"I believe in my dreams and will pursue them with passion"

Monthly Dance Clip

Tango is a partner and social dance that originated in the 1880s along the Río de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. The tango was born in the impoverished port areas of these countries from a combination of Argentine Milonga, Spanish-Cuban Habanera, and Uruguayan Candombe celebrations. It was frequently practiced in the brothels and bars of ports, where business owners employed bands to entertain their patrons. It then spread to the rest of the world. A number of variations of this dance currently exist around the world.

NAME THIS FAMOUS DANCER

My name is Georgia Smith. I have been dancing since I was three years old, which basically tells you all you need to know about me as dance is the heart center of my life! I am presently training in every genre at the Melfort Dance Centre and right now preparing for groups, solo’s and duets for competition. When I’m not dancing I love to hangout with friends, take walks around our farm, spend time with family, watch movies and travel as much as possible. I’m really honored and excited to be this year’s CDTA Ambassador and look forward to all that brings. Happy New Year everyone!
