@marcelo.gutierrez.tango returns to @westernmatango today!
Marcelo has a way of getting underneath the obvious problem. Not just what step comes next, but how the movement is built. How we stand, how we change weight, how we organize the body, how simple elements become extraordinary.
This Western MA milonga will also be special because we will be presenting our new piece. We're looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
Thursday 5/14 — Northampton / Practica del Valle

How Figures Evolve from Simple Elements
If your tango has been feeling stuck, effortful, too much in your head, or too dependent on memorized sequences, this is a good week.
Private lessons available with Marcelo. Book directly with him [email protected]
From May - June we're deciphering cross versus parallel system. It's more than using it for basic to the cross or to start ochos, switching between the systems is the key to understanding tango vocabulary and unlocking improvisation.
Thursdays at 7:30pm-9:00pm class and 9:00pm-9:30pm open guided practice time
Let's improve our tango together 💃

For those looking to start your tango journey Brian will guide your first steps to confidently navigate the dance floor. Over 8 weeks you'll gain a strong foundation to learn the language of tango.
For our tango improvers, are you wondering what cross system is or you've been taking some classes and need help improving how to seamlessly go from cross to parallel. Are you following and have no idea how to handle when the couple is in cross or parallel? Andi is here for you.
Thursdays at @ultimatetango are also special because we've added 30min of practice time after class.
Summer is coming!

Why Try Tango?
Because tango teaches more than dance.
It teaches balance, listening, patience, confidence, and connection - all through movement. Many discover that tango helps them move better, think clearer, and connect deeper - both on and off the dance floor.

What if performing wasn’t about being perfect - but about becoming more present?
Presence Lab is a guided performance-prep program for dancers who want to build confidence, clarity, and stage presence in a structured, supportive way.
You’ll work through a focused 4-private-lesson series with Andi or Brian. Together, you’ll prepare a piece to perform at an upcoming @ultimatetango Open House - not as a high-pressure spectacle, but as a meaningful milestone in your growth.
You’ll focus on:
• A confident, attention-aware entrance
• Musical execution of the steps you already know
• Clean structure and transitions
• A grounded, composed exit
• Gradually building comfort under the spotlight
This is about intention, clarity, and learning how to hold space on the floor.
You can repeat the program monthly to keep developing your presence and get comfortable with performance energy over time.
If you’re curious - and maybe just a little nervous - that’s a good place to start.

Our dear friend @garofalojose2018 is conducting his last USA tour. We love his energy, passion, and sense of community. Let's not forget to mention all of his tango knowledge too.
He's still in Boston a few more days so don't miss his DJing at Dance Union on Wed (3/18). I hear he still has a few spots for private lessons before he departs to Western MA so contact @vickymagaletta for info.
This weekend he's @westernmatango 's Big Tango Weekend guest. We’re looking forward to all his workshops! Don't wait to book your private lesson spot. Contact Brian for info.
