Workshop and performance by Carolina Jaurena and Carlos Paredes.
She had long ago stolen the hearts of all the men and women of TutT. Then he came and asked the ladies: "Do you love me?" (embrace me) "Are you comfortable my love?" Then he initiated the walk. Then they danced!
He stole the hearts of all the ladies and the men were left saying: "Oh! So, that is how you do it!"
He reminded us, especially the leads to find their "Point" (the axis) to feel the music and to decide from there where to go next. To learn the “how” not the sequence… They reminded the followers to find her point also, to wait patiently and gracefully until the lead initiates the next movement.
What could be more essential in tango than finding your "Point / Axis" "From there" he told us, "there is an infinite number of possibilities".
He told the leads: "If you want a parada, do a parada, don't go around the world to then do your parada just because that is a sequence that you have learned." To feel the music, that is dancing...
Learn the "how" not the sequence, find your point, let the music speak to you. Dance your own dance!!!
It was a great class and a fabulous performance!!! Mil gracias Carolina and Carlos! Many thanks to all of you beautiful tangueros that came and participated in this wonderful event!
Keep dancing with us and with all the other venues in the area and make sure that you mark your calendars for the next workshop and performance with Diego Blanco and Ana Padron on Saturday February 11, 2012.
From all the TutT Team, muchos abrazos (many hugs)

Tango Under The Tent held its First Hudson Valley
Mega-Milonga on Saturday, June 27th. Tango leaders from the Hudson Valley were honored by 150 attendees in an evening that included refreshments, a performance by the internationally renowned Tango artists, Carolina Jaurena and Anton Gazenbeek, a silent auction, TangoArt and plenty of Tango music and dancing!
The evening was a fund raiser for Cell Phones For Soldiers, a not-for-profit organization which raises money to purchase calling cards for soldiers serving on active duty. Tango Under The Tent was able to present a check for $2,850 which represented the proceeds from the Mega Milonga evening. Accepting the donation on behalf of Cell Phones for Soldiers was Alixis Hull, who began her work with the organization as a way to honor the memory of her nephew, CPL Justin R. Garcia, who was killed in Iraq in 2006.
The fund raising efforts of Tango Under The Tent are a part of the organization�s mission which highlights the importance of giving back to the community. Other activities include providing free lessons to the military and therapeutic and recreational programs run in homes for seniors and for people with disabilities.

Valentines Day Milonga -
At Strictly Ballroom / New Windsor, NY
Tango under the Tent hosted its Valentine milonga on
February 14th at Joe Maraday�s �Strictly Ballroom� in New Windsor. With everyone dressed in something red and with all the ladies receiving a red rose as they entered, the mood was cast for the evening. The low lights and narcotizing sounds kept the dance floor busy all evening. The house was packed to a standing room only crowd. The audience was mesmerized with an outstanding performance by Ivan and Sara that brought the love and passion of Valentine�s Day to life. Their encore vals was an impressive work of beauty and simplicity. The event was so well received that �A Valentine�s Day Milonga and Performance� will now become part of the tradition of �Tango under the Tent�. Special thanks to all who helped make the evening a success.

NEW YEARS EVE GALA - Warwick, NY at Chateau Hathorn
Our first New Year's Eve Gala occurred at Chateau Hathorn in
Warwick, NY. It was an elegant event with great company, great food, and great drink, along with lots of tango, milonga, and vals.
34 dancers turned out for the festivities. The men looked dashing and the women were gorgeous as they danced the evening away only to be interrupted for the countdown to the New Year. Many expressed the desire to make this an annual event.

SPECIAL GUEST MILONGA -
At Tango Under The Tent
with Carina Moeller from Triangulo
We had a great turnout for "Tango Under the Tent" with special guest Carina Moeller from Triangulo Studio in NYC. She gave a very interesting lesson which included all of the following elements: sacada, gancho, barrida, boleo, and colgada. Everyone had a good time and we look forward to having her back again in the near future. Check the web site for pictures. You may be a "Dancing Star".
Carina Moeller is an accomplished dancer with training in modern dance, ballet, tap and jazz. After dancing professionally and performing with modern and theater dance groups all over the world, Carina moved to New York City in 1995, and danced with the Doris Humphrey Repertory Company. In love with Argentine Tango since her early theater days in Berlin, Carina combined passion and profession and pursued a career in Argentine tango. Her teachers have included Fabian Salas, Pablo Veron, Gustavo Naveira, Danel and Maria, Julio and Corina Balmaceda, Chicho and Lucia, and Mingo Pugliese. In 1998, in the heart of Manhattan, Carina opened her own dance studio: Triangulo; New York City's only dance studio exclusively dedicated to Argentine Tango.

FIRST MILONGA OF THE SEASON -
At Tango Under The Tent
We started off our tango under the tent season with a very enjoyable milonga that was very well attended. The cool weather required keeping the sides up on the tent and using heaters but everyone seemed to be comfortable. Our first pre-milonga beginner's lessons was also well attended and several of the newcomers stayed for the milonga. Special thanks to Carlos Sampelayo for a great selection of music and to Ingrid Jacob for another one of her outstanding home made cakes. Thanks again to Carlos and Jerry Kline for providing the lessons to new comers.
The tent seemed aglow in the cool early May air and the pulse of the music permeated the night.

Our Friday night Milonga was a huge success. Our attendance keeps growing and we anticipate continued growth and participation with our weekly mini-lessons. Carlos and Lynn Sampelayo once again got us going with the promised change of direction to the left after the previous turn to the right. They then joined together both steps making a very interesting combination; which could be continued as a chain, or used separately. We thank them for their support and excellent instruction.
Comment by Jerry & Adele
Thanks to the generosity and dedication of individuals we enjoy an excellent facility in the Round Hill House, Washingtonville NY. Its atmosphere and ambience lend a nice touch to the weekly Friday Milonga and is a welcome continuation of the popular Milongas �Under the Tent� during the summer. Word is spreading and the attendance is growing. Our special thanks to Carlos and Lynn for their complimentary lessons.
