Peixuan,
As part of the Tango festival, there will be a free outdoor show at Place des vestiges in the old port on July 9. Place des vestiges is near the train track, close to Jacques-Cartier pier.
I am not sure about the exact time. It is probably in the evening. You can check with tourist infomation booth on Jacques-Cartier pier in the old port.
There is a wide variety of Latin dances.
The ballroom Latin category consist of ChaCha, Rumba, Paso Doble, Samba, Jive.
The Latin dances that Saida talks about probably refer to Salsa, Merenge, Bachata, tropical ChaCha, which is supposed to have a different flavor than ballroom ChaCha.
You can get a taste of the dances during free introductory lessons,
usually given by dance schools as promotion to publicize their schools and attract potential students.
The dance school that organizes the Tango festival also holds free outdoor tango dancing
and free introductory clasess in the summer.
Besides the place that I mentioned on another post
"Some outdoor activities/concerts",
that school also holds the outdoor tango lessons
in the following 2 places:
1. Tango in the Parc Saint-Viateur,Outremont.
Free classes from 7:30pm to 9pm
every Sunday from June 29th to September 14th 2003.
2. Place des Vertiges in the Old Port.
Free classes from 8:30pm to 9:30pm
every Friday from August 1 to September 5, 2003.
There are also free outdoor linedancing activities,
that are mostly for fun and excercise,
less concern over exact timing or perfect techniques.
It is one great way to enjoy the outdoor in the summer evenings.
One of the most accessible places
is the one right next to Jean Drapeau metro station.
From 7pm to 11pm every Saturday, Sunday and probably Thurday too
from June 28 to August 20. |
