Tango21: A Dance for Every Body

Step into an evening where connection takes the lead.

This First Friday, the Holland Area Arts Council invites you to experience the vibrant, expressive world of Argentine Tango with Tango21 Dance Theater, a Chicago-based company known for blending storytelling, music, and movement into something truly unforgettable.

Whether you’ve never danced a step or have years of experience, this is a space designed for you. Tango21 believes that showing up as your authentic self matters more than perfect technique, and that dance can be a powerful form of connection, creativity, and even healing.

The evening begins with an all-levels tango class from 6:00–7:00 PM, followed by a practica from 7:00–9:00 PM where you can continue dancing, practicing, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. A concurrent music workshop will also explore the rhythms and soul behind the dance.

This program is part of a new monthly series running April through August, bringing live performance, classes, and community-building to Holland. In partnership with Shannon Connell, Ph.D. of Tending to Your Brain, this initiative also highlights the neurological and physical benefits of tango, from improved coordination and balance to increased social connection and well-being.

Come curious. Come as you are.
No partner required, just a willingness to step into something new.

$20 per person
