The tango was born in Argentina from Italian and Spanish influences. It tells the story of a couple's embrace, and it is a very intense and beautiful dance. Our group wasn't too sure about spending the whole evening watching dancers, but their minds quickly changed.

Students getting ready to enjoy their meal before the start of the Tango Show Performance |
It started out with a dinner, and then we sat along a balcony overlooking the stage where the performance took place. Suddenly the music started, and a backdrop of the stage showed performers on horseback. Two live horses came on stage and re-enacted the fight between the Spanish and the Natives. After that, our whole group was entranced. The dance moves kept our attention apt, and the show also included singing and instrumental performances. He was a wonderful singer, but we really enjoyed watching the dancing the best.
All in all, it was a great evening, and there are some of us who want to learn how to tango now!
