2023
GROUP LESSON:
Conducted by our charismatic and charming instructor Rainier (Ray) Pereira.
Milonga/ Social by our wizard of spin DJ Richard Ariza, who is masterful on the dance floor with our ladies as much as he is skillful selecting our
music.
NOTES OF PRAISE:
It is admirable how everyone is picking up on diverse styles so naturally each week.
Notice how each of you adapt to it and apply your own individuality and personal style. Looking good! Bravo!
I do appreciate how our instructors and DJ's invite our own ladies to personally join and guide in each of the lessons and social time. This is "gallant."
Each time you step out and participate is by far the best way to learn and build confidence at the same time.
*(See the video of the end of the class
demonstration.)
OBSERVATIONS:
Tango is diverse. Tango is unique to your personality. Tango is the expression of your passion. Tango is never boring!

Bring your friends. So much to learn alongside people who are non-judgmental and amazingly friendly. This is the place to be!
That is another reason why we are the "friendliest Milonga in town."

TERRI'S TANGO TEAM REPORT:
Meet the mighty 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 if we have technical difficulties. He represents management and maintains policy. Tibor is the name, Tango is the game!
See you there!

GENERAL REPORT:
Share the videos and photos with your friends on social media and encourage them to join us. We are not
snooty here.
NEW STUFF:
Encourage each other as much as I encourage you. Praise each other, compliment each other and coach each other. We are not competitors. We are Tango dancers and Tango friends. Etiquette and traditional good manners set us apart from everywhere else.
TALKING POINTS:
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!
I offer everyone a variety of styles each week, led by top shelf master instructors. I hire them to lead by example, coach you, improve your self confidence, and sharpen the skills

We all learn from each other. We all coach each other. We all enjoy each other like no place else.
Your own unique style will be evident and noticed wherever you go to
dance other than a Thursday night with us.
Naturally, every instructor has their own style and methodologies. What works and what sticks with you is all that counts.
