The Tango Society of Minnesota is bringing the Charles Gorczynski Tango Quartet and over 200 square feet of hardwood dance floor to Northrop Plaza. It’s an afternoon of world class tango music for listeners and dancers, aficionados and enthusiasts, and those just plain curious to learn more about one of the most magical social art forms in existence today—Argentine Tango.
