HAPPY THANKSGIVING! There will be no Thursday Milonga on Thanksgiving Nov 27. VivaTango is Thankful for all the Dancers that support the Tango Family. Give Thanks this coming week. December will start of with guest instructor, Robin Thomas and then Pablo and Iwona and end with VivaTango’s Holiday Milonga!!!


VivaTango YouTube Channel  Take a peek at our YouTube channel.

Thursday, December 4th. Robin Thomas and Dagny Miller are hosting our milonga tonight. They have been teaching together at Yale Tango Club for five years. Dagny organizes the Abrazos Tango Festival and the Blue Moon milonga, both in NYC. She has travelled and performed throughout the USA. Robin has been teaching and DJ-ing tango for 23 years, he taught tango in Princeton for 17 years and is known for growing the tango communities in several universities, specifically in New York City.

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

Thursday, September 25th. Los Chantas are a multinational tango ensemble based in New York City. Their repertoire draws from the great Argentine tango tradition from the guardia vieja to the present. The group has been playing in milongas, clubs, theaters, and other venues in and around New York since its inception in 2002. With original arrangements of songs by Gardel, Troilo, Salgán, Piazzolla, and others, and a playful, improvised style, Los Chantas infuse classic tangos with new life and unique flavor. David Hodges – bandoneon, Emilio Teubal – keyboards, Sergio Rayes – violin. Plus, Omar Lagos who comes from Mendoza, Argentina will DJ. He is based in New York and is very popular DJ in and around the city.

7:00 pm: – Milonga begins with DJ Omar Lagos.
8:30 pm: – First live music set with Los Chantas Trio.
Admission: $20  EVENT LINK

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
