💃 Argentine Tango – The dancing Embrace✨
🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home — yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land — through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
🔹 **What to expect?**
✔️ Discover tango as a social language — not just a dance
✔️ Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
✔️ The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
✔️ No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
📍 **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. We’ll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
💰 **How much?** 10.000$ Limited spots available ✨
Please confirm your participation via WhatsApp by the afternoon before the class so I can prepare the space accordingly. Send your message to +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
🙋🏼♀️ **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld — tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
👟 **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
☕ **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de Café and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires — and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
✨ See you on the dance floor!

¿Te mudaste a otro país y tuviste que reinventarte?
¿Construir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar — y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer?
El Tango Argentino nació exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de recién llegados encontraron conexión en una tierra desconocida — a través de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiéndose mutuamente.
🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?**
✔️ Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social — no solo como un baile
✔️ Ejercicios lúdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexión a través del movimiento
✔️ El abrazo, la caminata y el diálogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos
✔️ Sin presión ni secuencias complicadas — ¡bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
📍 **¿Dónde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fácil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy).
💰 **¿Cuánto?** 10.000$ Cupos limitados ✨
Si querés sumarte, confirmá tu participación por WhatsApp hasta la tarde anterior a la clase así puedo preparar el espacio con tiempo. El numero es: +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
🙋🏼♀️ **¿Quién?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld — bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cálidos, claros y auténticos de conexión a través de la danza.
👟 **¿Qué traer?** Ropa cómoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. También podés venir en medias). No necesitás venir en pareja.
☕ **¿Antes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Tienda de Café y venite con nosotras/os a la clase.
Entrá en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires — y quizás reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo.
✨ ¡Nos vemos en la pista!

Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller**
**This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.**
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.
Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn!
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly.
Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
