Firehouse Tango cancelled tomorrow, Thursday, February 13
We were looking forward to celebrating our Valentine's Day Milonga tomorrow night, but, once again, the weatherman had other ideas.   His 100% assurance of 5 - 8 inches of snow and our consideration for your safety has forced us to cancel. 

We are looking forward to seeing all of you next Thursday, February 20th, when we will decorate for a late Valentine's Day.  We hope to see lots of folks in red. 


Belated Valentine's Day Milonga next Thursday, February 20

 

 Come with or without your valentine!
 
Our Valentine's Day Milonga this year will be the week after Valentine's Day.   Don't miss it!  Come with or without your valentine - Oh, and try to wear something red.  It's sure to be a great evening.  

 
Special Cortinas - Valentine's Love Songs
 
A cortina (curtain) is a short piece (20-60 seconds) of non-dance music that is played between tandas at a milonga (tango dance event). The cortina lets the dancers know that the tanda has ended. The partners can then without insult thank each other and return to their own tables, to find a new dance partner at the next tanda. Cortinas are used at many of the milongas in Argentina and Uruguay but are increasingly common elsewhere. - Wikipedia

Next week's cortinas, as promised, will be love songs as a tribute to Valentine's Day.  

Let us know if you are celebrating an occasion and would like to request special music for that night's cortinas.  We will try very hard to accommodate you.
