MESSAGE FROM TERRI
Terri's TANGO HAIKU:
Dear Friends and Members:
Terri's TANGO HAIKU: "Tango is an art form, passion is the paint, music are the colors, the dance floor is the canvass, and each of you are the Picasso of your own Dibujo." ~ Terri's Haiku
My deepest gratitude to all of you who are always ready with words of encouragement, assistance and who so generously just lend a hand.
It is you all who continue to journey to Tango with us every Thursday.
We welcome our new comers and all that travel from Brooklyn, Queens, and tri-state areas.
The March winds are here, but that does not stop our Milongueros and Milongueras to continue our journey to Tango!
Your passion and love for Tango drives your determination and enthusiasm. Nothing can stop us.
Some may call us crazy, but evidently, Terri's Firehouse Tango is not for the normal, but for the exceptionally passionate. Well worth repeating.
I am so proud of you all who have joined us from the beginning and now dance Tango with class, style and the passion we all possess at the place to be; Terri's Firehouse Tango II Milonga every Thursday, at 105 Grove Avenue Maywood, New Jersey.
Tango Report:
Our wonderful Milongueros and Milongueras really made it a fun night.
It's a fact that our dance floor presents some of the best Tango dancers, gallant gentlemen, elegant ladies, professional dancers who come to dance traditional Tango music with style.
We are the place to be every Thursday night without fail because we keep traditional Argentine Tango alive!
Enjoy the video performance by our Masters of Argentine Tango, Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez. It is well worth seeing again.

+++ Need I say it? Worth repeating, 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. +++
