TERRI's FIREHOUSE TANGO-MILONGA II
MESSAGE FROM TERRI:
Dear Friends and Members:
Terri's TANGO HAIKU: Naomi Hotta ~ "Warning: tango contains highly addictive ingredients, such as pain, pleasure, passion, excitement, connection, freedom, torment, and bliss. In seven out of ten cases it takes over a person's life."
Despite a few Thursdays without Terri's Firehouse Tango Milonga II, the turnout was terrific.
Our brave souls resolved to live life and Tango with more gusto than before these involuntary shutdowns.
We are just getting started to begin the new year, with greater excitement, dancing, being with friends and welcoming new ones to our Thursday Milonga.
Tango Report:
We started the first January of 2021 with bold, lively, elegant and genuinely wonderful people. No better way to kick off the New Year than together!
The energy and enthusiasm was high as we welcomed everyone back to us, with the addition of wonderful first timers.
It's a fact that our dance floor presents some of the best Tango dancers, gallant gentlemen, elegant ladies, and traditional Tango music anywhere to be found in the Tri-State area. We are the place to be every Thursday night without fail.
+++ Need I say it? Tango is non-judgmental. We are not "paused" simply because we met all of the State mandated criteria to operate.
We operate safely because we adhere to suggested guidelines. All are welcome to join us.
So be respectful of all those who make personal choices to participate and equally to those who make personal choices not to. Everyone just do your own thing. +++
If you missed this week, try not to miss out next week. Our system is working well thanks to all of your cooperation.
INSTRUCTORS REPORT:
Everyone's skills sets are continually improving and reflecting their own individuality. Our Master Tango instructors Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez have come to know each and everyone of you personally. They measure your progress and report your self confidence is high.
Naturally, every instructor has their own style and methodologies. What works and what sticks with you is all that counts.
I gently recommend every level of skill set to come by and try the lesson. You will enjoy it.

It has become quite evident that no matter where our Milongueros and Milongueras go to dance, their style and versatility are immediately recognizable as "you must be from Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga II!"
Why? Your skills, style, Tango etiquette and command of the dance floor reflect brilliantly on us all.
Seasoned Tangueros, continue to come by and join us, we all benefit from the lessons and everyone enjoys the exchanges of style and comportment so much. Come on over. This is the place for Tanqueros to Tango.
I guarantee you will have fun.
