Pablo Aslan's Avantango orchestra played some spectacular Tango at the Weis Center for the Performing Arts, in Lewisburg, PA on Dec 1, 2007. Their flight got delayed, so they were not able to get into Lewisburg in time to teach a 5PM tango lesson. Bill Boswell, Director of Weis center called us at 4PM to see if we could sub for them. The class had 32 people. It went well. About 40 people signed up the email list to receive more information about tango in Central PA. Michelle and I agreed to run a beginners class for 8 weeks.
Donald L. Heiter Community Center had space available on Saturday mornings. So we booked it for eight weeks starting January 19, 2008. On Dec 4 we sent out one email inviting people to join the class. Limited to 25 people. By Dec 11 the class was filled, and we had numerous requests for a class on Thursday evenings. We have people from Williamsport, Muncy, Hughesville, Lewisburg and surrounding areas.
So this little Victorian town in Central PA is on its way to getting its own Tango community. To see some amazing pictures of Lewisburg, see
