Classes this Week: This is the last week of Milonga Month, and we usually transition to vals. So this week, we will look at all the really fun things you can do in vals, and why it is so often the leader's favorite dance. This class may surprise some people who thought they were doing vals just fine. Have you been dancing tango for 1 year or even 5 years, and still don't know the difference between how you dance a tango and a vals? No wonder you think you spend time to learn another move! Even after years of training and classes, this class can bring breakthroughs in understanding. Thursday lesson is cancelled, we'll see you at Victor's in Excelsior!
Tuesday Milonga: A special night, as Warren AND our snowbirds will be back in town to join us (and also at Victor's). Plus we have a birthday to celebrate, so there will be some excellent food and special dances. Join us after the lessons at 9:00 PM.
Thursday at Victor's Lounge: another fun night of Argentine dancing!. The evening starts with a 7:30 pm lesson, after which everyone will dance at 8:00 to 10:30. Come to learn, come to dance, or come just to eat, drink and enjoy. Tango is a fun way to meet new people, and exciting to try or to watch. There has been a nice number of new people who have attended these nights, so come meet someone new. Enjoy a unique evening at The Lounge at Victor's. Come with a partner or come alone. You will meet people at the lesson to dance with. Wine and cocktails along with a limited menu will be available. 205 Water St, Excelsior, MN 55331 Cover charge is $5.00
Upcoming: We will be visited by more Musicians from Buenos Aires the last week of September! Eduardo Tami has contacted me and told me that he has been invited to play at universities in Duluth, Marshall, and Anoka. More details are on the way!
Musings: This Sunday was so hectic - a late morning after a long day performing at the State Fair, a couple of privates, and then a call for a late "emergency lesson" because of the availability of a babysitter. This one didn't start until 7, which meant leaving after 8 to go to the Loring for Sunday night dancing. Really I wanted to just stay home, but I had to meet someone, so I found some extra energy and went. Once there, as I was sharing a vals on the dancefloor in that beautiful setting, I realized - this is my happy place. It was so nice to be among all my friends, sharing a nice dance, a great conversation, a couple of jokes. smiles, hugs .... what was I thinking, considering staying home and staring at some stupid screen, or catching up on my sleep or chores, when I could be out having fun? So many people don't have that luxury. They don't have a place where they can go, and all their friends are there ready to help them forget their troubles and have a good time. No more excuses. There couldn't be better therapy than social dance.
