Terri's Report for May 4th 2023:
WE HAD FUN! WE HAD A LOT OF FUN! LAUGHTER AND TANGO GO TOGETHER - "Like no place else!"
Last week's Instructor Rainier Pereira's group lesson was terrific and fun! (see
end of class demonstration) EVERYONE HAD A BLASTS!
DJ Rainier selections were a hit!
Our Milonga was filled with fun and laughter. Everyone in the room had unstoppable Tango power. The DJ's and Instructors at our Milonga enjoy inviting our ladies to dance.
YOU MUST CHECK THIS OUT - "We dance like we just don't care!!!" This is how we do it:
Spontaneous Fun! This is the mixture of confidence, diversity, and friendships we make every Thursday night!
Our dance floor was alive with everyone having non-stop fun. He brought us diversity and variety as both DJ and gallant dance partner.
NOTES OF PRAISE:
*The diversity of styles and variety of instructors/DJs are noticeably paying off for each of you.
*I see the improvement, rise in confidence, and how you are developing an ear for the different musical nuances.
*This is why Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga is the
trend setter in our community and you are the example of it where-ever you are.
*Thank you for choosing us to hang-out with on your Thursday nights. Bravo!
*(See the video of the end of the class demonstration.)
"Tango is diverse. Tango is unique to your personality. Tango is the
expression of your passion. Tango is never boring!"

Our vibe is our

Another word about Tango is "etiquette." It is a major part of Tango culture. Our guys are gallant. Our ladies are classy. Our distinction is our cool, our etiquette, and our mutual respect for one another.

Our secret sauce is we create good vibes here that are just nowhere else to be found.

TALKING POINTS-WE TEACH WHAT WE PREACH:
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.
