Valentine’s Day is coming up. Love it or hate it, you’ve got to deal with it. We at Viva Tango have been thinking there’s only one way to handle it, whether it’s old love, new love, unrequited love or lost love. Simply tango the night away.

We’ve planned something very special so you can do just that. My Funny Valentine Milonga will be held on February 14th (yes, that’s a Tuesday) at the beautiful Tusk Restaurant on Route 206 in Montgomery.

Our milonga will have bar service, but if you want to eat, which is probably always a good idea, check out the Tusk Restaurant website. The chef is offering two scrumptious prix fixe dinners for Valentine’s Day. If you hurry, you might just be able to book a table before it’s too late. Call 908 – 829 – 3417 to make your dinner reservation now.

A beautiful restaurant, glorious food, nice drinks, romantic music. We hope you’re getting the hint that we want you to be our Valentine.

And don’t forget our Valentine’s warm up – Chulo’s back by popular demand, teaching at 8 this Thursday.

The hottest, trendiest, most au courant thing in tango these days is Villa Urquiza style. The hottest tangueros, of course, are Porteños. Wouldn’t you know, we’ve got both!

Vittoria and Guillermo return tonight straight from a Villa Urquiza infused tour of Buenos Aires to teach us just what we want to know – elegant Villa Urquiza style combination turns with sacadas. You’ll learn how to blend those with pauses in the right place. Think of them as Villa Urquiza style pauses.

Please join us tonight for Vittoria and Guillermo’s special lesson at 8 pm. The practica begins at 9 pm, all at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Admission is $12, $5 for students.

Oh, and feel free to think of us as hot! hot! hot!

You’ve got a date with a Porteño

That doesn’t happen very often, does it? Well, here’s your chance. Marcelo “Chulo” Manfredi is teaching at Viva Tango tonight. Come to meet him, to learn a little something about the Villa Urquiza style of tango (here are the current Tango World Champions, Diego and Natasha, dancing their Villa Urquiza style) and to have a good time with a lot of nice people.

Join us at 8 p.m. at the Suzanne Patterson Center in downtown Princeton. Admission is $12, $5 for students.

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.
