The high turn out we have been getting is thanks to all of you. You decided that we are the place to be and the people you want to be with, every Thursday night. We had another, really nice, high energy dance event.
Thanks to all of the Milongueros, for burning up the dance floor, the word is out, there is a "fire" at the "firehouse!" You made it sizzle!
My Doctor ordered me to attend and be there with you and he was right. You are all the best medicine. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
The dim-lights ambiance, vibrant music, are attracting more people and bringing out the elegant Tango dancers inside of you. We enjoyed the perfect summer night for Milongas together. [Despite the sudden downpour]
Our gentlemen are fast becoming the envy of the Tango community. Ladies, whatever it is you are doing to inspire them, keep on doing it. Guy's keep leading and the ladies will follow.
Our guest instructors was Carlos and Karen. As promised, variety, spice and another style of milonga lesson, increased your repertoire. Notice how sometimes a return to basics brings out your confidence, control, and daring. That is how we like it. Take charge.
Again, simplicity over complexity improves your personal technique, command over your steps, dignified self-image, and dance floor courtesy. It is truly noticeable, just how quickly so many of you overcame the initial shyness of a group setting and developed your own unique individuality and personal style that you own. It is all yours.
Nicely done.
The Milonga began with the dangerous Tango rhythms of "Raging Richard Ariza". ++ Warning, Tango-Milongueros and Milongueras fill the dance-floor, enrapt in each others embrace, swaying to the hypnotic melodies, inspiring strings, and masculine voices, singing of romance in the language of Tango.++
Well deserved praise moment: Carlos and Karen made the Milonga lesson fun, instructive, and inspiring. The result and outcome is obvious by how all of you look and move together. It is simply transformative.
Next Thursday: Our guest Instructors are Carlos Sampelayo and his partner Karen. We're lucky to have them again. Get all you can out of them.
Exclusively for our Firehouse Tango-Milonga II participants, Karina will continue to provide private lessons. Call for an appointment: 1 646 342-9910
Our 8th Kick Off continues next Thursday, 29 August. Rain or shine, or heatwave, our Milongueros and Milongueras will not be stopped. We will keep on dancing as end of summer nears and Autumn Tango is around the corner.
Our surprise guest DJ will be our friend, the talented, unstoppable DJ Sue Dee.

My update: I m not ashamed to say, it was emotionally overwhelming to feel welcomed back with such genuine friendship and love. Tango on wheels is now a real thing, thanks to Mike Porro. Rifky's bouquet of Roses, the assorted sweets, and the best hugs on Earth were simply magical. I will be on my feet sooner because of you. Hugs to all.
