        A tango community is an association of dancers of all
        levels who attend social dances called “milongas” and
        informal practice gatherings called “prácticas.” For
        a tango community to grow and survive, dancers must have
        enjoyable dance experiences in a friendly environment. We
        host four milongas and a free weekly práctica every
        month for alumni of the school and members of the tango
        community at large.

        Join us for a fun night with friends sharing
        tango,conversation, celebration’s and more... in safe,
        inclusive and welcoming space of Houston Tango Community,
        where all can enjoy tango embrace and friendly atmosphere .

        Dia de Los Muertos Fermata milonga

        https://www.facebook.com/events/463651097567519/

        Saturday, November 2
        9:30pm to 1:00am

        Studio Nia Moves
        508 Pecore St, 77009

        We are excited to invite Houston and visitors milonga
        Fermata every first Saturday of the month at a great
        location with free easy parking, a great new floor,
        and welcoming, friendly environment.

        We promote a safe and inclusive space for all who are
        passionate about dance. We commit to creating a respectful
        and empowering space and invite you to share it with us
        and contribute to our vision.


        About the name:

        Fermata is a musical notation, indicating the prolonged
        pause in music. You might have heard the saying: "We dance
        between the steps", for us the peak of communication
        through dance/movement is actually in the moment of
        stillness right after it.  When there is so much desire
        to express yourself, but there is a pause and you must
        contain it and find the most subtle way to communicate it.
        It is that complete presence, honesty in the moment of
        pause. Hold the pause, embrace the pause, embrace the
        moment, embrace FERMATA.

        From Wikipedia: "A fermata (Italian: [ferˈmaːta]; also
        known as a hold, pause, or as a grand pause when placed
        on a note or a rest) is a symbol of musical notation
        indicating that the note should be prolonged beyond the
        normal duration its note value would indicate. Exactly
        how much longer it is held is up to the discretion of
        the performer or conductor, but twice as long is common."

        Beginners

        The program includes 4 weeks’ cycle to introduce the
        dancer to linear and circular movement, tango, and its
        specifics. Classes cover such aspects as balance, axes,
        and dissociation exercises. We learn to dance in tango
        embrace and communicate through it.

        Intermediate

        Classes are balanced between techniques of body movement
        and emotional connection through the dance. Open
        conversations on psychology of tango and its input in
        our life. Techniques bring higher awareness of your body,
        focusing on nonverbal communication with the partner to
        create very smooth movement together. Establishing clear
        understanding of the leader and follower role in the dance
        to become one. Musicality classes to allow you to feel
        the entire depth of the beautiful Argentinian Tango music
        and to find you own way to interpret it on the dance floor.

        Followers

        Everyone who wants to improve their skills as a follower
        and learn more about the follower’s role in tango is
        welcome. Please bring your questions and we will discover
        the answers together. Throughout this series we will not
        only be growing in our technical skills, extending our
        sensitivity, and practicing nonverbal conversation with our
        partner, but also having fun learning our responsibilities
        as a follower.

        the dancers around the pista.
