We've had many requests for Fran Chesleigh to give a vals lessons.  You asked - we promised - As promised - done! Fran Chesleigh, our incredible Firehouse Tango resident instructor, will be teaching one all-level vals class (from 7 to 9 PM) in place of his usual beginner and intermediate classes.  For the best results, please try to come at 7. 

 

As many of our regulars know, Argentine social dancing includes not only tango, but two other dance forms as well - vals and milonga. Since tango is what we focus on primarily in our weekly classes here at the Firehouse, people are often a bit timid about getting up to dance when a vals or milonga are played. In October, Fran taught milonga every week.

 

This Thursday, November 21st, Pat and Fran will be teaching a one day special class in vals. Their goal is to bring everyone from beginners to advanced dancers up to speed on this exciting Argentine dance. They will begin with the absolute basics of the dance, and move quickly through as much material as time and your progress will allow. By the end of the night, you'll know what vals is, how it's danced, and how much great fun it is to dance.

 

Cris would like to know if any Firehouse folks are going to Stardust this weekend.  Below is her message.  You can reply to me at firehousetango@gmail.com  I wish we could go, but we will be out of town for Thanksgiving. 

Hi Sue,

Please let me know if you are aware of any Firehouse folks attending Stardust this weekend.

I know it's last minute but, since Fran & Pat won't be there, I'd like to see if we can get a table together.
Also, without Carl coming this time, Sylvester is without a roommate.

I need to be able to contact them on Wed so we can get it to Connie/Linda and have it taken care of by Thurs at the latest.

It was real good to see you and Joe and to celebrate your Anniversary together last week.
You sure know how to throw a party!

Hugs and kisses.
Cris.
