We just can’t wait to see what Kelly Ray has to say about suspensions this Thursday at SPC.
Many thanks to Maurizio Najt for a fabulous performance at our hotter than Hades milonga Saturday night. Some pictures of the milonga and a few from last week here:

And you will be too if you join us at SPC at 8 tonight to see Lesley Mitchell demonstrate how to get the quality of your tango movements just right so you can move easily, confidently, smoothly, and embellish to your heart’s content.
Don’t forget we’ve got our Milonga Brava on Saturday, a milonga with all the embellishments – live music by Maurizio Najt, great food by Nelly, lovely wine (if you choose to bring it), good dancers, nice people. You can count on that because we’d never embellish the truth.

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.

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.
Princeton University is offering a 6 week series of lessons, open to the public, at the Wilson Dance Studio starting at 7pm on Monday, June 18. See the Princeton Tango Club website for more information.
We’ve got one coming up – June 30th at All Saints with the fabulous live music of Maurizio Najt. It will be, in a word, beautiful.

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:

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.

Oh, you didn’t fall for that old chestnut, did you? Well the answer, of course, is practice, practice, practice!
That’s what we’ll be doing this Thursday at 8 at the Suzanne Patterson Center – a practica only, with no lesson. We’ve got a milonga coming up on June 30th and we want you all to be dancing like finalists on Dancing With The Stars. As you can see from this week’s pictures, some of you are there already.

We’ve got birthday pictures from last week, merry-go-rounds and pivoting sweeps for this week and a milonga coming up on June 30th. Summer’s off to a good start.
Join us Thursday at 8 for ChuLo‘s lesson on calesitas and planeos, two very flashy moves that will make your tango look ready for prime time. That’s at SPC. Admission $12 or $5 for students with ID.

If you would like to have a birthday dance at a practica, please let us know. On the other hand, if you’d like one of your friends to have a birthday dance, it’s probably a good idea to let them know, or you may be in for an unanticipated planeo or two. One way or another someone will be memorialized.
Oh, you know where this is leading…We wish you a Happy Memorial Day!
