Facundo and Kely first danced with each other for six years as teenagers. They were then separated for 30 years by the events of their lives, and were finally reunited in 1991. Dancing was their invisible bond during that time, and they married shortly thereafter. They now own a dance studio in Buenos Aires and are sought after worldwide as Tango dancers and teachers. In addition to Tango, their speciality is Milonga, Vals and Candombe, and we have taken advantage of that exceedingly rare opportunity by presenting more than the usual number of sessions in these other “Tango-family” dances. (The Candombe is an African dance which was fused with the Cuban Habanera to result in the Milonga, which is in turn the predecessor of the Tango!)

| If You Are ... | You should take ... |
|---|---|
| Brand new to Argentine Tango | Both Tango fundamentals classes (T1+T2). Beginning Milonga (M1) and the Wednesday Tango Waltz (W1) are also recommended for those with some other dance experience (but you should plan on taking T1 & T2 to get the most out of them). |
| Beginning Argentine Tango dancer | All Saturday classes (T1, T2, M1) + Tango Waltz 1 (W1) the following Wednesday. Consider M2 and W2 only if you have taken all the above and feel very comfortable with all the material. |
| Intermediate Argentine Tango dancer | All Saturday and Sunday classes as well as both Waltz classes (W1+W2). Don’t skip the fundamentals (F1+F2)—they can be the most important part of the lessons! T3 will be the most advanced class, so if you are unsure, you may want to skip that. |
| Advanced Argentine Tango dancer | All Saturday and Sunday classes as well as both Waltz classes (W1+W2). We recommend that, to get the most out of the weekend and Facundo and Kely’s particular style, you not skip the fundamentals classes. |
| Still unsure as to what to take but can take only 1 day | Saturday’s classes (solidify the fundamentals and then you can also decide if you want to stay the extra day). Or focus on Tango Waltz and take one or both of the Waltz classes. |

From Alewife Brook Parkway (Route 16W): Alewife will turn into Fresh Pond Parkway (still Route 16). Follow Route 16 signs and it will turn you right onto Huron Av. Route 16 will then turn left again at the next light, but continue straight on Huron Av. VFW is about 0.5 mile on left.
From Harvard Square: Take Garden St. Turn left at second light onto Concord Av. Turn left onto Huron Av (major intersection with traffic light). Stay on Huron Av, crossing Fresh Pond Parkway (Route 2, 3). VFW is about 0.5 miles further on left.
By MBTA (Bus): Your best bet is probably Route 72 from Harvard Square, which takes you to the corner of Huron & Aberdeen, from where it’s a 5-minute walk continuing on Huron. Alternatively, routes 71 and 73 from Harvard Square take you up to the corner of Mt. Auburn St and Aberdeen. Walk up Aberdeen and turn left on Huron (10-minute walk).
