💃 Argentine Tango – The dancing Embrace✨
🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home — yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land — through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
🔹 **What to expect?**
✔️ Discover tango as a social language — not just a dance
✔️ Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
✔️ The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
✔️ No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
📍 **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. We’ll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
💰 **How much?** 10.000$
🙋🏼♀️ **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld — tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
👟 **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
☕ **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de Café and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires — and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
✨ See you on the dance floor!

¿Te mudaste a otro país y tuviste que reinventarte?
¿Construir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar — y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer?
El Tango Argentino nació exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de recién llegados encontraron conexión en una tierra desconocida — a través de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiéndose mutuamente.
🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?**
✔️ Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social — no solo como un baile
✔️ Ejercicios lúdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexión a través del movimiento
✔️ El abrazo, la caminata y el diálogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos
✔️ Sin presión ni secuencias complicadas — ¡bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
📍 **¿Dónde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fácil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy).
💰 **¿Cuánto?** 10.000$
🙋🏼♀️ **¿Quién?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld — bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cálidos, claros y auténticos de conexión a través de la danza.
👟 **¿Qué traer?** Ropa cómoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. También podés venir en medias). No necesitás venir en pareja.
☕ **¿Antes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Tienda de Café y venite con nosotras/os a la clase.
Entrá en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires — y quizás reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo.
✨ ¡Nos vemos en la pista!

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
