Super-Interesting Workshop & then the Unity Milonga for Ukraine

2-3:30 pm: Workshop – Dancing with the Singer - Juan, Pato & Meredith
The singer is the soloist par excellence in tango. The particular and free phrasing of the tango singer is one of the emblems of this musical genre. Is it possible to transfer a little of this freedom that the singer has to our dance? In this workshop we will learn about the different styles of the great tango singers, analyze their phrasing, explore the relationship between voice and dance and how this particular way of singing can help us feel freer on the dance floor.
5-9 pm: Unity Milonga for Ukraine 2025 at Pivot Ballroom – See everyone there! (49 E. Lancaster Ave. Ardmore, PA 19003)
