And remember one thing – if it were easy everyone would be doing it!

In the social Argentine tango two strangers embrace each other regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, nationality, or sexual orientation. In silence, they move as one creating intricate figures (following no choreography). This dance changes lives and heals. Its strong worldwide presence led the UNESCO to list it as patrimony of humanity. A power point presentation will illustrate the readings about the people, the place, and the poetry of tango. Beatriz Dujovne is a PhD psychologist and dancer. She was born and raised in Buenos Aires and has lived more of her adult life in the USA. Publisher, McFarland, 2011
