The show was nice with a good mixture of tango dances and songs.”

Started more than 30 minutes late as they waited for people to arrive. We had cut our dinner short only to arrive and wait for others. We did not do their dinner, so our guess was it was people late from their organized dinner…not positive though. Otherwise great.”
