Courtney and Brent are Argentine tango dancers. Courtney began dancing because she fell in love with Astor Piazzolla, a tango composer, when she was learning the accordion. Then, she dragged Brent along with her for the ride, too! Brent had danced ballroom before, but soon turned into a tango (and post-contemporary modern) dancer! They will be dancing an Argentine tango for their first dance.

Guests are not expected to dance or learn tango! However, we highly recommend it!!

More about the dance:
Argentine tango dance was born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires in the late 19th century. The dance is grounded in the relation between two moving bodies, leader and follower. Like other social dances, its focus is inward, emphasizing internal experience over presentation. In every moment, improvised interplay and nonverbal conversation determine movement quality, character and trajectory. Lacking a basic step set to a specified rhythm, the tango couple is free to improvise and determine the rhythmic phrasing and framing of their bodies in relation to the accompanying music.
