Tango Report:
What a way to start off December with bold, lively, elegant and genuinely wonderful people to kick off the first Thursday of the last month of 2020.
I know for sure that our dance floor presents some of the best Tango dancers, gallant gentlemen, elegant ladies, and traditional Tango music anywhere to be found in the Tri-State area. We are the place to be every Thursday night without fail.
Everyone is welcome to join us and partake in our events. Let's close out 2020 with style and elegance:
History: This time was originally set-aside to celebrate the birthday of two prominent Tango stars, "Carlos Gardel and Julio de Caro".
DJ's the world over will acknowledge these luminaries by playing their renowned compositions from their era [circa. 1930's] known as [Guardia Vieja - Old Guard], as well as, the Golden Age.
We will play the original music of these master artist to include, De Carlo, Di Sardi, Troilo, Pugliese, Carlo, DeAngelis, Biagi, D'Arienzo, Canaro.
We will revive their musical spirit and our place will resound with it throughout the night. Every Tango dancer from all parts of the tri-state area are invited to attend this celebration. Don't miss it!
Celebrants are invited to wear the Argentine national colors of "Blue" in acknowledgement of this day where Tango dancers from all around the world unite to display their pride and passion for all things "Tango".
Join us. Wear your colors boldly and in unity for this globally recognized event.
+++ 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. +++
