| Tango at the Mercury Café
Wednesdays and Fridays
Times Vary - Check Schedule
Tango, because life is short. Right now is the time for Tango. The tango that is danced at the Mercury Café evolved in Argentina in the 1930’s and 1940’s in an ethnic melting pot, as Jazz did here in the United States. The music is compelling and deep. The Mercury is one of the few places in North America that hosts live Tango music regularly and offers a Tango dance every Friday night. The dance is preceded by classes so that everyone can fully embrace this extraordinary music.
Expand your horizons, join the worldwide Tango renaissance and enhance your life deeply. Come. Come Tango…right now.
Information is available by calling 303-294-9281 or at www.mercurycafe.com.
