This Weekend in Tango, April 25-28, 2013

Greetings Utopians!

As usual we kick off the weekend with the Thursday practica at Triangle Dance Studios ($5). This event is a great way to try out the new techniques you’ve learned in a safe and fun environment (RSVP here).

Saturday is a double-dose of tango. First, Tito Restucha will be visiting the Triangle from the Argentine Patagonia to give two tango workshops on Saturday (4/27) afternoon ($25 for singles $40 for couples for one class; $40 for singles, $60 for couples for two classes). To RSVP for the workshop, please contact Amalia Restucha (Amalia.Restucha@gmail.com). 

Saturday night (4/27) we will gather for the Milonga Pichuqueando at Piazza Italia from 9PM – 1AM (905 West Main Street, Durham, NC 27701). The event and the parking are FREE

On Sunday, we rest up for the new series of 8-week classes for Beginners and Intermediates. Beginners will be introduced to tango techniques and Intermediates will learn to do more on the floor.

This Weekend in Tango, April 18-21, 2013

As usual we kick off the weekend with the Thursday night práctica at Triangle Dance Studios ($5). This event is your opportunity to get one-on-one assistance from Jae and practice what you’ve learned in class in a friendly environment.

Jae is heading to Atlanta this weekend for the workshops with Alex Krebs, but feel free to go to the Open Eye in Carrboro for Triangle Tango’s Third Friday Milonga on April 19th. This event features a FREE lesson from 8-9 PM and dancing from 9-11:30 PM ($5). If you’re a little shy about getting on the dance floor, Open Eye is also great place to sip your tea/coffee/wine while absorbing the tango atmosphere.

Then on Sunday, we rest up for the last class of the 8-week series for Beginners and Intermediates on Monday (4/22). The new cycle of classes start on April 29th, so please sign up early.

Time To Dance @Milonga Utopia -04/13

Wow!! Spring is in the air and it’s time to shake off those winter time blues and no better way to do it than with the April Tango Utopia Milonga. This month will be a bit different than past Milongia’s, there will be a silent auction of Tango art by Charlotte artist Bill Temples. It is a beautiful charcoal on paper piece and would be a fine addition to anyone’s collection, he will be bringing some additional pieces for people to purchase separately. This month the DJ will be our very own Eduardo Lazarowski and he will surely keep your feet moving on the floor. As always there will be plenty of munchies for keeping our energy levels up but everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite beverage to share with friends. And don’t forget there will be a sparkling door prize for the lucky ticket holder.
Looking forward to see everyone on the dance floor.
