Everyone noticed how even with a full house and lively dance floor, Tangeros stayed in their line of dance and the vibrancy flowed all night.
OUR die-hards keep dancing to the last minute of the final "Tanda." Even the DJ jumped from behind his headset to get on the dance floor too; "Tangeros don't die, we multiply!"
The stylized music spun by our dynamic guest DJ Jack Hanley, carried the night away. His dynamic personality was fun and lively.
We will enjoy "DJ Jack" again when I reschedule him. Wait till you see the talented and fun line up I am working on for you.
Our guest instructors; Karena Romero and Jorge Cardona, continued to teach us the seductive art of dance.
Your alluring self- confidence on the dance floor they've been building up in you is showing. You own it. Keep up the good work.
I advise that you continue to draw from our instructors experience. Make good use of your time with them. It's showing how much you are absorbing from them. So, pay attention. Stay focused. You're looking good but there is always more to learn.
Most assuredly, we will continue with the dim-lights, flickering candles ambiance and captivating music.
Clearly, we attract a diverse crowd of people. The word is out, our gentlemen are gallant. Our ladies are classy. Our image is refined.
Tangeros are migrating over to us because of it. We're cool people to hang out with.

**"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.
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.

***Halloween Costume Parade: 10/31/2019:***
If some may recall, in the past, three judges made the difficult determination of selecting the winning costume by multiple categories.
To spare the judges this torture, and make it more heart stopping, dramatically Hitchcock suspenseful, a spine-chilling teaser, let's try something different this year:
"Each person or couple in costume or masquerade" will receive "one white raffle ticket" upon entry.
The matching white numbered ticket will be put in a bowl, protected by a vicious creature hungry for human flesh.
I will announce the parade assembly of all costumed contestants, composed of our ghouls and goblin "white ticket holders only", for video and picture taking;
as they unashamedly, unabashedly, ostentatiously, artfully, tactlessly, flaunt themselves for the paparazzi!
An innocent bystander will be called on to render (5) white ticket drawings from the bowl.
Each matching contestant will receive one prize each.
A second drawing for everyone attending will receive "a red numbered ticket"put in a separate bowl, guarded by that same hungry creature, for a chance to receive a free half hour lesson with Karina.
It's all in good fun, sportsmanship, and good time. Cheer them on. See you there!
Other news: Karina will bring her boutique of clothes and shoes for sale.
Exclusively for our Firehouse Tango-Milonga II participants, Karina will continue to provide private lessons. Call for an appointment: 1 646 342-9910
