Of a terrific series of lessons on technique by Lesley Mitchell and Kelly Ray. It’s lovely to know how to tango, but better still to get your movements exactly right, lending grace and elegance to your dance. If you’d like your tango to be comme il faut, join us at SPC Thursday at 8 for Lesley’s next class.

That takes care of the middle of the week, but we’re not done with you yet. We want to see you on the weekend too. Our Milonga Brava is this Saturday, June 30 at All Saints Church. It features the very accomplished composer, teacher and pianist Maurizio Najt.

If you want to be right in the middle of things this weekend, you’ve simply got to come!

In several ways:

First – We’re bringing Kelly Ray to you tonight at 8. He’ll be teaching leaders’ technique, focusing on the quality of movement. That’s a cool teacher with a cool subject.

Second – We’ve got ice cream and other cool offerings in, you know, the other sense of cool.

Third – We’re having a cool milonga next Saturday, June 30 with live music by the very cool, very exciting Maurizio Najt on keyboard.

There. We’re doing our bit for the heat wave. If you’d like to be cool too, we suggest you read our Tango Etiquette page and join us tonight at SPC.

Are we cool now?

No, we haven’t become the Ministry of Silly Walks. We’ve become the School of Beautiful Tango Movement. To further that end, we’ve got Kelly Ray, Philadelphia’s premier tanguero, to teach beautiful leading. That’s Thursday at 8 at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission $12 or $5 for students with ID.

June 7&14, 2012

We’re less than two weeks away from our Milonga Brava – June 30 with the very accomplished, very acclaimed Maurizio Najt on keyboard. Save the date.

But beautiful

Tango’s funny, or it’s sad. Or it’s quiet, or it’s mad. It’s a good thing, or it’s bad, but beautiful…

That’s what we’re working on this week under Lesley Mitchell‘s guidance -Beautiful walks, beautiful following, beautiful embellishments. Improve the quality of your movement and beauty will follow you everywhere. And what we need most of all to appreciate the beauty is men. Yes, there will be something in it for you too. So come one and all, leaders and followers, to Viva at SPC  tonight, Thursday at 8.

Not to worry.  We’ve got the solution. Lesley Mitchell and Kelly Ray will teach a series of lessons on leaders’ and followers’ technique, starting this week. 

It’s all about how you make your basic movements in tango. If Lesley and Kelly have their way with you, you’ll be making them correctly, gracefully, with style and finesse.

Come see for yourself, this Thursday at 8 at SPC. Admission $12 or $5 for students with ID. And mark your calendars now for our next milonga:

Practice! Practice! Practice!

If only you’d followed that advice when your mother first told you, think where you’d be now. Well, here’s another chance.

We’re having a practica tonight from 8 to 11:45 at SPC. If you’d like a little guidance while practicing your tango, feel free to ask one of the Vivas.

Good food, good fun, good music, an all around good time. Admission $10 and $5 for students with ID.

Don’t forget, our next milonga is Saturday, June 30 at All Saints. We’ll have the spectacular live music of Maurizio Najt. Mark your calendars.

Pablo Mosteiro Romero will be performing at Viva on Thursday May 10 at our May Milonga. Pablo is a composer, a pianist and a singer. This very talented artist is also the creator and host of Death of Tango, a Saturday evening (6-8pm) radio show on WPRB 103.3FM.

Pablo’s tango immersion will be evident when you see him perform. He plays tango on the radio, plays tango on the piano, sings tango, composes tango and even dances tango. You don’t want to miss this.

Join us Thursday at 8 at the Suzanne Patterson Center where you can see at least three, and probably four, of Pablo’s talents on display.

Refreshments will be provided but please feel free to bring a bottle of wine to share.

Admission $15, $7 for students with ID
