Get ready to step, sway and spin to the melodic motions of the Tango at JB Duke Hotel, the AAA Four Diamond hotel located on Duke University's campus. This beginner-friendly class, led by Sadie Zimet of Ninth Street Dance, explores the basic footwork, lead and follow techniques, and turns that sweep you across the ballroom and create the Tango’s electric feel. Encompassing passionate, sharp movements, the Tango is often dramatic in nature and embodies the rhythmic and melodic structure of the music. After the class, guests will stop by the JB Duke’s chic Lobby Lounge from 7-7:30 p.m. for an intimate Q&A session, where they’ll learn about the cultural context and history of the Tango. The hotel’s imaginative culinary team will also treat guests to a complimentary specialty cocktail sample, crafted to reflect the vibrant flavors and traditions of the period the tango originated.  Sadie Zimet, a Durham-based artist and instructor, has been teaching ballroom and social dance in the Triangle since 2013. Her expertise spans a wide variety of styles, including East and West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa and more. In addition to her dancing skills, Sadie is an award-winning musician and Appalachian clogger.  The dance class and Q&A session is priced at $25, and advanced registration is required by purchasing the individual classes here: https://ecommerce.jbdukehotel.com/product-category/experiences/.
