[TSOM-Announce] Tango exhibition opportunity in Plymouth

Hello tangueros, tangueras

An elementary school in Plymouth with a multi-cultural interest is celebrating South America at their school's "International Night" in January. TSoM has been approached to demonstrate Argentine tango to their students, staff and parents. The program is open yet as to what we will do, but for now I'm seeking interested dancers who would like to participate. I copied the body of the inquiry I received from a representative of the school. It contains all I know at this point.

I'd like to have two to three couples committed by early November.

As always, in appreciation of those who love to perform,

Don Rowe

Hi!
I organize International Night at Oakwood Elementary School in Plymouth, MN.  The event will be on Thursday, January 22nd, 2015, from 6-8pm.  This is an opportunity for families to share their cultures (they represent countries of their heritage or interest with table displays in the gymnasium). Our theme this year is South America, which means that we will have samples of foods from different South American countries for families to taste and a cultural presentation or entertainment from that part of the world.  In the past, we've had dancers and musicians.  The children especially enjoyed the guests who not only performed but also shared stories from their culture or by taught the children a dance or let them experiment with the instruments.  There are so many wonderful ways to engage the children and really create a meaningful experience for them in one night!

Would someone from your group be interested and available to demonstrate Argentine tango at our event?  It would be a wonderful way for us to have a little focus on Argentina but also, some of our K-5 students think they know what tango is from cartoons and movies; it would be fun to show them "the real thing".  Maybe even 2 styles, one more dramatic and one less.  Also, some of their parents might be interested in learning tango and not aware of your organization or opportunities - I was excited when I came across your website ;-)  .

Please let me know if this is something you might be interested in / able to help us out with.
