Tango in the Blue Sky -1

Well, believe it or not, York Beach exists outside of the time from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

I have the lamb pizza slice to prove it.

Adriana Pinto, doyenne of the Portsmouth Tango community has organized an evening of dancing  for various and sundry from both the PortTown communities.  Like so many places we're not really expected to be part of the buying crowd - mostly we are to add ambience to the experience. 

There is small crowd of dancers and a small but growing bunch of diners watching.

And they're getting a great experience.

The room has warm wood underneath, bright lights and a spinner lure in a glass case (shown in the pic) big enough to hook a right whale.  They've kindly dropped the lights down and turned off their sound system so Adriana's music can be heard.

It's really a very lovely space.  

I shudder to think what it will be like in Summer time:

• crowded
  
• full of indifferent, slightly pushy people
  
• hot
  

I can't wait to see it in Summer time:

• full of life
  
• catching people in the net of good music
  
• serving ice drinks with bright little umbrellas in them

This evening is progressing well.  People on the sides are watching and talking - half their attention on the dances and half on their drinks.  

More as the evening progresses...
