The Triangulo Newsletter : June 2008

Special Schedule this Week! 6pm Milonga tomorrow, Beginner's Night Out Wednesday, and much more...

"Tango is self-transformation." - Sally Sommer, dance historian

Viejo vs. Nuevo: Back-to-Back Milongas Starting 6pm, Tue 5/27

Triangulo travels in time! Join us this Tuesday for two special back-to-back milongas: (1) the Viejo Milonga starts with vintage tango & canyengue, then moves chronologically thru the 1950s (6-9:15 pm, DJ Richard, $10); (2) stay tuned afterward for the Nuevo Milonga, which transports us from the 1950s to Piazzolla to the present (9:30-12:30, DJ Lung-Kuei, $8 before 10, $10 after). Dance both milongas for $15!

Seaport School Trip, Sunday 6/1

Join Carina and fellow students on a field trip to the South Street Seaport Tango Porteno milonga. The weather is warm, the moonlight is soft, and the view is lovely - hope to see you there!

June's Theme of the Month: Tango Vals (Waltz)

Sometimes referred to as Vals Criollo or Vals Cruzada, the tango waltz is danced in 3/4 time rather than 4/4 (or 2/4) time. Learn how to dance to the spirited music of the tango vals, incorporate turns, and keep pace with the vals rhythm - a rare opportunity!

Practica: Practitioner Playlist Nights - 6/18 Naoko Hanamura

If you've got some songs you've been wanting to dance to, play 'em out and play 'em loud at your own Practitioner Playlist Night! Our first three Practitioner Playlist Nights - with Mark, Jeff & Eva and Monica - have been great forums for sharing and discovering new music.
