TERRI's FIREHOUSE TANGO-MILONGA II
Terri's TANGO HAIKU:
"Tango is cosmic. Astronomers recorded that stars sing in musical tones vibrating throughout the Celestial. It must be Tango because the planets dance around the Sun. It takes two to Tango even in the heavens." ~ Terri's Haiku
MESSAGE FROM TERRI:
Dear Friends and Members:
We are mindful of the stress our friends and family are experiencing in these times. As there is a time to mourn, there is a time for joy. We may both mourn for loss and celebrate life.
Worrying does not solve the problems of tomorrow, it only robs us of our peace today.
It is how we care about each other that brings us through the sadness of loss and our joy for life together.
We celebrate life together in the joy and spirit of the dance that bring us together for fellowship called Tango. We do not celebrate alone, comforted in our sadness alone and so we refuse to Tango alone.
Everyone who first walked through our door at Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga II, all share the sense of accomplishment, of mastering a challenge, and sense of achievement, when they walk out.
We build trust and greater self-confidence in each other than without. Just like Tango is made for two, so is friendship, and so is life.
We are not built to Tango alone. The experience of the embrace cannot happen on-line or without your friends touch. Only the real thing is what counts or it is not Tango.
There are no substitutes in Tango. There is no Tango that was ever engineered to be danced alone. Even in the garden of Eden, Adam was not meant to be alone in paradise without Eve. Her first words to him when they met were; "Adam it takes two to tango."
I look forward to the near future when we will hang out together at Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga together with relief, joy and thankfulness.
The music will play again, gallant gentlemen will extend their hand invitingly, the dance floor will reopen, as usual, the rest is up to you.
WHAT'S NEXT:
Here is what we can look forward to:
Teaser: We will celebrate a stupendously fabulous tango-licious reunion and re-inauguration all-in-one.
1. So many new members and others migrating from the city who found us searching for Tango while on "house arrest" are making plans to join us. Be on hand to welcome them too.
2. Enjoy the line up of talented people eager to share their skills and craft with us all on day-one of our re-opening.
3. A diverse parade of music and Instructors and Performances that will be an enchanting experience for everyone.
4. Shhhh.... I will reveal the secret formula to our success. Mix equal parts sincerity, trust, loyalty, friendship, tenacity, relentlessness, and unshakable persistence to bring out the best in each other, in one place, on the same day, every week to make life enjoyable for the short time we have.
So, until then, each Thursday night, let's commit to play these videos and listen to the music for a brief time, that we may keep our tradition alive:

Join me in defiance of any that would have the temerity to presume we will seek out our passion for life, music and Tango elsewhere without each other.
Meet you all here, until we embrace again soon. Just click on the links. Enjoy!
