Ole! Cranberry to Get Spicy with Tango Classes

Sure, it takes two to tango, but you don't have to bring a partner to the new dance sessions starting April 11 in the Cranberry Township Municipal Center.

Participants will keep changing partners throughout the recently added eight-week tango class, so singles are welcome.

The tango is believed to have originated in the 1890s along the border between Argentina and Uruguay, a statement from the township said. It soon spread worldwide. Today, there are many forms of the tango as a result of influences acquired during its expansion into Europe, Africa and elsewhere.

The American style tango—a classic ballroom dance best known for its spirited attitude—is the form which will be taught in Cranberry from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday evenings April 11 through May 30.

A program fee of $88—$80 for Cranberry residents with a Resident Discount Identification Card—is payable at the time of registration.

 In-person enrollment is available at the Customer Service Desk of the Parks & Recreation department inside the municipal center, by phone at 724-776-4806 x1129, or online at the township's website.
