Tangoing with the nerds.

I only know how to tango in the loosest sense of "knowing." A few semesters ago, I joined a Latin dance club on campus, and learned a new style with them each Tuesday night--merengue, bachata, and tango were just a few of these, and tango is the one I remember best. Despite the fact that I'm not that good and don't know too much, I teach it at nearly every opportunity. Camp kids of all ages love to tango!--and waltz too, but that's another story.

Today was tango day. The closest estimate I could snag was 36 couples--that's seventy-two kids stepping, gliding, and twirling across the dorm lounge-slash-dance floor. I'm still not that great, but they had a fantastic time! Pictures will (hopefully) be coming soon, but for now I'll include some of the music, at least.
