The front page of The New York Times Arts section today looks at dancing to a Latin beat, the funnest activity in the world (as vividly displayed above in the photo accompanying the story).
In spite of losing well known meccas for Latin dance fans in New York City, the Palladium Ballroom for instance, “...these days,” The Times reports, “Latin dance scene is truly a moveable feast that offers dedicated fans — and curious beginners — the possibility of stepping out seven nights a week.” In regards to tango, “a good place to start,” they recommend, “is at the 92nd Street Y, which sponsors an Argentine Tango Party on the first Saturday of every month.”
“Every day there are two or three places where you can dance tango in New York,” said Karina Romero, host of the Argentine Tango Party along with her dance partner Dardo Galletto. Galletto added: “This city has become almost like Buenos Aires.”
General registration for Argentine Tango Party begins next Thursday, July 29; priority registration is open now. The nights begin at 8pm with group lessons, and then turn into a dance party from 9pm to 2am.
Also on tap for social dance classes: Intro to Salsa, Basic Six Ballroom, Swing, Jitterbug and Lindy and English Country Dance.
