Cris Grapa birthday added at the last minute
Cris was able to adjust her very busy schedule in order to celebrate her birthday with us tomorrow, Thursday, December 22nd. This may be the last opportunity for a Birthday dance with Carl before he heads for Florida.  

Don't miss this super-celebratory tango.  The tangueras get to dance with Francis, and the tangueros have the opportunity to dance with two awesome ladies, Cris and Marie.

Anniversary of Marie and Francis - December 22

We are always lucky to be able to host any Gregoire celebration, and next week's anniversary is no different.  Francis will start the dance with Marie, and then all the tangueros and tangueras will cut in to tango with this awesome couple.   As always, we look forward to this Gregoire celebration with many delicious goodies brought by Francis and Marie.  




 
If heaven is anything like celebrating one’s birthday at Firehouse Tango, it has a lot to recommend it.  Frankly, I’d rather be at Firehouse.  Thank you lovely tangueras, for a birthday memory I shall cherish.  Con mucho amore,

I keep saying I do not want to celebrate any more birthdays, but how many men will line up to dance with me, if not for the traditional tributes on birthdays.....oh  well, you know that is not really true because our tanqueros dance with all of the ladies...
