Tangueros Y Tangueras,

Following the dazzling performance, lesson and practica of last week, Hugo and Angeles will be back this coming Thursday, February 28 for a busy schedule.

They will teach a class for beginners at 7:15 PM, then at 8:30 PM, an intermediate class, following with a practica. As usual we will serve light food (there is a rumor that some of us are relying on Nelly’s food as part of their late dinner. Can anyone blame them?).

Please join Viva Tango this Thursday.

We saw Hugo and Angeles perform in their U.S. debut and we are much exited to have them at Viva tonight, Thursday February 21, at the Suzanne Patterson Center in Princeton NJ.

If you ever wished to see Dancing with the Stars live in person, or travel to Buenos Aires then you do not want to miss seeing Hugo Mastrolorenzo and Angeles Chanaha performance of Argentine Tango. Doors will open at 8 PM and the performance will start at 8:30 PM. Food will be served after the performance. A lesson and open dancing will follow the refreshments.  Everyone is invited to participate in or watch the lesson and dancing. Admission for the evening is $12.
