Special thanks to all of our die-hard supporters who are simply unstoppable.
As well to our friendly instructors Luis and Analia, who always have a warm greeting for everyone walking through our doors.
Hat tip to our gate-keeper Tibor who keeps the traffic moving. You are all the best
I just love how defiantly all of you tell this bad weather; "We are the storm!"
Our passion for Argentine Tango will not be stopped by some iddy-biddy rain clouds.
Together, we all keep this Milonga so lively, fun and steamy like no other around.
You all are what makes Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga 2....
"The place to be every Thursday night!"
I thank you for your support and loyalty.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
We are the home of "Tango Etiquette".
Our gents are gallant and our ladies are classy. Gentlemen are exceedingly polite when requesting a lady to dance and our ladies are demure and courteous.
I prepare the full combination of Tango spirit, fine music, professional instruction, live entertainment, beautiful glimmering hardwood dance floor, spacious venue, dancing Al-Fresco on our outdoor deck, dim-lit romantic ambiance, snack table, ample parking, convenient location that is about15 minutes from the GW Bridge, gallant gentlemen, elegant ladies, and a passion
that electrifies everyone upon entry.
RECOGNITION REPORT:
Our talented and popular friend Jack Hanley returned and played us music to dance the night away. What a fun tango party we had!
Everyone complimented his command of music and sensational Tandas.
At Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga II, we have a great time together.
We are the place where Tango Etiquette is our brand. Our members display it wherever they go.
TANDAS:
We add adobo and sofrito to spice up our Tandas. Our Tandas are a delicious mix of Salsa, Mambo, Merengue and social style dance that simply keep you on the dance floor. Yet, we consistently remain loyal to our roots.
Remember, here is where we always keep traditional Argentine Tango alive!
All skill levels are taught by Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez every Thursday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. We try to start the class on time and give those of you who want to take the group lesson time to settle in.
I like to pepper our newsletters with terminology, history, and factoids to expand your Tango knowledge.
Tango is not only about learning steps, but understanding and listening to the music.
Each artist interprets the same music /song that you dance to, but the musical styles are different.
Your ear, needs to listen so that you can dance to each interpretation from those artists elegantly.
It is written all over the place that the best way to improve your dancing is to know the music you are dancing to as your body moves with the different styles, so that you may look and be lead gracefully on the dance floor. ("you are not robots")
Courtesy Corner: Common courtesy, good manners and tango etiquette always go a long way in making and keeping friends. What happens at Terri's Firehouse Tango - Stays in Terri's Firehouse Tango!
