Ruth De Vicenzo and Tango En Vie are collaborating to bring a weekend of soulful tango music and dancing to Orcas from Aug. 22 to 25. The schedule is as follows. It is being organized by Sara Thomsen, who grew up on Orcas.

“On Orcas I stayed connected to the nature around and inside me,” she said. “This allowed me to follow my heart and spirit around the world and move to Argentina for love and Tango.”
