February’s Milonga Utopia features special guest DJ Clint Rauscher of Atlanta. Clint will make us fall in love with his mesmerizing tandas and keep us dancing until 2 am. We will bring our usual assortment of delicious munchies and refreshments, a sparkling door prize, and of course, our famous Tango Utopia hospitality. Come out and show your love for tango!
Clint will also teach a workshop on Saturday afternoon, so stay tuned for more details!
Ring in the new year in Tango Utopia style! We’ve joined forces with Triangle Tango to host our third annual New Year’s Eve Milonga TONIGHT ($20). This year, we’ll celebrate at a NEW LOCATION–JL TaeKwonDo Academy on 4031 Davis Drive in Morrisvillle. Come at 8 pm to enjoy a scrumptious family-style dinner, and then, dance into the wee hours of morning of 2015. It will be cold outside but warm on our wooden tango floor as we move to the rhythmic melodies played by special guest DJ Angel Montero from Atlanta. Over 100 local and out-of-town guests will be there, so we’re sure to have a fabulous time.
If more fun and more tango are on your list of New Year’s resolutions, then start the year off right at Triangle Tango’s Brunch Milonga ($10). Jae will keep us dancing from 12-4 pm at the same location.
After back-to-back days of dancing, we’ll rest our feet until Monday’s classes. January 5th is the last class in the series for Beginners (7 pm) and Intermediates (8:30 pm). The new series of classes start on January 12th. You can sign up now on Meetup or simply show up then.
Of course, if you’re not too tired from dancing, you can always try the Sunday Práctica on January 4th from 3-6 pm hosted by John Singletary.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all we could do
Was write this little note from the Tango Utopia crew
We’ll spend Christmas Day with our families and friends
Then count down the hours ‘til we tango again
On Friday night at 7:30, we’ll dust off our shoes
And head down to TDS to practice our new moves
Monday’s classes will happen as they always do
We’ll learn new techniques and have lots of fun, too!
Beginners will learn how to walk to the cross in style
And Intermediates will dance rhythmic turns for miles
Our New Year’s Eve Milonga will have 100+ folks
Dancing and hungry for Brunch the next day, we hope
If you need to RSVP, please do so quick
So we can save you a tanda with Jolly St. Nick
We hope you don’t mind if we cut this note short
We’ve got presents to wrap and a few to be bought
But we want to shout and exclaim with delight—
Happy Christmas to all and we’ll see you Friday night!
