Tempted to Tango???

Mar 14th, 2010 by Jen R | 0

As founding member, Marta always says: “Energy Moves Everyone.” The energy of Road to 40 continues to grow as word gets out and people get involved. Marjorie Bone is sharing one of her passions in support of another. Namely, she has organized an evening of Tango, the proceeds of which will go to Room to Read:Road to 40. She has arranged for a fun-filled evening with professional dancers, Marianne and Arjan on Wednesday, March 31.
The cost is fifteen euros per person and with that participants get a delightful evening that consists of the following:

- enjoying a glass of prosecco
- viewing a short video,
- watching a professional demonstration
- get a tempting taste of Argentinian tango in a 1 hour lesson

After that the dance floor is open for all to enjoy their new found tango steps!
