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.
The stirring music played by our very own "DJ Raging Rich" Ariza, recently returned from vacation, spun his great selections of artists that kept our Milongueros gliding across the floor. The dim light casts endless silhouettes of graceful dancers completely in sync with the music. It was magical to watch. They danced to every tanda, even after "La Cumparsita" played, several Milongueros refused to call it a night.
Our guest instructor, Silvana Brizuela-Weigel, was dynamic teaching the art of the dance. Everyone embraced her style and enjoyed the lesson. Our milongueros display alluring self- confidence on the dance floor. You own it. Keep up the good work.
I re-emphasize that you all draw as much from our instructors excellent skills in the time we have them. Make good use of them. You are absorbing their instruction very well. It shows. Pay attention. Stay focused.
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.

**"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 and partner 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.
