Ever wanted to master tango or impress your friends with hidden talents (like I hope to do at karaoke—minus the hidden talent part)? Now’s your chance! Straight from Buenos Aires, Social Tango blends dance, live music, film and storytelling—perfect for Latin American Heritage Month. What’s cool about this performance? Local amateurs join the pros on stage! And you can test your own moves or what you’ve learned at the post-show dance party or milonga led by StevenJoanna Tango.

Okay, maybe it’s more contemplative than creepy, but The Etiquette of Dying offers an animated deep dive into mortality. This 50-minute film, born from guitarist Ron Samworth’s own battle with cancer, blends his haunting music with filmmaker Melissa Hubert’s visuals. After the screening, stick around for a Q&A with Ron and Melissa, followed by a live improvised musical set. Spoiler: We’re all dying, but at least you can learn to do it with a li’l etiquette.
