milonga trick again soon.
