According to physician, dancer, and author Jeannette Potts, the partnered social dance, the tango, imparts many lessons including improved listening, communication, and leadership. On Sunday, Aug. 3 (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.), in the Atrium of Paso’s Studios on the Park, she will host a salon that “will feature musical performances, song, and dance, as well as inspiring lecture material she has shared with audiences as an international lecturer.”
Potts is the author of Tango: Lessons for Life, in which she “shares the metaphors she derives from the dance steps of Argentinian tango.” She believes that “many of the building blocks of this gorgeous dance are transferable to our daily lives.”
According to organizers, “This promises to be entertaining, educational, and inspiring. For the finale, dancers in the audience will be invited to share the dance floor. Jeannette is honored to be accompanied by her charismatic tango instructor, the Chicago-based artistic director of Tango 21 Jorge Niedas, as well as the talented and beloved artists from our own classical music community: Grace Seng, Hilary Clark, and Susan Azaret Davies.”
