Thursday, January 9th. Pablo Garcia Gomez and Iwona Ionescu are very popular instructors at Viva Tango and other tango events. After the lesson Pablo and Iwona will be available at the side of the dance floor to help any dancers wishing more assistance with the lesson. This is a Viva debut for DJ Gerardo Razumney who grew up listening to tango in his native Buenos Aires. Although his generation was mostly dancing rock and roll, the essence of tango became a part of him. Gerardo likes tango from all the decades, not just the Golden Era, but also la Guardia Vieja of the late 20’s and 30’s, as well as the more modern creations from the 50’s, 60’s and contemporary ones.

7:00 pm: All levels lesson.
8:15 pm: Milonga with DJ Gerardo (de Monserrat) Razumney.
Lesson $15, Milonga $15, or Both $20.

Thursday, January 23. A duo of extraordinary musicians will play for your dancing pleasure. Maurizio Najt is a well-known regular at Viva Tango and many other events. He played a leading role in the New York Tango revival scene during the late 90’s, performing with New York Tango Trio. He also was a member of Forever Tango Orchestra. Tito Castro is a bandoneón maestro, a living legend as a composer, arranger and performer, who’s been playing his instrument for six decades, since the age of 15. He was born and raised in Buenos Aires. Tito has played at milongas of Buenos Aires during the Golden Age of Tango. DJ Urszula will keep you dancing between sets.

– Milonga begins at 7:00 pm with DJ Urszula.
– First live music set starts approx. at 8:30 pm.
– Admission: $20.

FREE EVENTS FOR VOLUNTEERS
VivaTango continues to need help to make events run smoothly. Setup only takes a little time and you do not miss any milonga time. The same is true about cleanup. Working on the welcome desk is a great way to get to know your fellow dancers. The hero of the night is the person who brings the food for the event. If you can help contactSylvie

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.

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.) MAP

Thanks for dancing at VivaTango. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions please email me at  Dennis

VivaTango wishes that all of our dancers have a meaningful Thanksgiving. There will not be a milonga event on this Thanksgiving Thursday. I would like to say that I am thankful for all of you who make up the VivaTango Family. We are a community of varied individuals that come together weekly to embrace and support each other. What could be better than that to be thankful for.

The end of 2024 is in sight, but be sure to take time out to join your Tango Family for the final 3 events. The next event will feature the return of Aluminé Deluchi and Ariel Almirón to teach and perform on Thursday December 6th. VIDEO  Then Pablo and Iwona will teach on the following week.

Mark your calendar for the Holiday Party with live music that will be on Thursday December 19. That will be our final event for 2024. Details of all these events follow.

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.

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.) MAP

Thanks for dancing at VivaTango. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions please email me at  Dennis

Tomas and Gimena are two of the most requested artists in today’s Argentine tango. They toured United States, Italy, United Kingdom, Russia, Spain, Israel, Greece, Turkey, Mexico and China, integrating important dance companies from Argentina and the United States; also as masters of  tango dance. They performed at the world famous Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, at the “Vail international dance festival” and “Israel international festival” with the show “Romper el piso” as choreography assistants and dancers. They created diverse choreographies, for dance groups and artistic education institutions of Argentina.

Tomas and Gimena were honored with an invitation to Rome to dance at the Pope Francis’ birthday party. They were sub champions of the Buenos Aires tango dance metropolitan championship 2009, where more than 200 dancing couples competed. They were finalists in the tango dance world championship. They have appeared in theaters around the world, receiving excellent reviews where they went.

They performed with the important symphonies of Dallas, Edmonton, Michigan, Milwaukee, with the show “Tango Caliente” conducted by the Grammy winner Jeff Tyzik.

​Tomas, is co-author of the book “Arte para la vida” published in Argentina, by the vocational school of artistic expression of Catamarca.

​They are creators, choreographers and stars of their production “Tierra y fuego que camina”. The title of this dance theater show, is inspired by Atahualpa Yupanqui, an Argentine poet and artist. Earth and fire is the landscape of the world and the human heart where the essence of tango is always found. The show traces the experiences of two people celebrating life in each movement, in each melody both human and divine, two pilgrims in search of dreams, pilgrims of a road that never ends. their tango brings the action of the big city and nature, as pure and elemental as Earth and Fire.
