September 4th, 2016 โ Music Program
Argentine Tango returns to WaterFire Providence
Every dance is unique and unchoreographedโ a fusion of the dancers, the music and the feelings in that moment. Beginning after the lighting ceremony and running throughout the evening, performances will happen spontaneously at six locations along the riverbanks at the Waterplace Stage, the Pershing Bridge, the Bridge of Stars, the Confluence (off Canal Street), and by the RISD flag poles. The times can be found by consulting that eveningโs music program listing on the WaterFire website. Members of the public are encouraged to come meet the dancers and learn more and participate in an open milonga (dance) held on the Citizens Bank Plaza from 10:30 p.m. till midnight.
