Argentine Tango: Dance and Music

Wednesday, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. - Merced Branch Arts & Culture Salon




Learn about this sultry Argentinean dance! Jurek Mazur, of the Academia de Tango Argentino, will talk about the history and development of Argentine tango dance and music. He has taught tango for eleven years, using a unique method that he developed. Dancers from the Academia will perform, demonstrating the beauty of a dance form that is rooted in the urban folklore of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. This program will take place in the library's courtyard (weather permitting).
