    A MESSAGE FROM WAI CHUNG AND MAEVE

    Hola Tangueros!

    We're coming back from Argentina in June!

    We spent three exciting months in the tango capitol. We wish everyone have the chance to feel what it's like to be in an authentic Milonga in Buenos Aires.

    So we have decided to organize a party at Abrazos on Friday 22/jun -- with everything that the best milongas should offer. And we named it 'Bien Milonguero'.

    Bien Milonguero is really an expression that means, "That's really from the Milongas of Buenos Aires".

    Here is a sneak preview of our highlights:

    • Music from the Golden Age of Tango, (DJ by Maeve)
    • Typical Kiosco Food and Drink from Buenos Aires (it's really not that exotic..)
    • Performance of Tango Salon by Maeve and Wai Chung and friends,
    • Ample Seating with tables
    • A beautiful dance floor
    • We're also throwing in a few other surprises from Buenos Aires. You have to come to find out.

    EXTRAS -- because Singapore is such a special place!
    (This doesn't happen in BA)

    • Free Intermediate Class with Wai Chung and Maeve (class starts at 9pm)
    • Door gifts from Buenos Aires for a limited number of early birds

    WE EVEN INCLUDE THE TRANSPORTATION

    You can get a free ride from Great World City or Tiong Bahru MRT to come to Abrazos. Just send your name to waichung@tangosingapore.com to make your reservation. Pick up time is between 8.15pm and 8.45pm, and between 10pm and 10.30pm.

    The dress code is Casual Chic with Black. BYO bring your own wine and alcohol if you wish.

    We look forward to see you at "Bien Milonguero"!

    Un Abrazo,

    About Wai Chung (aka "Juancho") and Maeve (aka "Mabel")

    Both Wai Chung and Maeve have been dancing Tango for over 4 years. Their passion for Tango, combined with the pursuit of self-improvement, has led them to undertake additional roles in the Tango community. Complementary to continuous learning with Maestros, they also teach Tango and DJ. Today, their dancing has been described as elegant, soft, and musically expressive.

    As teachers they are clear in explaining dance movements in detail and are particular about advanced techniques as well as fundamentals such as embrace, footwork and connection to music and partner.

    Students take away from the courses a strong fundamental understanding of Tango both as a dance and as a culture. They are encouraged to be open-minded in their pursuit of Tango as there is often no clear definition of "right and wrong" and the choice to dance a particular style is completely personal.

    Their recent 3-month immersion in Buenos Aires has deepened their knowledge both as Tango dancers and teachers as they gain a better understanding of the many styles of Argentine Tango that is danced in the Salons of Buenos Aires. From the world's best teachers, they have learned not only different styles of how to dance, but also how to teach different styles of Tango.
