Thursday

        "To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful,
        more powerful," says Agnes De Mille.

        We are inviting you to get out of yourself, become more
        beautiful and more powerful this THURSDAY, 8-10 pm at
        1223 Peden St :)

        Expect an hour of tango basics, connection exercises and
        musicality and an hour of challenging, fun patterns where
        you can put into use what you practiced in the first hour.

        Here is a big bowl of tango passion mixed in with a cozy
        light of a star or a moon, a dash of a caressing breeze,
        a splash of a wave, a sprinkle of sand, a cool shade of
        a tree, and a touch of a sunset:
