Terri's Report for April 13th 2023:
WE HAD FUN! WE HAD A LOT OF FUN! LAUGHTER AND TANGO GO TOGETHER - "Like no place else!"
Last week's Instructors Carlos & Maureen's group lesson
was off the charts. Their hands-on demonstrations are excellent. (see end of class demonstration) Do not miss out on them again! They are on the schedule for 27th April, Thursday. Mark your calendars.
DJ Carlos Urrego's playlist had the tango floor on fire that burned it up. His energy lit up the room when he invited the ladies to dance and led them with his unique
style.
Our dance floor was alive with everyone having non-stop fun. He brought us diversity and variety as both DJ and gallant dance partner. He 'll be back soon. Don't miss him again! I have him on the schedule for April 27th. Mark your calendars.
NOTES OF PRAISE:
*The diversity of styles and variety of instructors/DJs are noticeably paying off for each of you.
*I see the improvement, rise in confidence, and how you are developing an ear for the different musical nuances.
*This is why Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga is the trend setter in our community and you are the example of it
where-ever you are.
*Thank you for choosing us to hang-out with on your Thursday nights. Bravo!
*(See the video of the end of the class demonstration.)
"Tango is diverse. Tango is unique to your personality. Tango is the expression of your passion. Tango is never
boring!"

Our vibe is our brand. Our niche is Traditional Argentine
Tango.
WHAT YOU GET: Well worth repeating
I bring us the best talent, the hottest entertainment, and the coolest Milongueros all under one roof every single Thursday night!
Another word about Tango is "etiquette." It is a major part of Tango culture. Our guys are gallant. Our ladies are classy. Our distinction is our cool, our etiquette, and our mutual respect for one another.
This Milonga remains fresh and new for over 20 years because
this is where good people just like you meet, learn from each other, and dance like no one is watching.
VIDEO ARCHIVES FOR YOUR PLEASURE:
The end-of-group class
demonstration and explanation were magnificently performed by my wonderful Guest Master Tango instructors Carlos & Maureen Urrego. They are terrific. Take a bow.

We inspire everyone to embrace our passion for traditional Argentine tango. This is our

TALKING POINTS-WE TEACH WHAT WE PREACH:
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.
