this week@neta (8/30-9/5) September Special

Welcome to this week!  In store: dancing discounts for checking into neta & milonga nueva this friday!!!!

We have lots of excitement in store for you.  To start off the week, Daniel Raphael is teaching Monday and Tuesday.  This will be his last set of classes for a while, so be sure to take advantage of them.  If you’d like a private lesson, he may have some slots on Tuesday - contact him directly at (908) 209-7267 to schedule a time.  As a side note, there is no class next Monday (Labor Day), and Fernanda will be back Tuesday!

So, what is the September Special?  This month, we are running a great promotion in conjuction with location-based social networks (like Facebook Places), in order to embrace the next wave of social networking.  Basically you can use your social network to “check in” to a location - that is, let your friends on the network know that you are at the place, and in exchange, you get a discount on classes or events.  So we will have two specials that run this month:

The first involves the beginner classes.  If you check in on Facebook to either the Tuesday 7PM beginner class, or the Thursday 8:30PM beginner class, you can take the class for 1/2 price, or $8. 
The second involves the Saturday Tango Practica (4:30-7:30) and Sunday Salsa Practica (5:00-7:30).  If you check in during either event, you can dance for only $1.
We think this is a great opportunity to introduce your friends to tango who may be on the fence, or to just come and dance, and to get a jump on the next big wave in social networking.  In order to get the discount, you need to show the check-in to the person collecting money.  More details at the end of this letter…

Finally, this Friday, Milonga Nueva comes to NETA.  This is Boston’s newest milonga, and it will the first one in our new space.  You can read about some of the details on the Facebook Page, but one of the highlights will be a chacarera class, from 8:30 to 9:00PM.  And we will play a Chacarera right after the end of the milonga at 1AM, so be sure to stay!

Don’t forget, Tango Flow is coming to NETA on Sept. 19 (Sunday).  Come check out this tango-inspired exercise, taught by Cathy Salmons.
