TERRI's FIREHOUSE TANGO-MILONGA II
MESSAGE FROM TERRI:
Dear Friends and Members:
*Well, we did not confuse anyone with our Saturday Milonga instead of Thursday - but the turn-out was amazing. Which proves that Terri's Firehouse Tango Milonga II is the place to be no matter what day of the week we hold it on.
*Still open for a refreshing breeze: Terri's Tango under the Stars Al Fresco is now available exclusively to us for the summer on the outdoor deck. Come and hang out under the stars!!!
* We are still the place to be to dance Tango all night long.
Tango Report:
We held our Milonga last Saturday instead of Thursday one time only because the space was being worked on. Yet, the event drew in such a wonderfully diverse crowd.
They came up from all parts of NY City to dance the night away. Looks like the word is out and we are the place to be.
Our event streams live on the Facebook-Live feed. Check it out:
+++ Need I say it? Tango is non-judgmental. We are not "paused" simply because we met all of the State mandated criteria to operate.
We operate safely because we adhere to suggested guidelines. All are welcome to join us.
So be respectful of all those who make personal choices to participate and equally to those who make personal choices not to. Everyone just do your own thing. +++
DJ Carlos Naranjo aka "Mr. Funtastic" entertained us with his fine selections and continuous chain of irresistible Tango music.
Our DJ brings charisma and fun-loving personality we all enjoy as much as the music.
If you missed this week, try not to miss out next week. Our system is working well thanks to all of your cooperation.
