VIDEO REPORT - ENJOY:
Here is the end of group class demonstration by our Masters of our Argentine Tango Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez from November 18, 202l:
Video of one of our sweetheart Milongueras Irina Horal winning a raffle for Baile a la Parrilla as a follower and Veley Dalueus as leader in an impromptu dance. They were both amazing and elegant. Really check this out:
You'll be pleased to meet Tibor. He is not only a suave greeter but his door management and traffic flow is what makes every minute count for your fun and Tango time.
He also takes all the videos of the Group Class, after lesson demonstration for our Milongueros and Milongueras to enjoy afterwards.
Tibor trouble shoots when we have technical difficulties. He represents management and maintains policy. Tibor is the name, Tango is the game!

TALKING POINTS:
Our newsletters is peppered with tango terminology, history, and bits of factoids to help expand your Tango knowledge.
Tango is not only about learning steps, but understanding and listening to the music.
Each artist interprets the same music /song that you dance to, but the musical styles are different.
Your ear, needs to listen so that you can dance to each interpretation from those artists elegantly.
It is written all over the place that the best way to improve your dancing is to know the music you are dancing to as your body moves with the different styles, so that you may look and be lead gracefully on the dance floor. Your style is yours. Own it.
Courtesy Corner: Common courtesy, good manners and tango etiquette always go a long way in making and keeping friends. What happens at Terri's Firehouse Tango - Stays in Terri's Firehouse Tango!
