2020 Argentine Dinner

Members of LSSC demonstrate smooth moves on skis and slopes, bike trails, hiking paths and as volunteers throughout the year. But smooth moves on the dance floor attested to their limitless talents, and bravery, at the recent Argentine dinner on February 11 at Artango Restaurant in Lincoln Square.   Thirty members and friends arrived on time to kick off happy hour with Latin cocktails.  Dinner service was passed plates of empanadas, tossed salad, cheese pasta casserole and chicken paella.

At 7pm, the focus was on the dance floor where Chicago tango instructors Daniela and Hernan showed off their award-winning abilities before they invited us to join them.  Hips and legs, arms and feet sailed, impressively. Dance lessons and practice from a recent trip to Argentina served Jan Carlson and Ken East especially well. Member Bob Oppenheim, a frequent customer at Artango, summed up the evening. “Just like coming home.”
