Tango Mercurio’s Second Annual Fishnet Fête

(Tango Mercurio via DC City Blog) – Tango Mercurio is a non-profit organization built to inspire community restoration through the creative tradition of Argentine tango. More than just a dance company, Tango Mercurio is developing innovative approaches to social causes with their outreach programs for the elderly, as well as educational opportunities for disengaged youth.

A fundraiser to support these programs will be held on Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 from 7-11:30 pm at the Josephine Butler Parks Center (2437 15th St. NW, Washington DC) at Tango Mercurio’s second annual Fishnet Fête.

Both initiated and first-time dancers are encouraged to attend this elegant charity event which features live music with a community tango orchestra, entertainment and catering with the price of entry. Guest performers will be featured as part of the evening’s entertainment, including Arona Primalani from San Francisco, along with Francesca Jandasek, Melissa Greco, and Tango Mercurio Executive Director Sharna Fabiano as part of the Abrazo project, set to premiere

in DC in August 2010. A silent auction will be held from 7-11:00 p.m. as celebrated tango DJ Ramu Pyreddy is joined by our new community tango orchestra led by Korey Ireland to play sets of classic tango music for dancing! While cocktail attire is appropriate, prizes will go to attendees nominated for the most creative use of fishnet apparel.

Tickets are available online at www.TangoMercurio.com/fete.html , as restrictions prohibit Tango Mercurio from selling tickets at the door. Those interested in contribution to Tango Mercurio’s initiative but are unable to attend the Fishnet Fête may offer tax-deductible donations via the website.

The Josephine Butler Mansion is conveniently located between U Street and Columbia Heights metro station (yellow/ green lines). Please note that limited parking is available at the Josephine Butler Mansion on 15th and 16th streets.
