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

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:
