This week at the Blue Sage Thursday Tango classes continue with Danica, a great opportunity to learn this unique, sensual dance form 6 - 8 pm Upstairs in the Blue Sage apartment.   Argentine tango with classic form, flavor and music.  $10 per 2 hour class. The focus of the lessons will be our own bodies and where and how we are in them, then bring that together with a partner to move together. Understanding and appreciating the richness of tango music will also be prominent. The lesson will be an hour and a half with half an hour of music and an open question/help time. Danica began tango in 2005 and was so impelled by it that she dedicated herself to it full time from the first lesson on. She relocated to Berlin, where she danced every night, took lessons and quickly began teaching. After a few years she felt ready to relocate to Buenos Aires, where she danced her heart out but didn't stay. Now she's living in Hotchkiss and thrilled to help develop a tango community in the North Fork! Please contact her with any questions or for private lessons at danicatango@gmail.com   Tango is an amazing mirror of life, and a never ending development. We look forward to sharing the experience on Thursdays!       A 1, a 2, you know what to do! We had a lot of fun at our Carbondale Lindy Hop Playshop, sharing some classic Frankie moves with the dancers. Thanks, Ana, Mary, Susan and Dave for joining us on this dance adventure!     Frankie Manning, Ambassador of Lindy Hop!  The swing dance world pays tribute to Frankie this May, celebrating 100 years of Lindy Hop Want even more dance fun?
