TANGO REPORT:
Our October 14th 2021 Milonga was another fun and successful evening.
DJ Jack Hanley kept our Milongueros and Milongueras on their tango feet all night long.
Nothing will stop our Milongueros and Milongueras from expressing our passion for Tango.
Together, we make this Milonga like no other around.
Thank you for the style and caliber you all bring here that makes Terri's Milonga the quality showcase of Tango etiquette to our community.
Our Masters of Argentine Tango Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez are pleased to continue coaching us at our increasingly popular Group Class. It is worth attending just to feed off of the raw energy and vibrancy that carries over the entire night.
Every level from the curious to the seasoned are invited to share in the fun with us. It is always about fun!
Your dedication and fiery passion are what makes Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga....
"The place to be every Thursday night!"

DJ Jack Hanley's style and artist selections are a pleasure to all of our Tango Senses! If our Milonga were a rocket, his music is the jet-fuel. Add to that the variety of Spicy Cortinas and hot mix that keeps the party alive. How time flies when we're having Tango fun. (He will be back).
TERRI'S TANGO TEAM REPORT:
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. He also takes all the videos of the Group Class, after lesson demonstration and our Milongueros and Milongueras for us to enjoy afterwards. Tibor trouble shoots when we have technical difficulties. What a guy, priceless!

TALKING POINTS:
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!
