~Jacques D'ambous

I welcome all of our First-Timers, All-Timers, and Future -Timers.
Sign up for and share our Newsletters!
Every week I am surprised and pleased by emails from different parts of the country and abroad expressing how they enjoy the videos. Sadly some from Argentina who share their happiness in seeing and praising these great instructors and dancers wish they were here to share. Some have said to please keep sending the videos.
They want to join us in our continued journey to Argentine Tango.
Our Masters of Argentine Tango Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez are present every Thursday to guide and teach the very popular Group Class.
All levels are invited to join the class including the seasoned dancers. Everyone is welcome to join in for the fun.
Check out the end of class demonstration: Thursday, August 19th 202l:
DJ /Master Tango Instructor Luis Ramirez led the Milonga for the evening playing his wonderful selections for your dancing pleasure until lights out. Great job!
Shout out to Tibor. He is not only a wonderful greeter but he effectively keeps the door traffic flowing making every minute count for fun and Tango till lights out.
There is very little than can stop our Milongueros and Milongueras from not expressing our passion for Tango.
Together, we make this Milonga like no other around.
Your dedication and fiery passion are what makes Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga....
"The place to be every Thursday night!"
I thank you for your support and loyalty.
WHAT TO 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.
Tango Etiquette is our Terri's Firehouse -Milonga brand. Our members set themselves apart wherever they are by it.
Cortinas:
We add adobo and sofrito to spice up our Cortinas. Our Cortinas are a delicious mix of Salsa, Mambo, Merengue and social style dance that simply keep up the mood with sabor [flavor]. Yet, we consistently remain loyal to our roots.
Remember, here is where we always keep the traditional Argentine Tango alive!
TANGO REPORT:
We are fully open!
Our members continue to learn from each other as well. I adore the comments I read online about all of you. So proud of you.
We had a wonderfully fun crowd, lovely turn out, fantastic music, and just a steamy sexy dance floor.
We offer our outdoor deck to dance "al fresco" under the stars.
Everyone is welcome to join us. We are fully open. So don't forget invite all of your friends and the tango-curious to come on by and have fun here with us.
Share the videos and photos with your friends on social media and encourage them to join us. We are not snooty here.
Encourage each other as much as I encourage you. Praise each other, compliment each other, and coach each other. We are not competitors. We are Tango dancers and Tango friends. Etiquette and good manners set us apart from everyone else.
Our newsletters is peppered with tango terminology, history, and bits of factoids to help 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. Your style is yours. Own it.
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!
