Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow. These are the five basic steps of the tango.
This unique CSO Proof event is more than just a performance — it's an opportunity to participate in a concert experience where you — the audience — can learn the tango. Expert instructors from Tango del Barrio will be on site to guide you through the basic steps of tango in an engaging and accessible lesson. Then, join the milonga before a performance by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and professional tango dancers.
Embrace the sultry rhythms and dance elements of tango and join us for a celebration of music, movement, and the joy of learning. Participate in as little or as much of the experience as you’d like!
