6:30 PM - 8:30 PM	Argentine Tango Practica - Argentine Tango Practica - Spring 2026 - Sergio RuizCordova Join us to dance the most beautiful, elegant and sensual dance in the world, the Argentine Tango. Tango is drama, passion and romance; a dance of connection and dialogue between partners. Tango is not a series of memorized steps, nor a dance that merely promotes mechanical reactions; rather it is a dance of improvisation where both partners must listen to the music and, more importantly, listen to each other. Members of this group have been dancing the Argentine Tango for at least ten years and are happy to share their tango skills. FREE to the public.
