We’ve added tables to our seating area to make meeting fellow dancers easy and inviting! Spot an empty chair? Simply ask those sitting nearby if it’s open and make it your base for the night. You are welcome to bring a beverage of your choice to enjoy (no hard liquor allowed).

MILONGA 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. The venue is easily accessed by rail from NYC and Philly. Just get a ticket to Princeton (not Princeton Junction. You get off the train at Princeton Junction and take the connecting shuttle train to Princeton.) The venue is 8 blocks from the Princeton Train Station with a lovely walk through the Princeton University Campus (0.8 mi.) Princeton is a dining center in NJ – consider having dinner before Tango. MAP

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.

VOLUNTEERS MAKE THESE EVENTS HAPPEN
Every event has a pre-party hosted by Jon where the chairs and lights are put in place. And there is an after party hosted by Warren where everything is put away again. and an after-party. Sylvie needs a few additional volunteers for these parties. It does not have to be every week, Sylvie can make it fit your schedule. Party members get free admission.
Contact Sylvie (sylvie.brien.vo@gmail.com) if you can help. Thanks!
