Come to see the Anthropology of Tango Dance Show which will be presented at the beautiful Yonkers Riverfront Library auditorium.

The show created by Anton Gazenbeek & Sergio Segura, and featuring the presentation of the Traditional Argentine Tango Dance, demonstrates all the unique styles and forms of tango, tracking the evolution of tango from its birth in the late 1800’s to present day. The multimedia aspect of the show forms a smooth transition between stories and explanations told in lecture format by utilizing one-of-a kind video footage and show stopping dancing that has left audiences on their feet begging for more.

Show time is at 3pm and the show is two hours long with a twenty minute intermission and there will be a “milonga” 5:00pm in the lobby. There will be a VIP reception at 2:15 pm for donors.
