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!

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

Thanks to all of you who came to our milonga Saturday night. It was a fabulous time. Great live music, great food, great people. When you get Vittoria and Guillermo, Lesley and Kelly, and the two Annas from Philadelphia all on the dance floor at the same time, that’s a critical mass of really, really, really good dancers. It makes a milonga feel like Buenos Aires.

Special thanks to the brilliant Bandoneonist Emmanuel Trifilio, to our pop-up surprise performer, Rebecca Salazar of the glorious voice, and to Lou Becerra of CJDS for teaching a terrific Beginners Lesson. Click below for pictures.

Join us Thursday at 9:15 pm for an exciting lesson with Vittoria and Guillermo on salidas. It’s where you begin, how you get on the dance floor. Vittoria and Guillermo have gotten on some  of the best with style and panache. They will reveal their secrets to us. If you start big, good things are sure to follow, don’t you think?

We’ve straightened out our heads, our calendars and our Popsicle stick collection. Viva is tonight at 9:15 at SPC.

Lesley Mitchell  wraps up her milonga series with a review of the material covered so far. To that she will add some variations and show us how to make sequences of the steps we already know. We told you that you’d be doing a milonga if you stuck with it. There’s just one thing left to do. Boogie on down to SPC tonight and learn how to do a milonga with finesse.

Speaking of finesse, we’ve definitely got some in store for you on Saturday at our Milonga Magnolia. It starts with award winning Bandoneonist, Emmanuel Trifilio, from the legendary Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires. 

It includes a Raw Beginners’ Lesson by Lou Becerra of CJDS. And then there’s food by Nelly. You know it’s going to be good. That’s 8 o’clock Saturday at All Saints Church.

The yoga class which precedes Viva Tango in the winter is taking a break tonight, so we get an extra hour of dancing! Practica starts at 8:00pm at the Suzanne Patterson Center.

Lesley Mitchell  will teach a milonga class at 9:00 and she’ll be back next week for the final installment in our milonga series. That’s two more opportunities to learn how to milonga, people!

If you’ve been paying attention and you attend all four milonga classes, you will posilutely, absotively be doing a milonga before it’s over. If not, Lesley will take you home with her and make you do remedial asanas until you’re enlightened. (That’s your moment of Zen for the day.)

Nine days from now, April 14th, is our Milonga Magnolia at All Saints. We’ll have live music by acclaimed Bandoneonist Emmanuel Trifilio and yes, there will definitely be milonga tandas. if you didn’t have a good reason to learn to milonga before, you’ve got one now.
