But in a good way if ChuLo has anything to say about it. Marcelo Manfredi, but you can call him ChuLo, returns to Viva Tango this week with a lesson in sacadas (Spanish for displacement.)

ChuLo is gong to show us how to use ochos to maximize the dynamic in our dance and he’s going to unravel the mystery of those sacadas. That’s this Thursday at 9:15 pm.

We couldn’t help but notice that last week when Angeles started playing the Guardia Vieja, several of you who were on your way home came back and started dancing again. We liked that! So if you want to keep dancing, we’ll keep on playing music. There. Take that. And while you’re at it, if you’d like to bring a bottle of wine to share, please do.

Start swooning now

Villa Urquiza is a barrio of Buenos Aires, famed for its Sunderland Club and for the Villa Urquiza style of tango with its smooth, elegant, precise walk. This week our instructor is Marcelo “Chulo” Manfredi, a Villa Urquiza native. We’re thinking everyone is going to be a lot suaver when he’s done. You’ll have to come to  SPC Thursday at 8 p.m. so you don’t miss out. We will have smelling salts available if you’re overcome with it all or just that charmed by Chulo. It could definitely happen.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Holiday Milonga. It was a perfect evening with beautiful music, scrumptious food, festive decor and wonderful people. Yes, that means you! See for yourself in this week’s Picasa album. It went so well we’re going to see if we can do that milonga trick again soon.
