Like
it hot? Want to learn how to shake it and look sexy
while you do? Two days of tango workshops with Carlos
& Maria Rivarola, legends of Argentine tango,
takes place at The Tango Center. Learn the Argentine
waltz or enroll in a class titled simply, "The Big Moves."
Carlos & Maria also perform one exhibition each
night at 9:30 pm. See Friday Calendar.
The
Chicago Tribune said, "If a band could ever be a microcosm
of Chicago, Sonia Dada is it." Dada brings its finely honed
and diverse fusion of rock and soul to the WOW Hall. The band
is tight as hell, given their proclivity towards letting members
express themselves to the full diversity represented by their
different instruments. The nine-piece group has had almost no
lineup change in nearly 14 years. See Saturday Calendar.
