Thanks to you all, we are becoming known for having milongueros and milongueras with smooth moves and Tango authenticity. The high energy and fun time we have here has branded us as the "best Milonga in Bergen County".
Good vibes, music and only OUR die-hards keep dancing to the last minute of the last "La Cumparsita".
Everyone loves to linger onto the final wisp of music, intermingle, and bid each other good-night until we meet again next Thursday.
That flowing music! One stopped and the other began, in a seamless transition, synchronized between "DJ Cool Carlos" and the striking musical minstrel duo of Maurizio Najt and Javier Sanchez, on the kinetic keyboard and bold bandoneon.
This unstoppable tag team kept even the most die-hards on their Tango toes. Their combination of instruments and DJ skills complemented each other and lit up that dance floor all night long.
For sure, we will continue with the dim-lights, flickering candles 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.
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.
**"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 instructor, Karina Romero led a dynamic lesson of traditional Tango. She will continue 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 to move upward and onward to 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 showing.
Our secret is simplicity over complexity improves your personal technique, command over your steps, dignified self-image, and Tango 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. You got this.
Shout-Out to Walter and Gay Monteblanco's 10th wedding anniversary. Tango is truly for the romantic. Even in absentia, he dedicated a beautifully touching, soul inspiring, "vals" entitled; "Corazon de Oro" [Heart of Gold].
It was beautifully interpreted by the strumming keys of Maurizio Najt and the soulful sounds from Javier Sanchez Bandoneon.
Then in their honor, everyone converged onto the dancefloor and under the dim lights melted together as if one person, dancing to their romantic anniversary song. We love you Walter and Gay!
It looked great live-streaming on Facebook shot by the vivacious and elegant Doc Sharon and Black-Hat John Rovito of Club Tango!
