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!

Start swooning now

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.
