Thanks to all of the Milongueros, for the smooth moves and classic look we are becoming known for. What a high energy and fun time we had. Good vibes, music and only OUR die-hards keep dancing to the last minute of the last "La Cumparsita". Nobody wanted to leave. What a fun time!
For sure, we will continue with the dim-lights ambiance and captivating music. Notice, we are attracting a diverse crowd of people and the mix is bringing out the elegant Tango dancers inside of you. This was a great way to begin September. Let's keep making it better together.
We officially own the bragging rights over our gentlemen, as we are fast becoming the envy of the Tango community. Our ladies dress so classy, dance so refined, that the secret is out; you are clearly the inspiration. Guy's continue to be gallant on and off the dance floor.
**"Rules of Tango Etiquette": In the art of Tango seduction, it is more than steps and moves, but mastering courtly conduct also. It projects an air of confidence but tempered by impeccable good manners.
Tango encourages our guys to "coax" the lady onto the dance floor, to "court" her , "beguile" her, "win" her into his masculine embrace. The gentleman is dashing, the lady is hesitantly demure.
First and foremost, it is always the ladies feminine discretion over her level of resistance before she is persuaded. In Tango, the gentleman has to win her over. Guys be gallantly chivalrous but resolute. Ladies be artfully coy but consenting. **
Our guest instructors, Karina Romero and Jorge presided over a dynamic lesson of traditional Tango. She is now teaching us the Tango state of mind, attitude, and art of the dance. The one on one sessions clearly boosts your confidence and sharpens your skills. You re ready for next level stuff, this is where it is paying off for all of you. Even your hand movements, eye
contact, and expression, all convey the tango attitudes and your stride toward personal excellence. Bravo. Trust me, it is working.
The secret is simplicity over complexity, improves your personal technique, command over your steps, dignified self-image, and dance floor etiquette. It is worth restating, just how quickly so many of you overcame your initial shyness that is normal to the first time in a group setting. Then just as quickly, developed your own unique
individuality and personal style that belongs to you. It is all yours. Claim it and name it.
The Milonga began with the classic melodies of strings and unmistakable sounds of the "bandoneon" directly from the play-list of our very own DJ Sue Dee.
