Dancing in the Streets

The Argentine Tango in the Poconos shared demonstrations and taught the finer points of the Tango to many eager and intrigued passersbys of the Brite Lite Laundry Services Parking Lot in Stroudsburg, PA on Saturday August 1st. Although the music could be heard only a few feet away due to the moving traffic, the intoxicating and sensual energies could be felt throughout the town. Those who ventured to the paved dance floor eschewed with buckets of candles adding to the romantic atmosphere were provided with an opportunity to allow the sensations encouraged by the music and movement to become manifested in their introduction to the dance form.

The Argentine Tango in the Poconos holds their classes at The School of Visual and Performing Arts* in Stroudsburg, PA every Tuesday evening beginning at 6:30pm. Please Contact The Argentine Tango in the Poconos at 570-476-7663 or awfran@ptd.net for more information and to register.
