This summer, I've been taking Spanish 43.06, also known as Tango Argentino: Music, Dance, Poetry, Community. I chose this course because the content seemed fun and fascinating, it furthers my Hispanic Studies minor, and I wanted to speak Spanish this summer to prepare for studying in Madrid this fall! This course, one of the most interesting and hands-on classes I've taken in my time at Dartmouth, involves classroom-based study of the history and culture of tango as well as actual tango dance classes in which we learn and practice the nuances and techniques of the dance form.
CLAREMONT — Twelve incoming juniors at Stevens High School will devote part of the 2019-20 school year to working with student-mentors, taking a college-readiness course and participating in academic enrichment opportunities, as part of a new partnership with Dartmouth College.
The prospect of dancing, especially a dance as flashy as the tango, can strike fear in the heart. All those steps to remember and execute correctly. All those people watching. But Dartmouth College professor Noelia Cirnigliaro hopes the Argentine tango workshop she’s presenting at Open Door Integrative Wellness in White River Junction on Saturday morning will have just the opposite effect.
The May 7 event will celebrate the successes of the young program, while also envisioning its future reach.
