Marian Norman, a dance teacher with Ballet Spartanburg, will teach the tango during January, as part of her ongoing community classes in ballroom dancing. The class will meet every Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the dance studios at Chapman Cultural Center.

Tango is a ballroom dance of Latin-American origin in two/four time with a basic pattern of step-step-step-step-close, and characterized by long pauses and stylized body positions. There about every month, a new ballroom dance is taught. The classes are affordable and partners are not required. To sign up, call 864-583-0339 or 864-497-8104.
